The land is the ground for human activity and a place to meet all the resources needed by man. In other words, the geography of consumption plays a vital role in the development or non-development of modern cities. The current study is applied research in terms of the objective and descriptive-analytical in terms of the nature and method. The data collection has been performed using documentary-based and library-based methods and interviews with the experts and the citizens’ questionnaire (۳۸۴ samples). The samples have been selected using snowball and random sampling methods. The mean land-use indicators have been investigated by the T-test in the SPSS. The findings indicate that among the components effective on the land consumption in Ousahn, Fasham, and Meigoun, the proximity with Tehran metropolis, water resources, and access to tourist attractions have been most effective with mean values of ۸.۴۲, ۸.۳۴, and ۸.۲۶, respectively. Also, among the indicators effective on the land consumption in Oushan, Fasham, and Meigoun, the economic policies of the government, accessibility, and climate have been the most effective with mean values of ۷.۸۴, ۷.۷۵, and ۷.۴۱, respectively. The results indicated that the changes in land-use patterns in Oushan, Fasham, and Meigoun could be explained in five periods. These changes are more affected by the urban land consumption, natural factors, and infrastructural developments, especially in terms of accessibility, i.e., proximity with the Tehran metropolis, more than the increase in urban population. The ۲۰۰۰s have been the initiation point of the huge evolution in the area of land in the region. In this decade, with the initiation of construction of the second home for the tourists, the way for mass land consumption in the cities was paved, which was followed by the increase in inflation and the land prices.
