Informal settlement is influenced by unequal global political-economic relationship,
weakness of national programs in middle level and urban planning in micro level. Ever increasing expansion
of the phenomena leads to the emergence, development index pansion of conflict in the urban soul and
body, and creates abnormal biological conditions with dissimilar development indicators that not only
questions equitable allocation of resources and services in line with social justice, but challenges sustainable
development of urban life. However, any urban planning and designing considers comprehensive contentphysical,
scientific –practical understanding of urban systems, subsystems and outreach systems in relativist
position of space and time; therefore, it is necessary to understand neighborhood and informal settlements
based on different physical, business, economic, social, cultural, and infrastructure indicators. In this regard,
development method of Morris is used. To investigate neighborhood development, physical, economic,
social and infrastructural characteristics of all neighborhoods in Bonab city are studied. Results of the study

neighborhoods in Bonab city that lead to inequitable distribution of services and resources. Finally, based on
results of Morris development model and neighborhood classification, suggestions and priorities of
neighborhood-oriented urban planning and informal settlement organizing are presented
