Abstract: Today, cities have become arenas of social conflicts. And, achieving more services and benefits has substituted socioeconomic differentiation for racial-ethnical one. Therefore, the issue of spatial inequalities in the cities and the necessity of establishing social justice in citizens' enjoyment from public services have become serious for urban managers and planning specialists. The current research aims at investigating spatially population distribution and service distribution in Snandaj. Research type is applied and research method is descriptive-analytical. To do spatial analysis of population distribution and service distribution, relative entropy efficient model, TOPSIS model and Spearman rank model have been used. Findings indicate that the extent of enjoyment from urban services and utilities is not balanced among five districts of Snandaj, which those factors have entailed such consequences as unnecessary movements in the city, the centralization of population and activities in some parts of the city, expansion of different urban problems and lack of equal enjoyment from public service among different urban districts.
