The issue of divorce in Iran, as one of the serious social harms along with poverty, unemployment, marginalization, and addiction, stands out in most of the speeches of officials and analyses of social pathologists and various specialists in psychological and social issues. To the extent that identifying the situation and designing divorce prevention mechanisms have become two of the main missions of all the country's cultural institutions. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the spatial distribution of divorce in the provinces of Iran. The research's statistical population is the yearbook of the population until 2015. The present article is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. Moran's autocorrelation and nearest neighbor method has been used for data analysis in spatial analysis in ArcGIS software environments with hot and cold spots. The results indicate a significant difference in divorce rates in the study area. So, the northwest of the country has cold spots that indicate the low level of divorce in this area, but this situation is different in the eastern part of the country. The hot spots of divorce in the country are formed in this area, which indicates the high incidence of d ivorce in this area. Therefore, to take the necessary measures to reduce the phenomenon of divorce in the province, it seems necessary to plan carefully to reduce the factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
