Abstract
Nowadays fast growing population with social and economical challenges brought by cities has created a new form of urbanization. This has made it difficult to provide residents need properly in cities. The main problem of such form of urbanization is in relation to the challenges of equitable access to adequate quality services for all residents. The city of Sanandaj was selected as the case study of this research to assess particularly the social justice situation across the entire socio-spatial structure of the city. Therefore, the dispersion index of Williamson and Morris was used to conduct the field work. In this regard, the distribution of social, economical and physical indicators and residents accessibility has been surveyed across21 districts of the city. Then, the correlation analysis was used to identify the relationship among the level of socio economic statues of the residents and the degree of accessibility to urban services. The results show that there is a significant variation among indicators by household socio economic statues. It means that the pattern of urban land use (services) was mainly in line with the socio economic statues of residents. Those neighborhoods with high level of urban services also contain wealthy economical groups. Eventually this conveys that the spatial structure of the city is not equitable to promote the level of social justice across the whole city.
