Abstract :
One of the most controversial issues, especially in developing societies, is culture and its development. Development as a multidimensional process, is an effort to improve the material and spiritual life of human beings, and culture, is considered as the foundation of the intellectual and epistemological life of the society. The interrelationships of the two enable the growth of human abilities. Cultural development is considered as the foundation of sustainable development. Therefore, urban development will be dynamic when it is closely related to cultural development and in fact an integral part of it. The purpose of this article is to investigate how the four regions of Urmia enjoy cultural terms in order to achieve regional inequalities. According to the studied components, the approach of this research is "descriptive-quantitative and analytical". The statistical population of the study includes the four regions of Urmia, which were used to analyze the research data using ANOVA, Independent- samples T test, Tukey HSD and Gama fuzzy operator in the ArcGIS software. The results show that the districts 3 and 4 in Urmia with means of 38/24 and 8.24 as well as options are better developed than other districts. Also zone 1 and 2 are known as backward regions in terms of cultural development with means of 21/46 and 22/47. Of course, this applies to the operator for more details on Gama 0/7, which all indicate the existence of regional inequalities in Urmia.
