Analyzing Development Level of Alborz Province Counties Using Combinatorial Method

Nowadays, development is one of issues that have been important among geographers recently. Whereas public services stablish economic, social, cultural, physical and spatial form and nature of regions, thus inequity in their distribution and dispersion manner creates irreparable effect for regions structure and form, and appearance cause of types of development levels, and creates advantages for some regions. This reaearch aims analyzing development level of Alborz provinces counties. Thus, research method is comparative- analytical method, research type is practical, and data gathering is library way. Therefore Alborz counties have been categorized in having services aspect after nominating indicators (43 indicators) in 4 dimensions using TOPSIS, SAW, WASPAS, and Combinatorial (scores median) models, then plans priorities have been characterized according to public services dispersion for every county. Research findings show that Karaj, Sawojbolagh and Nazar Abad counties have the least development level, and Eshtehard and Taleghan have the highest development level (by scores 1 and 2) in public services distribution aspect. Result of pearson correlation analysis shows that there is a logical relationship between population (as the most important factor in developing sercices) and sercices dispersion.
