Abstract

The Geographical location pattern of industries is the title of spatial planning. Industrial location based on planning to manage systematic space and in format of industrial towns provides the possibility to performance the supportive policies from fragile ecosystems. The purpose of current research is to investigate the distribution pattern of the Alborz province industrial workshops in association with the role of industrial towns. that studying this topic become possible by using library resources and documents related to the topic of the research. The statistical Society of Research is the workshops with over 10 people employees and more in the Alborz province that matching with workshop census statistics in the year 201, is about 2944 item workshop. Current research in terms of goal is practical and methodological, is a type of descriptive and analytical research. Quantitative models such as entropy coefficient and qualitative data analysis were used in the analysis of workshop distribution. According to the research findings, the distance between the entropy coefficient obtained and the number 1 is very high and shows the unbalanced distribution of industrial workshops in Alborz province. A triple pattern was identified in the establishment of the province's industrial workshops.Two-thirds of the province’s workshops formed individually. From 15 industrial town’s province, 12 towns formed spontaneous and then have been approved as industrial towns. The unplanned formation of industrial towns and the dispersal of workshops in the residential and agricultural areas of the province, it has caused many environmental problems for the region.
