Abstract
This research aims to study the degree of realization of land uses as recommended in "Tabriz Detailed Plan 2012" and its current situation in Tabriz. Also, it intends to identify the factors affecting the functional changes of land uses at "Abrasan -Mansour", "17Shahrivar Jadid St.", "Hafez-Abu Reyhan", and "Abu Reyhan-Nesferah" corridors.

This research is an applied research that has resorted to a descriptive-analytical method. Excel and ArcMap were used for data pre-processing. The compliance and non-compliance of land uses were investigated based on the data obtained from the survey and the detailed plan map. The cross-tabulation was used in TerrSet to detect changes in land use patterns in the current state compared to the detailed plan. Then, the realization between Tabriz Detailed Plan 2012 and the current state was investigated using the chi-square test in SPSS software. Also, the legislation factors influencing the functional changes of land uses were considered.

The results showed that the rate of realization of the detailed plan’s recommended land uses in the studied areas is at a low level. Also, there is a high degree of discrepancy between the function and land use. In the legislation factors, paragraph 24 of Article 55 of the Law on Municipalities, Article 100, and Article 5 Commissions have played the most significant role in the functional changes of land uses, respectively.
