The Structure of Urban Planning System in the Context of Social Harm (Zemiology)

The theory of Zemiology (social harm) goes beyond the discourse of "crime" and "criminals" to study the significant physical, mental, and economic harms resulting from structures. It provides solutions for reforming and changing the criminal justice system and preventive measures based on structural reform. Despite the majority of the country's population living in cities and the effects of harm in the urban planning domain, research on the structure of the urban planning system, including urban planning and management systems, from the perspective of social harm has not been observed. In this study, the structure of the urban planning domain has been examined using a descriptive-analytical method. The structure is based on organizational conflicts of interest placing the urban planning system at a crossroads between combating violations or generating revenue from these areas, leading to the approval of urban development plans that are the source of many violations resulting in harm to the urban planning domain, the reactive approach of legal bodies and relevant authorities in combating violations and crimes in the urban planning domain, absence of preventive mechanisms for under-construction and operational buildings are among the most significant structural causes in urban planning systems that have led to the creation and increase of harmful factors such as marginalization, construction and persistence of unsafe and non-standard buildings, air pollution in cities, and an increase in damages and casualties resulting from earthquakes, floods, fires, etc., in cities. Reducing harm from the urban planning domain requires reforming the structure of this domain, and in this study, some of the most important reforms Various strategies have been explained and suggested.
