Spatial structure of population is an important issue in regional studies. Iran population has
unbalanced and unsuitable distribution. In some places population is dense and in some other
areas it is sparse. The unbalanced and disproportional distribution can be attributed to various
factors that can be divided into a variety of categories such as natural, economic, social,
political, historical, cultural and etc. Development of car industries and promotion of trade,
construction and development of rural areas and new towns in different ways has a new era of
development and population displacement. Influx of rural migrants to urban areas and
concentration of population in cities and small towns led to numerous inconsistencies in the
distribution of population in Iran. The high population growth in one hand and the implications
and consequences of large population on the other hand are important factors influencing
population-based studies and population movements in the geographical areas.
In this study, an attempt has been made to study the geographical areas with population
change and effective factors. The consequences of this change are analyzed. The questions
considered in this study are as follows:
1. Are crucial demographic factors such as population growth and the youth literacy rate
in terms of active population and employment rates various in different areas? 2. Is the process of migration in recent decades influencing environmental policies and
planning?
Could the current trend of population distribution in different regions lead to an increase in
the gap between wealthy and deprived areas?
Methodology
The method of this research is descriptive - analytic
. To obtain information in the research we
used library documents and statistics as materials. Then, demographic data were used
individually and based on comparisons between different periods.
