In achieving this goal, forecasts has been done for new towns in different intervals, mainly in the field of population and employment. Now after this period, it is appropriate opportunity for evaluating those functions.
This paper evaluates the new towns of Tehran(Hashtgerd, Pardis, Parand and Andisheh) ranks them, using "standardized score" in connection with absorbing forecasted population for those cities in given period. Results show that Tehran’s new towns doesn’t perfect in the population absorbs that for those forecasted.Following the appearance of economic and social problems as well as environmental ones in megalopolises and the quality downturn of life in these megalopolises due to extremely intensity of population and activities, building new towns strategy has been chosen, with the aim of decentralizing megalopolises.

It is expected that rural guide-plans are prepared based on physical and functional orders. This paper intends to evaluate structural patterns of 30 rural guide-plans in Iran in 30 various provinces, using AHP Model. Within the reseach conceptual framework, four criteria were selected as creation and continuity of major road, creation of a single network of different centers, functions for spatial unity, and spatial hierarchy order. Characteristics of roads, roads facilities, the number of centers, empowerment of major centers, public land uses in rural strtuctures, spatial functions, and changes in public and private spaces and roads hierarchies are among sub-criteria. The research findings showed that the empowerment of major roads is acceptable. However, the creation of centers together with their sub-criteria is not acceptable. The criterion of functions together with its sub- citeria of public land use in structure is, because of their distance scales, on average; therefore, it is necessary to empower this criterion. The criterion of spatial hierarchy is also on average. Considering the positive and negative points in prepation of rural guide-plans, several issues and items can be considered for improving such plans. These recommendations are presented in a table within the conclusion of the paper.Parallel to systematic planning, evaluation subject has become a major issue.

In this paper, a literature review of location theories and models in the context of site selection. Two main models have been suggested for decision-making: discrete and continuous models. In discrete models alternatives are given but in continues models alternatives are indefinite. This paper compares the models TOPSIS as discrete ones and index overlay and Boolean as a continuous models. Usually, the discrete models use location decision matrix and continuous models use GIS function as tool analysis. We compare these models with evidence of rural production units.
