Objective: The square distribution of services and sources among the different areas of city and the citizens' equal access to these services is the synonym of sicial justice, due to the fact that the unfair access to the sources would cause the sicial crisis and complex spatial problems, and also the justly appropriate distribution would lead to the balanced development of urban areas. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the coordination level of population and urban services in different areas of Ilam city and to present the optimal solutions in order to reach to a balanced services distribution at the city level for all citizens to use the urban services. Methods: The present study is based on the analytic_descriptive methododology with the practical purpose. Spss and factor and cluster analysis have been used to survey the urban services distribution in Ilam. Results:The results of the study indicate that among the three indicators of urban services and among the neighborhoods of Ilam, the physical index circumstances are in a better position than other indicators. The economical index is in a mild optimal position. On the other hand, based on the two comparative analysis methods (factor, cluster), it is concluded that the central area is in the best position, and the area of Shadabad in in a mild position, while other areas like Janbazan, Chalimar, Norouzabad, Azadegan, Razmandegan, and Banbarz are in an inappropriate situation Conclusion: The situation arose due to problems such as: lack of continuous management (during the 21 years 13 mayor has changed); weakness in the formulation and implementation of laws; maladministration and inconsistency between the urban management systems and the lack of integrated vision; the volatility of municipality revenues; overcoming the look Tribal citizenship look; undesirable dispersion of congestion; per capita consumption of recreational amenities.
