This means that the status of the studied indicators is unfavorable for experts in the areas of Yazd. In Spearman correlation, the relationship between education variable and knowledge and economic index is significant and positive, and the relationship between education variable and social-legal index is significant and negative. In Friedman test, area 7 has the highest average in the knowledge and economic index and area 6 has the lowest average in the knowledge and social-legal index. Area 2 also has the highest average in the social-legal index and area 5 has the lowest average in the economic index.

Therefore, each urban area has its own characteristics according to its type of operation. This prioritization shows the fact that in the programs that are done to raise the indicators of the learning city in Yazd city, the priority is with areas 5 and 6 because these areas have a lower status and the necessary measures should be taken in these areas.
