Abstract

اکولوژی اجتماعی شهر به ساخت قطاعی نامتعادل تبدیل شده است.
The structure of a town is determined by the arrangement of its natural elements, urban spaces, and their reciprocal relations. The physical development of a town is influenced by various factors including socio-economic, religions and political conditions which naturally undergo different changes.
The present article attempts to study the dominant factors affecting the ecological structure and physical development of Yazd over the time. Thus, certain historical, descriptive and analytic research methods have been used to achieve the objectives.
The results of the study indicate that since 1961, the pattern of urban physical development has been influenced by disruptive socio-economic conditions governing the entire country, hence towns such as Yazd too. The evil has brought about a disorder in the spatial organization of the town and turned the socio-ecological pattern into a sectorial one.
