Abstract

Objective: Today, spatial analysis techniques in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used in many researches in the social, economic, environmental and physical sciences. The ability to integrated levels analysis and the possibility of combining different layers of information is the advantages of using these techniques. The purpose of this research is to spatial analysis of the physical development planning pattern in cities of Markazi province using spatial analysis techniques.
Methods: The present paper is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive - analytical in terms of method. In this study, all enactments of Markazi Province infrastructure and urban planning committee between 2011 and 2017 were gathered. In order to analyze the spatial distribution of these enactments in the cities of Markazi province, the geographic information system spatial analysis has been used. In this research, three methods of Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN), High/Low Clustering (HLC) and Spatial Autocorrelation (SA) in statistical spatial analysis and Kernel Density (KD) estimation method were used to spatial show of the phenomena in continuous levels.
Results:The results of this study indicate that the distribution of enactments at the provincial level has been clustered, which has led to the polarization pattern of the populous cities. Consequently, there has been a spatial focus and an increase in regional imbalances.
Conclusion: Ignoring regional capacity and the role of environmental factors in the planning is one of the most prominent results of spatial analysis of the enactments of Markazi Province infrastructure and urban planning committee in the current decade. Therefore, by creating a geospatial database at the provincial level and updating and monitoring it continuously and analyzing the development policies in the cities level appropriate to regional and ecological capability, one can step towards sustainable regional development.
