تحلیل نابرابری فضایی در برخورداری از کاربری های خدمات شهری؛ نمونة موردی: شهر یزد

One of the main concerns of city planners and managers is how to distribute and allocate resources, and provide urban services fairly in different parts of the city according to the needs of the urban community. The lack of optimal distribution of services between different regions and areas of the city, provides for the emergence of problems aroused by injustices and socio-economic inequalities. This paper aims to investigate and determine the allocation and concentration of resources and urban services; emphasizing on spatial inequality approach in different regions of Yazd. The research method was descriptive-correlative, using library methods for data collection, and utilizing statistical techniques and Williamson's utility models, Shannon Entropy, Topsis, LQ Factor, and Spearman-Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Results indicate unequal distribution of a number of urban facilities and services among different regions of the city. Finally, the way of urban-services spatial distribution indicates the tendency of urban land uses, to focus and polarity in some parts of the city; while there is also no relationship between the services and population-density of the regions. Findings show that this relationship has been existed in the past. Finally, in order to increase spatial inequality in differen regions of Yazd, the priority of suggested land uses was determined, using local-coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
