Exploratory analysis of spatial data of daily trips in rural areas Case: villages around metropolitan regions

Spatial integration of settlements around metropolitan areas with central cities and urban transport development has created a phenomenon as day trips. This phenomenon in cities and villages around metropolitan areas and due to the economic and social structures of can be seen with differences. In our country official statistics of this population since have not been released، but the 1385 census was the first attempt to study this population. In this study، we try to consider the location and spatial distribution of the phenomenon is known around the metropolises of the country with usage of extraction analysis and spatial statistics. Based on the research findings، this phenomenon exists in all metropolises of the country، but in terms of spatial distribution، the big cities are different. Based on the spatial analysis performed in the metropolises of Isfahan، Tehran and Shiraz، this phenomenon from spatial perspective is cluster that represents spatial heterogeneity in the metropolitans، So that the highest values are found in the vicinity of metropolitans. The data contained in the Tabriz metropolitan area has an irregular distribution، hence، this phenomenon is not at the level of the Metropolitan scattered and not as a cluster has a specific place.
