Description
Summary:The employment phenomenon plays an important role in creating tendencies for centralization and shaping inequalities at the ‎regional level. Considering the fact that the main source of concentration and density is ‎occupational centralization, the aim of this study is to investigate the distribution patterns and employment focus ‎in Bushehr Province during the years 1365 to 1390 with a focus on Bushehr County. So, four questionnaires ‎were used to explore the patterns of ‎distribution and concentration of employment in the ‎province.‎ Based on a literature review and the theoretical background, four ‎hypotheses were ‎formed. Those hypotheses were tested through a descriptive-analytical research method. ‎Concentration and distribution of employment were analyzed ‎by the Location Quotient technique of ‎distribution, concentration Quotient, ‎locational association technique, and linear regression.‎ ‎The results of the tests on the level of concentration and distribution showed a higher ‎concentration in Bushehr County than in the other counties during different years. ‎However, Kangan County had higher ‎concentration in 2006 and 2011. The ‎findings of the locational association analysis showed that a high level of ‎industrial activity has caused absorption and concentration in every business area ‎in this ‎county. The results of regression analysis showed that the adherence of transportation job was in first rank, ‎and building activity was in second rank.‎
