In assessment of the success of a plan, the most important parameter is the extent of the coverage of the “target group”. But this is bound to the correct definition of the “target group” and their classification according to the particularities that distinguishes them from each other. The requirement of the Housing Planning to attain a specific and clear definition of the “Target Group” is due to the requirement to arrange the optimum program and implementation programs to respond their needs suitable to their demands, a point in which it seems to be assessed unsuccessful in the planning period (1327-1383) In this article, we consider the change in the demographic structure of the country’s population. This work investigates the extent of agreement of Housing Planning on this change, to give a precise definition of the Target Group. It also attends to the amount of accordance of the Housing Planning with the structural changes in the population and family structure in this six decades The results of our reseach shows, despite increasing number of youth in our population, they are not considered in our planning system's definition about "Target group". Hence in our Housing Market, youth's demand for shelter gould not be included.
