        AbstractSince one of the main pillars of development is attention to equality and justice in the distribution of resources between different sectors of society, therefore, the concentration and inappropriate distribution of facilities and services in different regions have always been considered as one of the pitfalls of development, which requires a scientific review. In this research, the main goal was to study the degree of development of the cities of East Azerbaijan province. To achieve this goal, 31 indicators of development were assessed in three categories: socio-cultural, health, and economic and infrastructure in 20 cities. The methodology of this study is to classify the provinces based on numerical mal taxonomy and cluster analysis and also, the method of collecting is documentary information. The results of this study showed that, the cities of Tabriz, Marand and Maragheh are in high ranking of development, respectively, and the cities of Khadafrien and Charaymahq are in the last positions. The results of the research show that, the development rate in the western part of the province was higher than the eastern regions, and the level of development is in relation to the distance from the center, and access to rail and road transport lines.

        One of the main goals of constant development is to establish spatial justice in order to provide the citizens with freedom, welfare, and security. This essay takes advantage of numerical taxonomy, AHP, and Topsis techniques to study challenges of Qazvin's constant development in terms of spatial justice, and it tries to answer the following question : Is it possible to distribute indices of constant development of Qazvin's urban regions spatially ? This research has been done by using an analytical – descriptive method, and all required information has been compiled based on library sources. The analysis of taxonomy shows that six districts of Qazvin have a lower rank of development and district 9 with Fi= 0/199 ranks first. It is 3.8 times more developed than district 3 with Fi =0/759. In the urban ranking of Qazvin' s districts, district 3 with Fi = 0/762 is in a better position in terms of development indices compared with districts 1 and 2. The above mentioned results show Qazvin's constant urban development's challenges from spatial justice's point of view. Manuscript profile

        Abstract One of the main stages of land use is the ecological capability of the land. Since it is impossible to limit the development of cities, they should be tailored to meet the needs of today and tomorrow, so that environmental damage can not be avoided. The purpose of this study is to assess the ecological capability of Ardabil province for urban development. . In this research, the zoning of the ecological capability of Ardabil province has been done by combining the fuzzy model and Shannon entropy, and then, using numerical taxonomy, priority has been given to environmental power in Ardabil province, in five optimal, favorable, moderate , Weak and very weak power of the region for sustainable urban development. The use of multi-criteria models, including fuzzy inference and the production of maps that are close to reality, can effectively assist in the identification of lands for the establishment and development of the city of Ardabil province. The results of this study showed that in both methods (fuzzy and taxonomic), northern parts of the province are suitable regions to the most suitable, the southern parts are inadequate, parts of the eastern parts are moderate to suitable and inappropriate western parts. According to the findings, the areas are very convenient 12.22%, suitable for 18.27%, 20.20%, inappropriate 25.13%, and very inappropriate 23.26% of the province. The results of the research can be of great help in locating the cities appropriately to prevent environmental crises and make sustainable and sustainable use of the Manuscript profile

        Assessing the level of development of communities has been a concern for regional planners in all countries. The use of quantitative criteria for the classification of settlements leads to understanding the level of inequality between residential areas and provides a measure to reduce and eliminate these inequalities. To address regional imbalances, regions need to be identified and classified based on their level of development in different areas. The aim of this research is to identify disadvantaged areas and plan for reducing intra-regional disparities to achieve balanced development. In this study, 12 indices have been selected within the framework of numerical taxonomy analysis to assess the level of development and classify the counties of Bushehr Province. The research method used in this study is descriptive-analytical. Based on this classification, Bushehr with a development coefficient of 0.01382 is the most developed city, while Jam with a coefficient of 0.724444 is identified as the most disadvantaged city in the province. The results of this research indicate a center-periphery pattern dominating the spatial structure of Bushehr Province. Manuscript profile

        Using criteria and methods of classification in ranking settlement in the spatial system of the regions, on the one hand, resulted in recognition of the amount of inequality in settlement parts and on the other hand, it is considered as a criteria to reduce and eliminate existing inequalities among them. In order to solve the problems caused by the lack of the region balance, the first step is identifying and ranking regions in terms of enjoying technology in the fields of social and economic services. In this study, by employing eight index to study developing in the framework of Analyzing Numerical Taxonomy (NTA) action was taken to ranking the degree of developing rural districts in Ardabil province. Method of this study is descriptive-Analytic. Population in the present study were all of 69 rural districts in Ardabil province. At this ranking, Kalkhoran rural district of the central part of Ardabil county and eastern Qeshlaqdasht rural district of part of Qeshlaqdasht in Bilehsavar county by developing coefficient 0.3 and also 0.96 were identified the most enjoyed and the most deprived rural districts of the province, respectively. On the basis of this research, the center-around model is governed on the spatial structure of the rural districts in Ardabil province. Manuscript profile

        Lack of resources and facilities in urban areas makes essential the efficiency assessment of areas. So, resources should be allocated in such a way that most services can be offered through existing resources. To identify the development or underdevelopment of areas, it is necessary to study inequalities patterns and differences between them, and also, studying the degree of superiority of one place compared to the structure of similar locations in the city. The recognition  of the existing differences among different areas in the city in terms of enjoyment of various indicators, in order to be aware of the development or deprivation levels, reduce regional disparities and set programs in accordance with the conditions and facilities of each area is an unavoidable necessity. In this study, attention has been paid to determining and ranking the degree of development of  urban areas in Rasht based on 63 indicators in five educational, health care, socio-cultural, economic-commercial, and urban civil installations. To achieve the objectives of the study, the Numerical Taxonomy model, Morris Model and TOPSIS model have been used. By applying these models and analysis, each of the five areas of Rasht city, the ranking and the level of development of each area has been determined separately. The results of the study show that more facilities and services have been focused on the city center. Therefore, inequality in five areas is observed with significant difference. As such, in analyzing all three models, areas one and two have more favorable situation, but area five is of the most deprived regions. In fact, the farther the areas are from the center of the city, the lower facilities and services they will receive. This is the result of polar policies growth, as a result of which, all of the facilities and power are concentrated on one or more areas, and other areas act as marginal. Due to the nature and the difference in method of ranking the indexes, degree of development of study areas in each model is different from the other model. In order to achieve the same result in the assessment of development areas, percentage of changes, intensity of changes, and coefficient of variation were calculated and the results were extracted based on the divided indicators. - Manuscript profile

        The need for sustainable development is to have regional justice in development. The imbalance in the regional justice will be an obstacle to sustainable development in long term. Understanding the development of regions is the first step to eliminate the regional disparities. In the present study two periods 1390 and 1375 has been chosen to assess the level of developments of provinces. According to the research literature and access to data and information, various educational and cultural, housing and infrastructural, demographic and sanitary indicators has been selected, due to the each indicator, the necessary adjustments has been made. To determine the degree of the developments of Iran’s provinces, two methods of taxonomy and TOPSIS has been used. The obtained results show that despite the reduction in the standard deviation and range of the provincial development index, there are some regional disparities in Iran yet and center-periphery test pattern is confirmed for both periods. Due to the Potential differences in different regions, applying the same program for all areas is not possible. Accordingly it is recommended that in the context of national development plans, regional plans with a focus on regional capacities must be done So that sustainable development be achieved for all areas.
