Abstract

This research has been done in the framework of constructivist-interpretive paradigm, qualitative methodology and the approach of contextual theory. The participants in the study are experts from government departments and organizations, as well as rural experts living in the Mohammadabad-Zarrin Gol district. Among them, 29 people participated in the research using theoretical sampling. The techniques and tools for data collection were semi-structured interview techniques and semi-structured interview checklists, respectively. Open, central, and selective coding were also used for analysis. Based on the findings, this study concluded that the polar spatial organization of Mohammadabad-Zarrin Gol region (Aliabadaktol city) (with the dominant role of two urban points of Fazel Abad and Aliabad) is affected by factors such as mountain topographic structure, urban centrality, ، The weakness of services and access to it, the one-way relations within and outside the region, the weakness of the supply chain and the value of tourism and the weakness of the labor market have not been able to move towards a network pattern by
