So, nowadays, identification of capacities and abilities in line with access to this important affaire is placed at the center of development planner in different levels of geographical spaces. A brief look at country’s different areas especially urban sectors indicates this fact that many of development potential abilities and capabilities are actual and hidden with respect to spatial and structural varieties in the land area.One of the existing potential features in this field at the country’s spatial areas is revealing capacities of border areas development of provinces. If we consider borders and border locations as a positive factor and phenomenon in development, surely we will require attitude’s changes in approaches toward border areas’ role.

Introduction

Cities’ increasing expansion and the increase in their population have created many changes in their spatial and also social and economicstructures which these changes sometimes have been accompanied by inappropriate and negative consequences. In response to issues and crises due to such changes, some new concepts and approaches for future development were discussed which we can refer to environmental justice, smart development, etc. (Bartone et al -2003: 18). Posing sustainable development as the third millennium slogan will be due to the cities’ effects on the scope of biosphere and different dimensions of human life so that the discussion regarding sustainability and sustainable development through neglecting cities and urbanism will be meaningless. (HosseinZadehdalir et al –
2007:2).

which have been posed by content of positive effects of boundary situation on cities’ development, the obtained averages are more than average levels. Boundary situations have left positive remarkable effects from the opinion of respondents. Of course, we should not neglect the negative effects such as presence of some crimes such as indecent relations, divorce increase, etc., the intention increase to leave
education among students, environment destruction and region’s natural environment because of boundary interactions and the expansion without city’s plan and destructing environment around the city which the respondents believe that these are the results of boundary situation.
