Abstract

Among the important issues that can be seen in the country is the imbalance in the distribution system and the failure of the service systemof cultural spaces.Heterogeneous and unplanned development and rapid population growth can be considered asthe main reasons for this problem. In order to increase efficiency of these spaces,it seems necessary to pay attention to proper organization and distributionThe aim of this research is to analyze the pattern of spatial distribution and location of cinemas inthe country from 2016 to 2036 ina twenty-year horizon.The research method is of the spatial analysis type(GIS)that first spatial analysis including standard deviation ellipse, population density and growth analysis was performed on the population data of different regions and then using spatial autocorrelation methods and close analysis methods.The nearest neighbor and Moran's index, the pattern of spatial distribution of cultural centers in the studied area was determined. By using spatial distribution analysis methods, cinema centers were identified in the study area.The findings and results obtained from the map of the current situation can be found that the largest spatial-spatial distribution of cinema units is located in23provinces, also the resulting maps show that in2016,in order to reach the standard average rate of the existence of cinemas,30 cinemas need to be built for all the provinces of the country; And the majority of this need is related to the provincesof Khorasan Razavi and Sistan and Baluchistan.in the target year of 2036, according to the estimated population,61cinemas will be needed to maintain the existing per capita
