Analysis of the Spatial Distribution of Population and Distribution Services in the Metropolitan Areas of Ahvaz

One of the most important consequences of the rapid growth of urbanization and physical development of the cities in the recent decades is the disintegration of distribution system of centers of urban service which facilitates the social inequality of citizens for using such services. The main objective of this study is the review and analysis of population dispersion and services distribution in Ahvaz metropolitan. The recent study is of an applied one and from the method point of view is a combination of analytical- descriptive methods and library and documentary method has been used for gatherign data. The seventh Ahvaz districts have been selected as the geographical units in measuring the space justic and 14 determinant indices of public services for attainment of such objective.

The obained correlation coefficient (0.471) indicates this fact that there is a weak relation between the population dispersion and services distribution. while, the obtained correlation coefficient from Pearson test (0.810) shows that distribution of services has a direct and strong relation with the area.
