Abstract
Inequality in the development of different geographical areas is one of the major issues facing regional and district planners. Therefore, one of the common indicators in regional planning is the leveling of different geographical areas based on having sustainable development indicators. In the current research, an attempt has been made to investigate sustainable development indicators in mountainous and non-mountainous cities of Isfahan province by using factor analysis technique. The approach of the research was of quantitative-analytical type and the examined indicators were 53 cases. The result of using factor analysis was to reduce 53 research indicators to 6 final factors. According to the extracted points, the composite index of each city has been calculated. According to the composite index of each of the cities, the ranking of the cities of Isfahan province has been done in four levels. The findings of the research show that the cities of Isfahan, Kashan and Flowerjan have a very good level; The cities of Shahin Shahr and Mimeh, Ardestan, Shahreza, Khomeini Shahr, Semiram, Najaf Abad, Lanjan, Feridan, Mubarakeh, Aran and Bidgol, Feridunshahr and Chadegan are at a high level; The cities of Golpaygan, Tiran, Koron, and Khwansar are at a somewhat privileged level, and finally, the cities of Natanz, Dahaghan, Barkhar, Nain, Khor, and Biyabank are at the deprived level. Also, in this research, a division was made between mountainous and non-mountainous cities in terms of having sustainable development indicators, and the findings showed that the mountainous cities of Isfahan province, including Feridan, Feridunshahr, Semiram and Chadegan, are at the level of The cities of Tiran and Karon, Khwansar and Golpayegan are at a somewhat privileged level, and Dahaghan is at a deprived level.
