Backgrounds and Objectives: The pattern of balanced development of the city depends on measuring the spatial balance of the city's resources, facilities and the way the population settles in its areas and localities. Also, the balanced development of every city requires a fair approach towards the efficiency of financial resources and the distribution of economic, social and cultural services, which aims to improve the life quality of the citizens. The current research was conducted with the aim of investigating the balanced development of Amol city with the approach of spatial justice.Material and Methodology: The research method is descriptive-analytical. In order to analyze the research data in the geographic information system (GIS) environment. At first, the spatial distribution pattern of the facilities was investigated with statistical and graphical methods in Amol city using GIS software. Then the geographical distribution was investigated. In the next step, by using the information layers of the city and the pair decision-making method, the effective physical indicators in the distribution of facilities have been examined. A survey and interview were conducted with 42 experts in 22 neighborhoods of Amol city during 2020-2021 to determine the superiority functions and weighting of indicators and finally their ranking using AHP model.Findings: The findings of different analyzes indicate the concentration of facilities and services in the city center and in its primary context.Disscotion & Conclusion: Analyzes such as kernel density analysis, kriging, and hot spots determined that the distribution of facilities and services in Amol city tends to the center, and the nearest neighbor analysis also showed a clustered situation for the distribution of facilities and services.
