Abstract
Whenever development in spatial
aspect could provide some certain guidelines for convenient and just
satisfaction of service needs of residents, it could be a sustainable one. In
this study, by recognizing the pattern of development spatial distribution in
Khusetan cities, we try to find out whether they are in a sustainable path or not.
The study is a practical one and based on a descriptive-analytical method. Our
data have been gathered from Statistical Annual of Khusetan in 2011. The
results suggest that development spatial distribution in Khusetan cities are
not according to the goals and principles of sustainable development. All
analyses show that development spatial distribution in the province is so
unequal and completely against the spatial justice rendered by sustainable
development. Inequality has been occurred in different levels Inequality
between Ahvaz (center of province) and surrounding cities, between populous and
thinly populated cities of the province, and inequality between northern and
southern cities in one side and eastern and western ones in the other side.
Besides, the current pattern of development in the province is against the
wholistic view and systematic conduct of sustainable development in a way that
sectional view of spatial development is so clear and evident.

Abstract
One of the social problems on Yazd is the environment and if this problem cannot be controlled, it becomes a crisis and decreases the outcomes of developmental benefits. This problem is mainly caused by industrial development, geographical, climatic conditions, and dehydration. This paper focuses on the socio-cultural namely cultural capital, religiosity, life style and mass media use with environmental behaviors among citizens in Yazd. This is survey research and the population consisted of citizen in Yazd for whom 384 individuals were selected through random cluster sampling. Data collection technique was a questionnaire that has a suitable validity and reliability. The results showed that the environment factor was significantly related to cultural capital and lifestyle. There is a significant difference between men and women in environmental behaviors, too. However, age, marital status, mass media use, religiosity, education and environmental behaviors do not have a significant relationship. The results of regression analysis showed that the adjusted coefficient of determination for all the independent variables was equal to 0.278, meaning that all these variables could explain approximately 28 percent of the variation of the dependent variable (environmental factors).
