Abstract :

One of the main goals of constant development is to establish spatial justice in order to provide the citizens with freedom, welfare, and security. This essay takes advantage of numerical taxonomy, AHP, and Topsis techniques to study challenges of Qazvin's constant development in terms of spatial justice, and it tries to answer the following question : Is it possible to distribute indices of constant development of Qazvin's urban regions spatially ? This research has been done by using an analytical – descriptive method, and all required information has been compiled based on library sources. The analysis of taxonomy shows that six districts of Qazvin have a lower rank of development and district 9 with Fi= 0/199 ranks first. It is 3.8 times more developed than district 3 with Fi =0/759. In the urban ranking of Qazvin' s districts, district 3 with Fi = 0/762 is in a better position in terms of development indices compared with districts 1 and 2. The above mentioned results show Qazvin's constant urban development's challenges from spatial justice's point of view.
