After several decades of planning to improve the quality of life of citizens, a significant share of city residents is still unable to meet their needs. Meanwhile, informal settlements can be considered as a clear example of environments with a low level of social development, whose residents face many problems and limitations. Therefore, in this research, the indicators of social development have been questioned through a questionnaire from the residents of five informal settlements in Hamedan city. The investigated variables are categorized into five factors “social interactions”, “economic power”, “local services”, “service distribution” and “citizenship right” with the help of factor analysis model. Also, the evaluation of factor scores in the investigated neighborhoods shows that the arrangement of the neighborhoods was based on the level of satisfaction of the residents with social development, including Manochehri, Mazdaghine, Khezr, Hesar, and Dizaj. In the following, with the help of the linear multivariate regression analysis model, the weight of the five factors in realizing satisfaction with social development has been calculated, and the economic power factor with a weight of 0.429 shows the greatest impact. The research results show that the first priority of social development is related to the “service distribution” factor in all neighborhoods. Next, the priority of social development for Hesar and Dizaj neighborhoods is related to the “economic ability” factor, for Khezr and Mazdaghine neighborhoods, it is related to the “citizenship right” factor, and for Manochehri neighborhood, it is related to the “local services” factor. Therefore, the main strategy that can be placed on the agenda of urban managers will be to create balance and justice in the distribution of services and infrastructures in Hamedan city.
