Abstract :

The use of quantitative methods and mathematical models is inevitable to facilitate understanding the intricacies of issues and problem the areas, due to component-oriented attitude to issues. Since the regional planning requires understanding of different areas position to each other in terms of development, the aim of this study is using the component-oriented approach to evaluate the development of Ardabil townships. There are many indicators to measure the situation of development of regions. Each of these indicators are valuable and important that are used with respect to the objectives and methods. This study takes action to measure the development condition and comparative comparison of the parameters of different parts of development in townships of Ardebil province uses 60 indicators (in sectors health, infrastructure, cultural and economic). The research method is descriptive - analytical that is used Multi-attribute technique to data analysis. In accordance with the overall results achieved, the development condition of the townships of Ardabil province is unbalanced and this situation is evident in various development sectors (health, infrastructural, cultural and economic).
