Abstract
One of the results of migration to cities is the formation of certain patterns of residential segregation. Although various researches confirm the segregation of immigrants in big cities, but this issue has not been addressed in small cities. Therefore, the present research is an attempt to answer the question whether in a small city like Qaen, the immigrants had a spatial separation or not.
In this research The statistical population of the research is the immigrants who entered the city of Qaen during 2011 to 2016 . The primary raw data were extracted from the statistical blocks of the Population and Housing Censuses 2016 and entered into the Geo-Segregation Analyzer software to calculate and analyze the segregation indices. Arc GIS software was also used for additional spatial analysis and SPSS was used for multiple regression analysis.
The results of the research showed that in the Evenness dimension, the IS index with a value of 0.495 is in the medium range, the entropy index (H) with a value of 0.26 is in the low range, and the Gini index is in a relatively high range with a value of 0.685. Based on this, it can be said that the distribution of immigrants is not equal and is more concentrated in some blocks. The Exposure dimension measured by the xPx index is evaluated as low with a value of 0.258. The Delta index and Absolute Concentration, which are indicators of Concentration, are both in the average range, but the Absolute Clustering index (ACL) is low with 0.274. Of course, spatial statistics such as general Moran's statistic, general G and Ripley's K Function indicate that the blocks with a higher percentage of immigrants are clustered.,But the low the Absolute Centralization index (ACL) indicates that immigrants are less inclined to settle in city center.
