An Analysis of the Spatial Differences of Patterns of Residence and Activity in Borde and non-border areas in Iran

Border communities are currently under pressure from global change. This pressure is both inland and out of land, The border regions of Iran are part of the national territorial arena which, due to their geographical location, have distinct conditions in terms of development indicators. These areas, although in a sustainable systemic attitude, should complement inland failures, but because of the conflicts and disruption they pose a growing threat to the security and integrity of the land. Accordingly, the issue of this study is how the spatial structure of residence and activity in frontier and inland areas is based on development indicators and what pattern does it follow? Based on the research problem, the research method is descriptive-analytical. In the description section, relying on statistical sources, it describes a few quantities, and then in the analysis section, it mainly classifies secondary analysis using the status quo matrix using multi-criteria decision-making techniques. Key development indicators and indicators are also defined for each zone. The results show that the study areas have many descriptive differences in indices and indicators. The pattern of development in Iran starts from the Caspian coastal border region as a center of development. It then heads northwest and northeast. Then through the central part of Iran, it connects to the center of development of the southern border of the country. Underdeveloped centers are also located on both sides of central Iran. The eastern, western and southeastern border regions of Iran have not been developed.
