The statistical population of the present study is 10 provinces of Ilam province. Its main objective is the development of spatial development and regional inequalities in the province of Ilam. In order to achieve the desired goal, 72 variables (24 indicators of economic-infrastructural (infrastructure), 24 variables of educational-cultural index and 24 variables of health-therapeutic index) have been selected. To illustrate the difference and inequality between indicators and which index has the highest inequality by Dispersion coefficient (CV) And SPSS software (Pearson correlation test) was used to investigate the relationship between urbanization and development rates. The results show that In total Indices, the coefficient of development varies from 1 to 0/754. 4 City Sirvan, Mehran, Maleshahi and Chardavol, respectively, ranked first to fourth And has a level And 6th city of Ivan, the valley of the city, Badr, Dehlran, Abdanan and Ilam is ranked fifth to tenth And have a Half enjoyed level. The greatest difference and inequality is related to the economic-infrastructural index (infrastructure) with 0/20.4 And the lowest is the educational-cultural index with 0/100. here is a reverse correlation between urbanization and population growth.In sum, these results show indicate differences and inequalities between cities in having available indicators.
