Abstract

Urban segregation is a topic worthy of attention in most cities of the world; Because in many cities, this separation has been, if not the originator, but has aggravated some social problems, and many social and economic problems of such societies arise from the existence of residential segregation, which has become an important challenge in urban and residential policymaking. It has been in the cities. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to measure the residential segregation of Ardabil city using multi-group measurement index. The research method is quantitative and its approach is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of this research is the legal area of Ardabil city in 2015 and the sample size is all the statistical blocks of the mentioned year. The required data was analyzed in the form of a map using geographic information system, GeoDa software and spatial separation analysis. For this purpose, it was first measured the degree of segregation of several groups between the upper, middle and lower classes of the city. The results showed that there is a moderate separation between the strata in the city. Based on the results obtained from spatial statistics methods, it was found that among the 6738 city blocks in 2015, Ardabil city has a centralized and cluster structure. In a general summary of the results obtained based on the indicators used, it can be said that the spatial structure of Ardabil city has a concentrated pattern and the areas with the highest degree of urban deprivation are located in the northwest and southeast parts and mainly include Informal settlement areas are areas with middle disorganized texture and textures with rural background.
