Abstract:

Evidence shows that the uncontrolled expansion of the Tabriz metropolis, based on the desires and needs of the urban society, will cause extensive transformations and changes in various aspects of life for some of the villages in its influence zone. The rapid growth of the city's population and consequently, the overflow of part of the population to the villages in the influence zone, which is mainly carried out with the aim of work and activity or obtaining land and housing, is among these transformations that itself causes major changes in the type of economic activity of villagers and also the land use of such villages. The main objective of the present study is to examine these changes and explain the role of population economic transformations in them. The foundation of the study is based on field studies, and to examine and analyze the subject, 'descriptive-analytical' and 'documentary' methods have been used. For testing the relationships, the Chi-square statistical test, the Phi (φ) and Cramer's V correlation coefficients related to this test, and the F-test have been utilized.
