Abstract
In the optimal access of citizens to service uses, in addition to the existence of a sufficient number of relevant centers and the acceptable quality of services provided, the appropriate spatial distribution of these centers is also of great importance.Therefore, the necessity of the aim of the present research is to analyze the spatial distribution of active service trade unions at the districts of Ardabil city.The data used in the research included the location and characteristics of active laundry and dry cleaning units in the districts of Ardabil city, which were recorded using the field survey method (GPS). Then by outputting to Google Earth (KML) format and using this software, the desired errors were corrected and recoded and a database was formed in ArcGIS software. In order to analyze the data, graphic-based methods and spatial statistics analysis in ArcGIS environment such as central average, spatial autocorrelation analysis and hot spot analysis were used.The results of a part of the research showed that in districts 3-1 and 3-3, there are 2.72 laundry and dry cleaning units per10 thousand people and in districts 2-2 and 4-2 per 10 thousand people,There are 0.45 laundry and dry cleaning units.The condition of the rest of the districts is in the range of these values.Also, the situation of the districts of Ardabil city in relation to laundry and dry cleaning units based on the ratio of population divided by the number of laundry and dry cleaning units showed that in district 3-3 each laundry and dry cleaning unit must cover a population of 3668 people and district 4-3, which has only one laundry and dry cleaning unit, should alone cover a population between 21,956 and 32,661 people.This analysis shows the lack of proper distribution of laundry and dry cleaning units at the districts of Ardabil city.
