Abstract

Spatial planning approaches along with complication of societies are being changed. These changes and transformations have reflected themselves in increasing diversification of economic patterns, people, group, organization, and institution’s mobility. While in less developed network societies some of the concepts including “distance” and “movement “are relatively losing their importance , some fairly new ones such as “time “ and “timespace convergence “ are gaining ground .As a matter of fact, problems associated with spatial planning in less developing economies possess different nature. Appropriate response to these problems require application of compatible strategic planning as well as changes in planning style .Structuralfunctional approaches as a strategic planning tool regarding organization of space at different levels and scales within new social geography framework tries to explain complex aspects of spatial organization in less developed societies as well as to find solutions with respect to rooted functional-structural relation problems. The major objective of this paper is to compile the needed materials regarding such a unique strategic spatial planning.

Abstract

Objective: The rural settlement's spatial system comprises two primary elements of structures and functions. Furthermore, the discourse also delves into contemporary factors and forces influencing the settlement system's capabilities and constraints. These factors and forces play a role in the establishment and alteration of the settlement system, encompassing both internal and external influences. The study endeavors to assess the repercussions of unfavorable and erratic structural-functional alterations on the underdevelopment of rural settlements in the central district of Manujan Township.
Methods: This research is applied in nature and adopts a descriptive-analytical approach. The study's statistical population consists of 66 settlements in the villages of central Manujan district, with a total population of 49428. Utilizing the Cochran formula, 379 individuals were selected through simple random sampling and proportional representation for questionnaire completion. Statistical tests were conducted using SPSS software.
Results: Findings reveal a lack of significant correlation between the structural-functional approach to the settlement system and rural development in central district of Manujan Township. Most rural settlements lack basic services and amenities, leading to instability as identified by Pearson correlation analysis. Significant associations exist between structural-functional changes and developmental deficiencies. Multiple regression results highlight the impact of structural-functional components (independent variable) on residential development levels (dependent variable) within Manujan's Township villages.
Conclusions: These components elucidate the residential landscape of central district of Manujan Township. Consequently, research findings indicate the unstable, irregular, and underserved nature of rural settlements in central district of Manujan Township.
