Abstract
Proper infrastructure planning has always been one of the concerns of planners in contemporary era to achieve economic growth and improve the quality of life in cities and ultimately move to sustainable development through a comprehensive urban plan. The purpose of this study is to evaluate infrastructure planning in comprehensive urban plans in order to provide the valid conception of the dimensions, components and structure of infrastructure planning to urban decision makers in the preparation and implementation of urban development plans. Comprehensive plans of Saveh, Maku and Khorramshahr were selected as samples. The research method is descriptive-analytic. Also Delphi technique has been used to collect experts' opinions. then, the SWARA and Gray Aras method have been used to prioritize the criteria and rank the samples. The results of this study showed that among the effective dimensions of infrastructure planning, the most important is the technical-subject dimensions (0.303), respectively. Moreover, in connection with the criteria for planning the construction, among the technical-thematic criteria: transportation network (0.167) is the highest. Among the institutional-financial criteria: city financial technical capacity (0.079), Among the normative criteria of climate: environmental impacts (0.065), and also related to morphological criteria: the relationship between city form with linear infrastructure (0.54). Overall, in relation with the ranking of comprehensive plans for case studies from the point of view of infrastructure planning, the master plan of Maku won the highest score, followed by comprehensive plans of Saveh and Khorramshahr.
