Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of 4 and 6 health and educational indicators in 8 coastal areas located in the cities of Astara, Talesh and Rezvanshahr in western Guilan, the data of the indicators were extracted from the statistical yearbook of population and housing in 2006, 2011 and 2018. Then, using the Rural Development Index (RDI) and the Combined Result Index (CRI), the level of development of the sectors in the form of four degrees D, C, B and A, indicate poor, average, good and excellent conditions, respectively, was determined. Also, using the global I Moran and the local I Moran index, first the significance of cluster, scattered and random patterns of each index is determined and then the type of proximity of the indices in four modes of high-high (HH), low-low ( LL), up-down (HL) and down-up (LH) were determined. The results showed that the RDI of some indicators changed spatially, but there was no significant change in temporally. But the results of the Combined Index (CRI), which is the result of both education and health, were different. The results of two educational and health indicators (combined index) showed that the level of development of most sectors is in the D rank and rarely C and B. there was a high-low cluster (HL) mode in CRI have been no significant changes in the educational and health indicators in the three periods, and there has even been a decrease in some indicators
