City and Spatial Justice; An Analysis of the Distribution of Sustainable Development Indicators in Shiraz

The expansion of urbanization and the specific issues and problems of urban life have made it increasingly necessary to pay full attention to beneficial strategies for optimizing the lives of urban residents. In this regard, the concept of sustainable urban development as a broad conceptual framework moves towards achieving economic growth and social justice. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the development of Shiraz in terms of criteria for sustainable urban development "environmental, health, urban and cultural services" in the form of 36 indicators. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of nature and method. For analysis, first the data were standardized and finally, using the Morris method, the eleven districts of Shiraz were ranked. The results of the research based on Morris method showed that in terms of the studied indicators, zones one and eight with scores of 49.38 and 39.57 are in the first and second ranks and regions four and eleven with scores of 17.86 and 10.39 are in the last place. Also, based on the results, it was determined that none of the areas are in very good conditions. The results of this study indicate the existence of a gap between the eleven regions of Shiraz in terms of benefiting from the studied indicators, and among these, region one is ranked first in terms of development due to its political and economic centrality due to the existence of urban facilities.
