Gardens are an integral part of Iranian life and they significantly contribute to the structure and entity of Persian architecture. Since the Sumerians, the Persian garden was configured in a form that surrounded the palaces and fire temples. For Iranians, both water and tree were praiseworthy and the trees were arranged to be planted along wide water streams. Revering the water and the tree gives meaning to Persian garden. Not only is Persian garden a safe and peaceful place, but also it is a place for philosophical thinking and discussions. Persian garden is a sacred space, and therefore it is used to honor and revere a space. Tomb garden is a special type of Persian garden that is built in order to surround a tomb, or a monument in Persian style. There are different types of such gardens in Iran and many other countries that have Persian culture. Sheikh Ahmed-e Jam tomb is located in the city of Torbat-e Jam, in an 800-year old garden. Recognizing the trees and paths around this tomb indicates the existence of Persian garden plan in this place.

Urbanization is one of the consequences of the industrial revolution, which changed the development process and led to the expansion of migration to the city. One of the main results of the expansion of urbanization in recent decades is land use change in cities and their uneven growth, which has made managing urban growth one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. The present study evaluated the changes in the lands of Torbat-e Jam city during the years 2000 to 2019 and then predicts these changes until 1420 AH. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Landsat images, sensors, ETMs of 2000 and 2010 and OLI sensors of 2019 have been used to collect data in this study. After classifying the images, in order to find out the changes in the land use of Torbat-e Jam city and to predict the changes until 1420, the Markov and CA chain model has been used. The results obtained in the period of 2000, 2010 and 2019 show that the area of all land uses in the study area except barren land use has been increasing. Also, the forecast of the four floors of land cover, including urban lands, agriculture, barren and green space and gardens in the city of Tor bat-e Jam on the horizon of 1404, shows that the land use of the city will increase at the horizon of 1420, so that this land use will change by 192.13%. Agricultural land use will have a decreasing trend with 71.05% and green space and gardens with 53.32% and barren land use area will have an increasing trend change with 100.87%. Finally, with the Vision Development Index, the type of urban growth was determined. Also, according to this index, the growth type of Tor bat-e Jam city is of the edge type.
