Abstract

In 1902, Mozafaredin Shah was familiar with the car on his trip to Europe and brought two cars to Iran. Gradually more cars were brought into the country. Since 1921, the body of Iran's major cities was affected by movement of vehicles. Nowadays, the unbridled use of cars affects Iran's urban management, particularly in cities with a population of more than fifty thousand persons. In addition to the many advantages, the vehicle presence in Iranian cities sometimes has negative consequences. Traffic, noise and air pollution are inevitable disadvantages. Lack of public and private parking is a serious issue for those involved in planning and urban management in Iran, leading to social and economic costs. Lack of parking in Iranian cities is affected by cultural and economic factors and administrative structures. The creation of public parking will not be improved without modification of the factors. Hence, this study introduces a new idea based on the reform approach which resolves a significant part of the problems. This idea is based on the revision and reform of registration rules. A corrective action in the event of operational supports leads to improving the construction of public parking. This new idea provides the severance of public parking and the possibility of issuing the entire document for each unit of parking.

Summary

Introduction

The arrival of cars to Iran dates back to a hundred years ago. Mozaffareddin Shah Qajar brought the first car to Iran and the royal family gradually increased the number of cars in big cities. The number of daily trips within the city during three time periods is as follows: 14.6 million per day in 2004; 17.4 million per day in 2012 and 17.7 million per day in 2013. In 2013, the average daily number of 12548 incoming passengers and 13653 outgoing passengers using railway was recorded for Tehran city (other than urban subway network) (Statistics on Tehran, Traffic & Transportation, 83). The above statistics indicate a greater share of urban travel by cars and generally express the volume of traffic in Tehran. This volume of traffic, especially significant share of cars and passenger transportation, requires precise planning and management. One of the basic requirements is the provision of parking for cars; the presents study investigates this issue
