An explanation of urban sprawl phenomenon in Shiraz Metropolitan Area (SMA)

Urban Sprawl, as a low-density, unplanned, unlimited and sporadic physical expansion towards suburban area is one of the worldwide challenges facing spatial development planning in recent years. In a great part of literature on urban sprawl, dealing with this phenomenon depends on controlling two main factors of “population growth” and “per capita land consumption”. This study is to propose a comprehensive framework for dealing with this phenomenon emphasizing the case study of Shiraz Metropolitan Area (SMA) in Iran through identifying the drivers stimulating these two factors. Analyses were carried out by using spatial analytics, mathematical and statistical methods such as Holdern analysis, path analysis and other statistical analyses. Investigating the drivers and factors, the article suggests that unlike many reviewed experiences, “per capita land consumption” is not the main factor in SMA's Sprawl. Instead, “population growth” due to employment opportunities, higher relative household income and affordable housing policies are the main drivers. Furthermore, attracting creative class through development of knowledge economy and ICT infrastructures has adversely influenced urban sprawl. In addition, automobile-oriented developments have exacerbated this phenomenon by stimulating city expansion towards invaluable natural and rural areas. Thus, in order to control the phenomenon under study, it is necessary to take into account these factors in planning priorities and allocation of resources considering the causal relations between them.

Literacy Education and Sustainable Development in Developing Societies

The development of a literate society is a pre-requisite for the emergence of a knowledge economy. The thesis advanced in this paper is that, without massive investment and promotion of literacy education, development that is targeted at the 17-point sustainable development goals (SDGs) will be bereft of citizen’s empowerment, engagement, experiential values and evidential consequences in social change. Therefore, using a qualitative approach conceptual), this study explored the causal correlation that subsists between literacy education, emergence of knowledge economy and sustainable development. The study established that, literacy is basic in andragogical context for facilitating citizens’ values re-orientation attitudinal change for the acquisition of vocational or functional skills and operational knowledge that is beneficial to individual as well as the collective drive for a literate society for the reduction of vulnerability and increase in sustainability in development respectively as expected in the SDGs. Consequently, the resultant outcomes will be a knowledge driven economy which is essential for the attainment of the sustainable development goals as envisaged by the United Nations declaration of 25th of September, 2015.
