Abstract
In recent decades, Iran has undergone a number of changes and transformations due to migrations from rural areas and consequent increase in the number and size of cities, resulting in inconsistencies in distribution of urban centers, intense concentration of population in some cities, imbalance in urban system and network, and finally imbalance in the urban hierarchy system. Therefore, in order to prevent the many economic, social, hygienic and ecological problems of big cities, quantitative and qualitative study of these centers and the need to review their planning is of great importance.
it is clear that while the role of environmental factors and natural conditions as the geographic context can not be neglected in the emergence of this imbalance and inconsistency, the impact of political and economic issues should be considered as well.
