Spatial Analysis and Determine the Level of rural development in the Province of Khuzestan Using Multiple Attribute Decision Making Compensation Method and Integrated Collection

If researchers and academics, believe that the discussions of urban development and rural development be done as separated from each? Answer such questions can be found in the form of regional development strategies. Therefore, strategies and policies for regional development have an important role in boosting economic activity and the development of deprived areas followed by, reduce differences between regions. Regional allocation of public facilities and funds can be a step forward to achieve balanced development and reducing regional inequalities; otherwise, the continuation of existing trends by focusing economic development in developed areas will lead to divergence and dissonance in national development. In general, regional development is following the creation of conditions and framework conditions suitable for continuous improvement of living standards, reduce unemployment; diversify economic activity, increased investment in the private and public sectors, increased economic prosperity, as a result, social and economic sustainable development. Considering this important, economic growth only goal of the strategy of regional development, but rather, justice, poverty elimination, economic sustainability, are the objectives of the strategy. Much research has been done regarding the assessment of regional disparities in global and national level; however, with the increasing number of case studies from developing countries, are increased reports of failure of the sustainable development approach for the achieve environmental, economic and the ideal community. In rural communities, there are issues and problems, resources and facilities, needs and priorities of their own. For this reason, in the context of national development planning its necessary the village, regarded as a special and specific section. In relation to country Iran, although the managers and decision makers periodically issues have been raised, such as rural planning, rural management, a fair distribution of resources, poverty elimination and much, but seriously has been done, focus for problem solving, because despite the different organizations trustee in the affairs of village can be seen a lot of inequality in rural areas country this matter is holding back at the expense of other areas and increase the gap between regions. So to be determined weaknesses of each of the townships from the different indicators of development at the provincial level. It would be a good base determine for distribution services considered for local managers and the needs of the regions on a comparative assessment and by taking advantage of view of spatial planning was paid to the spatial development each of the townships the maximum optimal use of resources. In this context, to meet the situation township of the province was selected about 76 variables in the form of 8 indicators, using multiple attribute decision making compensation method and integrated collection have been the degree of development of the province. This study has been done in terms of goal setting as a functional study and in terms of methodology descriptive, analytical method. In order to achieve the research objectives initially classified rural development indicators nine indicator variable 76 and information about them is collected statistical yearbook 1391 of Khuzestan governor general and additional information from the department of development and planning province and then using multiple attribute decision making compensation method such as: Topsis, Electre, Vikor, Promethee was paid to determine the level township of the province, based on the rate indicators for rural development In the form of Excel software; then for achieve the one result used of integrated collection such as: Aggregate, Borda, Copeland and Post. Eventually, for spatial representation of rural development levels, combined, layer townships of province Khuzestan, with indicators weights in ArcGIS10.4.1, and layers valued and well as the formed overlapped the layers. From the integration of different sectors of development indicators with shared overlap function, 27 township of Khuzestan province were grouped into five levels. The first group is includes the townships of Izeh, Dezful and Shoosh, the second group of the townships of Baghmalek, Behbehan, Shooshtar Ahvaz, Ramhormuz and Shadegan, group three the townships of Andika, Andymeshk, Abadan, Dashte Azadegan, Karoon, Bandar Mahshahr and Bavi, group four the townships of Ramshir, Khorramshahr, Lali, Omidiyeh, Hamidieh, Gotvand and group also includes the townships of Masjed Soleiman, Hendijan, Hoveize, Haftgel and Aghajari. Spatial distinguishing between different parts of the province in force remains and most measures of development concentrated in the center, north and east provinces; so that areas benefiting includes first and second levels located mainly in the north and east provinces and deprived areas included four and five levels located in the south and west. In this study, we tried to achieve balanced development of rural areas among the township of Khuzestan province, to be determined the distribution of rural development levels between township and their position relative to each other. The geographical distribution of rural development measures, proof the existence of spatial mismatch between cities in Khuzestan province this mismatch is significant at the provincial level in terms indices studied of population issues of health, education, culture, politics, services, communications and infrastructure. Most measures of development is concentrated in northern central and western parts Khuzestan province; so were the three areas on the first level and very convenient condition, six township on the second level and convenient, seven districts in the third and moderately suitable, six districts in the fourth and inappropriate and five areas in the fifth and in very bad condition and in a sense the warning position. A closer look at the results of the study could be detected separate three areas in Khuzestan province, from other township have abandoned their and continue their rapid grow and develop, located one in the west province (Izeh) and two township in northern province (Dezful and Shoosh). In general, the township, the ranking obtained, earns high ratings and this result of having potential environmental powers as well as long term policies implemented in this field, which is caused development of these areas. Deprived areas which cover five township (Aghajari, Haftgel, Hoveize, Hendijan and Masjed Soleiman), in most criteria of the study were accounted to the lowest level of development.
