Results: The research conclusions show that Meybod town has the best quality with score:1 and Yazd town has the worst condition with score:0.431 in citizenship security. Northwest and south from  yazd are rather balanced in security sense and central districts of Yazd (Taft and Bafgh) have the less density than other places
