It is obvious that urbanization has positive effects for countries development. The growth of cities and towns is considered as one of the process of development. Since cities are place of civilization, generating economic development and social, cultural, spiritual and scientific advancements, they are assumed as center of opportunities. These opportunities include: advantages of employment, access to urban services, commerce, transportation and schools and health services. However, uncontrolled urbanization in most developing countries negatively affects the natural environment and livelihoods of peri-urban areas. Urban development determine changes regarding the organization of places, economic and social changes, but these effects exceed the territorial barriers and generate a broad impactparticularly for the surrounding rural communities. Urban expansion is derived from two factors. One is the rise of investment and economic development that leads peri- urban areas to be given for factories, constructions or other investment sectors. The second factor for urban expansion is population growth of the urban places which may rise from natural growth and rural to urban migration.
