The research is descriptive-analytical in terms of method and practical in terms of purpose. Raw data related to the Social Security Index have been extracted from the Statistical Yearbook (1394) of the Statistics Center of Iran. Social security indicators were evaluated with the help of 12 experts by hierarchical analysis (AHP) method and then prioritized using Expert Choice software and finally the results were shown spatially and in the form of a map in Arc GIS software. The results show that Qazvin, Kurdistan and Alborz provinces have the highest level of social security, respectively, while Semnan, Qom and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces have the lowest level of social security. This result indicates that the level of social security indicators in different provinces of the country is different, which can be a good guide for more appropriate planning for managers and decision makers to improve the level of social security and reduce the level of social harm indicators.
