.Applying spatial justice, this paper tries to probe deeply into the true nature of objectified culture in Arak. Our ultimate goals are to recognize the position and role of culture in urban planning systems, and also understand the attribution and distribution of cultural applications as the platform for the formation of cultural activities. It also tries to determine the conformity of these spaces with cultural needs and eligibility of citizens. To do so, quantitative and qualitative data are collected and analyzed simultaneously. A survey is conducted to collect quantitative data pertaining to the amount and type of cultural demands and eligibility. Moreover, the sampling methods is PPS. Secondary analysis is used to gather information about the distribution of cultural land use in Arak and GIS software is applied to localize the obtained data. According to the results, the patterns of spatial distribution of culture in the examined areas of Arak are problematic, inefficient and unjust. Additionally, the distribution of cultural facilities in urban areas is limited, inefficient and unequal. Also, there is no significant relationship between public interests and the cultural needs and eligibility of citizens in the urban areas studied
