چکیده:
One of the planners and policy-makers’ aims on the one hand is optimum
allocation and distribution of credits and facilities among regions and on the
other hand is to provide and compile a suitable model aiming at achieving
economic and social equity as well as creating reasonable and real economic
growth. Paying attention to the balanced regional development, decreasing
regional and district duality and inequities, regional policy-making and
planning for achieving objectives, which change according to structural
characteristics, facilities and limitations of each region require studying and
recognition of each region based on its position in the whole province. In this
study, economic and social duality means differences among provinces of
Iran that are determined with four indices of income per capita, export’s
relation to production, unemployment rate and Gini coefficient. Fuzzy
method for the year 2013 has been used owing to the existing complexities in
the development indices. The results show that the provinces are socially and
economically different and these differences will be intensified and greater
costs and time would be needed for reducing them. Moreover, a
comprehensive plan won’t work for these provinces with significantly
different deviation coefficients and the decision-makers are advised to make
a regional policy for each province.

"Paying attention to the balanced regional development, decreasing regional and district duality and inequities, regional policy-making and planning for achieving objectives, which change according to structural characteristics, facilities and limitations of each region require studying and recognition of each region based on its position in the whole province.
In this study, economic and social duality means differences among provinces of Iran that are determined with four indices of income per capita, export’s relation to production, unemployment rate and Gini coefficient.
This study using two major developmental, fundamental and social variables - each of which were divided into 22 and 31 sub-indices respectively- shows that regarding the variable of development, Tehran, Esfahan, Kerman and Markazi were placed in the first to the fifth positions and Kurdistan, Elam, Bushehr, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad were placed in the last rows of table in order, but from the standpoint of fundamental facilities, Tehran, Esfahan, Semnan, Yazd and Gilan occupied the first to the fifth rows and Lorestan, Hormozgan, West Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Kurdistan and Sistan and Baluchestan went in the last rows.
Noorbakhsh (2003) conducted a study titled "Human Development and Regional Inequities in Iran: A Model for Policy-making" with 16 indices for 26 provinces.
6. Results We employed Fuzzy TOPSIS Decision-making method to estimate the deviation coefficients of Iran provinces, paving the way to analyze the economic and social duality in Iran.
7. Conclusion In this study, Iran provinces are compared and graded based on some economic and social development indices in 2013 using fuzzy system Topsis Decision-making method."
