Abstract (496 Views)
Aims: The present article aims to identify the key factors in the physical development of cities with a focus on spatial justice in Yasuj City.
Methodology: The current research was practical in terms of its purpose and was compiled in the study area of Yasouj City in 2024. The statistical population was selected from urban planning experts and specialists including 20 people who were selected and questioned using targeted and selective sampling. Using Cochran's formula, sample size was calculated to be 383 who were questioned in a random-simple and accessible way. In order to analyze the results of the questionnaire, confirmatory factor analysis test and Dimetal technique were used.
Findings: In terms of parameters related to spatial justice, the parameter of emphasis on the development of affordable public transportation with a score of 5.15 was the most influential, and the parameter of redistribution of income and material and non-material resources (2.9) were less influential. Also, the factors of urban society for everyone and inclusive development and equal culture were the least to the most influential factors, respectively.
Conclusion: Indicators such as income redistribution and material and non-material resources, support for disadvantaged groups in society, emphasis on differences and their recognition, fair ownership, cultural-social diversity and pluralism, and social-cultural interactions and exchanges. It leads to desirable physical-spatial development and non-realization of spatial justice.
