Abstract

Today, the weakness of poverty measurement studies and individual-based approaches in investigating poverty in cities has been revealed to almost everyone. It can be said that the realistic recognition and analysis of poverty in urban areas requires adding the spatial and temporal dimension of the problem. When talking about poverty, its spatial or spatial dimension should be considered. Using the descriptive and analytical method and relying on the data of the statistical block of Tehran metropolis in the three census periods of 1375-1385 and 1390, this article investigated the changes and developments of poverty and its dynamics in order to present the spatial pattern of poverty mobility in this metropolis. . The results of the research, which were obtained using the local Moran's statistic and spatial autocorrelation, show that poverty in the metropolitan city of Tehran has moved towards clustering during the studied periods and has changed from a scattered state to an interconnected state and a cluster. The value of Moran's statistic is 0.31 for 1375, 0.41 for 1385 and 0.78 for 1390, which also confirms this.
