For analyzing and comparing the aesthetic level of the two neighborhoods, descriptive statistical parameters have been used and for analyzing spatial inequalities, zoning maps have been drawn in geographic information system and calculations and analysis on related descriptive table. Considering the evaluation of indicators in the range of 1-10 points and the higher score to the higher level of aesthetics, the findings showed that the mean of total indicators in Golestan area was 6.31 and in Moradab area was 2.57. Also, in Golestan neighborhood, mianiyah cultifar is 6.43 and the first quadrant is 4, while in Moradab area these figures are 1.78 and 1, respectively. Spatial analysis of zoning chart showed that in Golestan area there are no indicators, areas that are aesthetically at "very low" and "low" levels, whereas in the lagoon area, no area is located at "high" and "high medium" levels, It can be concluded that Golestan area is at a high level in terms of aesthetic indicators and there is a lot of spatial inequality within and between the two studied sites.

The type of the study was a developmental one and the area understudy was Malayer with 52697 households and an area of 2,400 hectares. Quantitative models and statistical procedures such as development indicators, standardized scores, correlation coefficient, t-test, multiple regression, variance analysis, coefficient of variation, factor analysis, and 60 variables as the indicators of this study were used to assess and evaluate the life quality in Malayer as far as social, economic, environmental and physical aspects of life were concerned. Using Cochran's formula, 384 random samples were selected from different parts of the city and were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using SPSS software. The obtained findings showed that the economic index of life quality with 58% was more inappropriate than the social, cultural and physical ones, while social and cultural indicators with 42% were in a moderate situation.
