English abstract:
Our view of industrial areas is closer to modern biology than it is to either the visual arts or classical economics, which have both influenced the study of cities and their land-use planning so profoundly over the last century. This research will emerge a deeper sense of haow the morphology of industrial districts should be understood in terms of their form and process, scale and shape, their statics and dynamics. This will enable us to map out our approach, which builds our understanding of irregular industrial district forms...
...Environmental condition of industrial district in developing countries is in perpetual change, which leads to the failure of the classical modernisation method in achieving their goals. Therefore, the need for dynamical and flexible system is very urgent in such conditions. The fractal modernisation method of industrial areas' environment in D.Cs, which created by this research is characterised by flexible urban modernisation system, hyerarchical metamorphosis, information network and dynamical promotional system. As well as, featured by perpetual repetition of planning process on time by self-organisational structures. Those features give this method it's durability and capability to meet the actual and futuristic needs of randomly dynamical industrial districts of developing countries.
