Abstract :

With regard to social justice, the distribution of facilities and services and their features are connected with social welfare inseparably so that one can not separate them from marginal issues such as inequality of citizens and personal freedom. We should remember that even the most attractive places or the best ones regarding accessability position and life can’t provide the residents with joy and welfare, if they are exposed to the lack or weakness of accessibility to resources and facilities. The distribution of the ideal and proper services and the enjoyment of social welfare is not a new issue but it has been influenced by our past performance as the welfare of the future will be affected by our present performance This research has investigated the space distribution of public urban services within  the Kermanshah city.For this, 21 compilations have been used and the distribution of public urban services has been investigated within the 5 districts of Kermanshsh city.For determining the degree of development within the five districts of Kermanshah city the taxonomy technique was used .The result indicated that the central district of Kermanshah is the most developed urban district within this city.. In addition, GIS technique has been employed for identifying the performance radius of the public urban services; Also, the enjoying and unenjoying districts have been identified. The findings of the research indicate that the space distribution of public services within this city has been accomplished much inequitably and it requires further public services. Moreover, this investigation indicated that in relation with dwelling indicator, there is a significant relationship between the average price of lands and per capital income and rental payments . It means that , the  more the income and the rental payments within the concerned urban districts , the higher the price of lands. This factor has led to the formation of the enjoying and unenjoying districts . Finally among the successful plannings we should resort to participatory planning and apply new programming techniques for overcoming such difficulties including GIS.
