Development impact assessment is key to achieving a comprehensive planning aligned with landsustainability. In human and natural systems studies, changes can be simultaneously examined intwo different systems. The purpose of this paper is to understand the effects of dam construction onland prices and land use change in nearby villages of Taleghan Dam. Descriptive - qualitativestatistics were used in this research and library and field methods were used for collecting therequired information. In order to specify the land value of the four villages of the area of the damfor four decaes, based on the prices of the year 1390, the land vlue formula was applied. Also, TMsatellite images of 1379 and 1386 were used for pinpointing land use changes. The results of thesestudies indicate that dam construction in 1380s and 1390s increased land price significantly andchanges in land price affected upon land use changes in nearby villages of dam and the price of landin the Zydasht village overlooking the dam increased dramatically.Based on the results of thisresearch, it can be stated that the dynamics of the land use of the area was affected by land pricethat for achieving sustainability in the watershed, an effective law must be enforced to prevent landdegradation and control land prices.
