Municipalities are responsible for the application of land subdivision according to detailed urban plans except a voluntary basis through agreements according to civil law. But there is lack of sufficient research related to realizing of subdivision in urban spaces throughout the Turkey. The purpose of this paper is to determine whether there is a difference in realizing of subdivision according to detailed planning decisions between urban areas in different population groups.

For this research, a sample survey method is used and 480 questionnaires are completed by Planning Office of the Municipalities of urban areas in different population groups. In this model the realizing of subdivision index (RSI) are used as a dependent variable and population, population growth ate, global density in urban areas according to detailed plans, Municipal budgets, socio-economic index, the average of land values of cities. Multiple Regression Model is utilized for each city groups and comparison tables.
