Analysis of Spatial - Physical Pattern of Aq-Qala City in Golestan Province

Understanding the pattern of spatial development of cities and countries such as the town of Aq-Qala in Golestan province, to formulate appropriate policies and achieving sustainable development is essential. Therefore, the knowledge accumulation and distribution and concentration of population in them are essential. Hence, using spatial- statistical methods this study analyze the spatial development pattern of Aq-Qala. To test the hypothesis different spatial statistical methods such as cluster analysis, factor Moran , Gary , G General , was used to analyse hot spots. Data was gathered by library method and using the city's blocking statistics. The calculated results of the degree of agglomeration through Moran coefficient and Gary show a random pattern tend to scattering. In addition, general G index shows low population density and activities. Overall, it was determined that population and employment distribution pattern of randomly oriented in the town of Aq-Qala is scattered with low concentration.
