Abstract[1]
Sustainable development in a country can be realized by taking into account the ecological potential, human resources, technology and financial resources belonging to that country and performing such development will only be sustainable in the mentioned environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explain the role of demographic components in realizing the dimensions of sustainable development of the border regions of West Azarbaijan Province, thus, the statistical population of the research has been formed by 9 border cities of the West Azarbaijan Province in the year 1390 (2011).This research was conducted using "analytical - descriptive" method and quantitative models. Research data was collected using a library (documentary) method. In this regard, the demographic analysis of the cities of West Azarbaijan Province during the years 1355-1390 was first studied, then, ranking of the cities of the province in terms of different indexes of sustainable development in 2011 was performed using the VIKOR model (in the Excel software environment) and their ratings by taking advantage of hierarchical cluster analysis method using SPSS 16 software. The results of the calculations indicate that the ranking of cities in different parts is different, and ultimately, the cities of Urmia and Showt were known as being the most developed and the most deprived cities respectively.The coefficient of variation (CV) was used to investigate the extent of inequalities among cities. The application of this model showed that among the various indices, the highest level of inequality has been in economic indicators and the least inequality has been in environmental indicators.Based on the results of structural equation modeling using LISREL software, demographic components have had the most positive impacts on the economic dimension of sustainable development. Testing the hypotheses revealed that all of the demographic components under study, have been effective on the realization of the dimensions of sustainable development.
