Spss and GIS is used for the maps. The results show that the combination of environmental-ecological structures (topography, water resources, soil, etc.) and man-made (services, roads, etc.) have led to the formation of different areas and the consequence of the formation of spatial inequality In the study area, the inadequacy of the role of cities and central villages in providing services to the surrounding settlements and the lack of a complementary role and the formation of rural-urban relationships and connections have been studied in the study area and urban areas cradle and cradle due to Having resources and credits, have been introduced as pole centers and in other words upstream points and are considered as key centers in Dalahu district.
