Abstract

The most important goal of urban planning is to increase the quality of life for citizens. One of the important indicators to reach this goal is the proper access of citizens to city services. Planners use the distributive justice of urban services to balance access to urban services. It is believed that with a balanced distribution of urban services, access will be favorable for all residents. For this purpose, this research seeks to test the effect of distributive justice on proper access to urban services. The research method is descriptive-analytical in terms of practical purpose, and library and field methods were used to collect information. GIS and GeoDa software have been used for data analysis. The preliminary results show that there is inequality in the distribution of urban services and access to urban services at the level of Urmia localities; the central localities have a more favorable situation than the peripheral localities. The sum of distributive justice and access also shows that 46% of the localities are in a favorable and completely favorable condition, 31% of the localities are in an unfavorable and completely unfavorable condition, and 22% are in an average condition. Weighted geographic regression was used to test the assumption of the effect of the distribution of services on access, and the results showed that 71% of the optimal access to urban services is explained by the distribution of urban services. These results show that distributive justice has a great impact on citizens' access to city services
