Spatial Dispersion of Urban Development Indices Using Composite Relative Detection Technique in Urban Settlements of Golestan Province

Recognition of inequalities and imbalances can be made within the framework of different spatial-geographical boundaries. And the need to take steps in this direction is to identify the status of each of the components of planning, including country, province, state and city, and as a result of finding differences and existing differences and policies aimed at eliminating inequalities in each of the spaces, Because space is a fundamental dimension in human society and social justice is flown in space and justice and injustice are emerging in space. With this interpretation, the aim of this paper is to determine the distribution of urban services in cities and, in other words, the degree of development and the extent of regional inequalities in the urban areas of Golestan Province. The research method is descriptive-analytic and uses statistical and quantitative models. In order to determine the level of accessibility of urban areas of Golestan province, using statistics and census data of 1394, utilities of urban services were used. And its results are evaluated using the composite partial recognition model (KOPRAS). Data were analyzed using Excel, SPSS and also ArcGIS 9.3 software for drawing maps. The result of this research shows that urban amenities and services in urban areas of Golestan have not been distributed in a harmonious and fair manner. The cities of Gorgan and Sangdvīn are respectively the most developed with development coefficient (100) and the most deprived with development coefficient (234.074) in the cities of Golestan province.
