Abstract

Today, important parts of cities with capitalist intentions are used for large-scale projects. Many people are affected by these plans. The consequences of land acquisition in many development projects have led to widespread dissatisfaction among the residents of the areas in the project. This factor has weakened the rights of residents and caused many material and identity losses and has created many problems for the community. Therefore, it is necessary to study this issue from the perspective of the religion of Islam. In this study, while studying scientific sources and religious texts, under the concept of the Iranian-Islamic city, three jurisprudential dimensions, citizenship and moral rights, are examined. The main question of the research is “What is the position of jurisprudential and moral principles and its rules with emphasis on the concept of ownership in urban development projects?” The results showed that the rules of domination, harm and expediency is one of the most important jurisprudential principles that must be observed in Islamic urban planning in Iran in order to maintain and strengthen the family foundation, property stability, and respect for citizens. In this regard, the concepts of Islamic urban planning should be included as a necessity in the laws related to the city. Lack of updating of a number of laws of the country and incorrect interpretation of the collective interest in large-scale projects, which are mostly prepared and implemented with economic intentions and political lusts, are among the reasons for problems in the field of land acquisition.
