Abstract
The purpose of this study is comparison of construction violations in collecting streets with local streets
in District 10 of Tabriz Municipality as worn texture. The used method in this study is description-field
investigation. The buildings were studied and photographed in the field, and with the help of relevant
organizations, the identity cards of each building (80 on the collector street and 25 on the local street)
were extracted by studying their files.The buildings were further classified into four distinct groups
including buildings with authorized constructions, building with authorized constructions with attention
to the 100th act of municipality, buildings with authorized constructions with slight correction in their
permissions, and the buildings with unauthorized constructions. The results show that in both collecting
and local streets, respectively, 23.5% and 20% of buildings have authorized construction, 27.5% and 36%
have unauthorized construction, 47.5% and 36% have constructions with attention to the 100th act of
municipality, 1.25% and 8% commissions have constructions with slight correction in their permissions.
In order to overcome these problems, it is necessary to correct the structure of economy, and ceasing the
laws in 100th act of municipality, in which financial penalization do matter the most. Furthermore,
reviewing and updating the laws, in particular, the detailed implementation of urban planning plans,
including a detailed plan and no change of residential to commercial use, and monitoring the non-change
of residential use to the parking lot, reducing the time to obtain a permit and enforcing it on local street is
emphasized.
