Economic Analysis of the Spatial Distribution of Urban Poverty in Ray City: A Case Study
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the economic dimension of the spatial distribution of urban poverty in the twentieth district of Tehran city. The current study is practical in terms of the goal and analytical-descriptive in those of the component method. In this research, urban poverty has been investigated by census data of 2019 in the form of a social dimension with 8 indicators. Weighing indicators of this study has been done by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method. To present and analyze the urban poverty in the neighborhoods, the ARC-GIS software has been used. Eight indicators have been used to explore the economic dimension. The spatial representation of this dimension in the level of neighborhoods of Ray City depicted that in total and based on the available data for the economic dimension, there are five neighborhoods, i.e. 25%, which are in very high poverty (Sizdeh Aban, Shahid Beheshti, Alabin, Taqi-Abad, and Abbas-Abad); three of them, i.e. 15%, are in a high situation (Javanmard Qasab, Mansourieh, and Vali-Abad); six, that is to say, 30%, are in the medium level (Shahadat, Safaiyeh, Shahid Ghiori, Ibn Babawayh, Hashimabad, and Hamza Abad); three, that is, 15%, have a little poverty (Dillman, Firouzabadi, and Dolatabad), and eventually, two, i.e. 10%, have the better situation than the others.

Background: In Malaysia, although the number of Shisha smokers has not exceeded the regular cigarette users, waterpipe smoking (Shisha) has been appeared as a new form of tobacco use, especially among the new generation. This study aims to describe the comparative characteristics, familiarities, and motives for Shisha use in some states of Malaysia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a new validated self-administered, bilingual questionnaire was conducted among Shisha smokers in Pulau Penang and Kuantan Malaysian cities. Five hundred questionnaires were distributed evenly and randomly in Shisha lounges around the mentioned two cities. Results: A total of 297 people (55.8%) agreed to participate in the study. The majority of the study participants were male (82.1%), Malay (82.8 %), and currently studying or graduated from university or college (67.5 %). Almost half (49.3%) of the study participants were Shisha users. The majority (80.3%) of respondents had smoked Shisha at least once in the last six months More than half of the respondents (58%) were influenced by comrades in the first trial of Shisha smoking. The catchy smell, the flavor, and taste of Shisha, and curiosity were the main attractive factors for smoking Shisha among study participants (30%, 29%, & 12%, respectively). However, the major contributory factors to continue smoking Shisha were pleasure and happiness, relief from tension, stress, and boredom, and passing of time (61.3%, 56.6%, & 47.4%, respectively). Study results showed that respondents' residency was a differential significant factor in attitudes, perceptions, and motivation toward experimentation and continuation of Shisha smoking. The vast majority of Penangites perceived that Shisha was purified from harmful substances, Shisha smoking did not irritate the bronchi, and there was no association between Shisha smoking and lung cancer (82.5%, 64.6%, & 62.1%, respectively). About half of the respondents believed that Shisha was less harmful, less addictive, and contained less nicotine than a cigarette (44.1%, 68.9%, & 67.5, respectively). There is a strong belief among the study population (67.5%) that the popularity of Shisha will increase over the next half-decade. Conclusion: High prevalence of Shisha smoking associated with the considerable poor level of knowledge about Shisha use has been noticed among the study population. The results indicated the role played by peers in instigating the testing or using shisha. Study findings affirm the necessity for further research into contributory factors influencing Shisha use.
Generally, in developing countries urban growth overtakes the governments and municipalities' capacity to provide appropriate infrastructure and services for their population. This has caused problems such as urban poverty to be intestified, especially in large cities of such countries. Ofcourse, providing any solution for organizing and reducing urban poverty is subject to determining the levels of urban poverty and its distribution pattern. So, this study is trying to provide a spatial analysis of urban poverty for the neighborhoods of Mashhad. In this research, urban poverty has been investigated in the form of three social, economic and physical dimensions by 30 indicators and using the statistical blocks of the 2011 census. The weighting of the research indices was done using the AHP method. ARC GIS 10.3 has been used to display and analyze the urban poverty in the neighborhoods. The research results show that the distribution pattern of poor neighborhoods in Mashhad follows a cluster pattern. The distribution of urban poverty clusters shows that the largest cluster is concentrated in the eastern part of Mashhad, although there is a small cluster of poverty in the northern part of the city. On the other hand, urban poverty clusters have focused in marginal neighborhoods in Mashhad, which indicates the need for more attention to these neighborhoods.
