Investigating the Effect of Municipality Article commission of 100 Decisions in Controlling Construction Violations (Case Study: the Third Area of Khorramabad Municipality)

Municipality-article commission of 100 is one of the specific institutions and judicial branches that have been set up with the purpose of preventing construction violations. The municipality with its officers can prevent the construction of buildings that do not have a permit or those constructed against the content of the permit, whether the building is located on a surrounded land or on a not-surrounded land. According to investigations, however, in the last two decades construction violations have had an increasing rate every year, the most important causes of which could be: the inconsistency of criteria with the real life, the weakness of control and monitoring systems, vague and unclear rules, the attitude of municipalities to penalties as a source of income, etc. This study tries to investigate the role of Khorramabad's municipality article commission of 100 verdicts in controlling and preventing construction violations. Studying the construction violations that were investigated in the period of 2006-2010 showed that there were considered in the municipality-article commission of 100, about 6460 violation cases where construction violations have occurred more and more from year to year. Also, a larger number of the commission decisions are in regard to the issuance of penalty verdicts, which is another evidence of the unsuccessfulness of the commission of this municipality in controlling construction violations.
