Abstract :

In development planning at the regional level to identify and understand the differences between regions in terms of their enjoyment of economic and social facilities and infrastructure is an inevitable necessity. According to the topics proposed, the present study is a descriptive- analytic method it seeks In addition to determine developing degrees of Kermanshah province counties with respect to various factors using HDI and Morris index and The index compares the two and finally an analysis of the demographic development in the province using Pearson's test. Calculation results have led to maps using ArcGIS for better spatial analysis of development. Community of research includes 14 administrative units of Kermanshah province. 55 variables which have been used in this research, consists of the majority aspects of development of units. The results indicate that the counties in terms of development in good condition to do not, because the level of any county in Cluster I and II (Is not a very high development and high), and also, comparing 2 research indexes indicate that Morris indexes show the status of development of the counties better. So, this index is preferable to the HDI index and analyzes the demographic situation of development indicate a positive correlation between the percentage of urbanization and the development level of the counties.
