Abstract
The explanation of the results of "Spatial plans" as a product of spatial planning in relation to "Settlements sustainability " as a product of sustainable development in "less developed regions" is a serious problem. This is important in theoretical and scientific fields with through new approaches. Considering the simplicity of the sustainability, in this research, the focus of economics with RBM approach is considered. The main goal is quality of settlements sustainability feasibility by emphasizing economic growth and sustainable employment through provincial spatial plans in less developed regions. The research design is a sequential combination (explanatory-exploratory); And the combined qualitative-quantitative-qualitative method will be done in two phases; In the first phase, with a document review of previous researches, the pillars and factors of the settlements sustainability were extracted. In the next phase, the validity of the pillars and factors as well as their interrelationship; and their content and practical reflection in the documents of the provinces spatial plans of the less developed regions selected for the research (four provinces of Sistan and Baluchistan, Kerman, Ilam and Khuzestan) through semi-structured interviews with experts via the summative content analysis was analyzed. The results show a justified correspondence between the spatial levels and the settlements sustainability factors, with the nature of the three levels of output, outcome and effect. As the spatial level of the settlements increases, the penetration of the results of the development plans decreases over time, and tends from "effect" to "output".
