Development measure of Irans provinces from the view point of having social-economic indexes

摘要

If we consider development as a relative affair, attempting to reach development is a definite one. Improvement and development are the primary goals of each organization, system and even each family and person. One goal of programmers and politicians is to accurately allocate and distribute facilities among areas. Another goal is to prepare and compile a suitable pattern to reach social and economic justice and to make actual and reasonable economic growth. One of the important principles emphasized by The Islamic Republic of Iran is development along with social justice and respecting the rights and values of people. To reach this important affair, drawing the economic, social and cultural features of each area using the existent information and statistics are important. Therefore, recognizing the present situation, studying the socio-economic conditions and moving towards desired situations are a vital affair. In this article, the development measure of Iran’s provinces is calculated by the method of fuzzy decision making theory for the year 2007. Furthermore, due to complications of development indexes, the social-economic indexes are used in this calculation. Results show that although Iran’s provinces are more homogenous from the view point of development indexes, the interval among provinces is high and there is no meaningful relation among the interval differences of the provinces.
