چکیده:
Today’s Transportation is known as one of the most important elements of urban development structure. Public Transportation, according to its more extensive functional capacity, can play a vital role in wider scale. Transit Oriented development by focusing on the subways is one of the special approaches in this field. Recently, Tehran Public Transport Fleet has significantly improved especially in the field of subway and BRT. Although Tehran has the potential capacity it could not only benefit from the advantages of this development, but also has imposed many social and traffic problems around stationary complexes. These are because of lack of implementation principles of TOD and the proper functioning of them. Mirdamad Station Complex plays a role in the implementation of these principles to achieve an efficient station complex. TOD is included four main principles: (1) Intensive development, (2) mixed land uses, (3) pedestrian-orientation, (4) Transportation facilities. In this study, the functional principles of TOD in the Mirdamad Station Complex are assessed using librarian data and archived studies in order to do descriptive and analytical research. As a main result the Mirdamad Station Complex, with the implementation rate of two-third of the functional principles, is in desirable condition and can be used as one of the complex station in Tehran

TOD is included four main principles: (1) Intensive development, (2) mixed land uses, (3) pedestrian-orientation, (4) Transportation facilities.
Calthorpe characterized TOD with these features: organizing regional growth for supportive transit; mixing commercial, residential, employment, parks and services land uses with given opportunities for pedestrians to walk between trans stop spaces; creating close pedestrian networks with direct contact with local destinations; providing various types of residential spaces in terms of density and cost; conserving sensitive stations in terms of coastal areas and high-quality open spaces; creating public spaces with an emphasis on the orientation of the buildings and local activities; encouraging redevelopment inside the transit lanes in the neighborhood (Soltani et al.
An essential objective of TOD is to create connections among business, recreation, shopping and living centers within walk-able distance from the transit station so that people can conveniently use public transportation system instead of personal vehicles (Rezabeigi et al.
It can be realized by creating attractive complexes for walking people by designing, caring the orientation of the buildings and entrances, the sound connection of the streets to alley networks, and caring the width of sidewalks in accordance with climatic conditions (Behzadfar & Zabihi, 2011, p.
The sub-criteria of intensive development included the scale, block attribute and building density; those related to mixed land-use included land-use type; those related to pedestrian-friendliness included caring building orientation, sound connections among street, and appropriate width of sidewalks; and those related to transportation facilities included parking spaces and convenience.
