Abstract
The metropolis of Tehran, as an example of cities that have grown without a plan, is facing many problems. The concentration of population and activity in this city has led to spatial inequality. This research sought to answer the question of what is the spatial reflection of housing policies in Tehran metropolis. The descriptive-analytical research method used the data from 2011 to 2023. The VIKOR model was used to rank the areas of Tehran in terms of housing spatial indicators and the Moran's spatial autocorrelation method was used to examine the relationship between the indicators. The findings of the research showed that the results of the policies implemented in the city of Tehran are the presence of two completely separate poles in the northern and southern parts; The results obtained from the VIKOR model indicate the spatial inequality between the regions in having the studied indicators, which is the reflection and result of the government's policies, the inadequacies of the housing planning system, etc. Areas 1, 2, 3, and 6 are identified as fully privileged areas, and areas 18, 19, 20, and 21 are identified as deprived areas. Also, the value of Moran's index indicated the existence of spatial correlation between regions and having a cluster pattern. The output of the spatial analysis shows two very rich and deprived clusters. The results showed that regions 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 formed a cluster with high values, while regions 9, 16, 17, and 19 formed a cluster with low values and other regions in the middle of these two were placed. Therefore, it can be said that the housing policies as a part of the government policies implemented in the metropolis of Tehran have caused the formation of spatial inequality and imbalance at the level of Tehran's regions.
