Lack of attention to the structural features of informal settlements by promoting solutions based on partisanship in dealing with this urban problem is increasing the scope of the issues in these settlements. This study aims to identify the challenges of the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood as one of the informal settlements in Tabriz. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the questionnaire, t-test, Friedman, and correlation tests were used to analyze the data. The data were collected using library studies and field research (a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods), and the sample size was calculated based on Cochran's formula of 378 people. The indicators determined in this research are "Physical," "Social," "Economical," and "Infrastructure" indicators, respectively. The results showed that the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood was below average regarding structural features (physical, social, economic, and infrastructure). Also, the highest level of residents' satisfaction was related to the "social" component, followed by the "infrastructure" component, the physical component. Finally, the lowest satisfaction rate was for the "economic" component. The residents' satisfaction with the structural indicators of informal settlements was not the same. Other findings showed a significant and positive relationship between infrastructure quality and the economic quality of the Akhmakiyeh neighborhood.

Equitable spatial distribution of facilities and resources between urban regions, as one of the most important pillars of desirable urban life, is one of the requirements of establishing a dynamic, coherent and progressive society. Considering importance of the issue of equality in the spatial distribution of facilities and its role in human societies, in the present study, we intend to analyze Tabriz metropolitan areas, in terms of development indicators. Therefore, the present study is descriptive-analytical in nature and in terms of purpose it is an applied type. Required data collected from statistical yearbook, comprehensive plan of 2011 and 2016 as well as other valid data of urban organizations in the form of 58 important indices including data related to economic, social, physical, welfare components , Educational and environmental. For data analysis we used Shannon entropy, coefficient of variation and Promethee technique for weighting, dispersion analysis and level of determination, respectively. ArcGIS software was also used to display the results on the map. The results of the research indicate that there is no balanced development indicators between the regions of Tabriz. As only regions 5 and 2 have higher levels of Economic, social, welfare, physical, environmental and educational indexes, regions 7,3,1 and 4 are among the deprived regions and region 10 is among the most deprived regions with not having the mentioned indicators. Overall, the research results show that the situation in the regions of Tabriz is not consistent with the balanced spatial distribution and requires proper attention and management.
