Abstract

The main aim of this study is to determine the hierarchy of service centers in the governorate of Mafraq, with an indication of the adequacy and efficiency of those services for the population's needs through the study of ranks of these centers, and to identify regions of functional service centers through the identification of functional relationships that link the centers with each other. It was found from the theoretical framework to the problem of the study, that the distribution of services in the governorate of Mafraq, is a random distribution does not correspond with the actual distribution of the population, as it did not achieve the principles of efficiency and equality, were services are limited to meet the largest possible size of the population, was not able to reduce the cost of access. Which requires a new policy for the allocation of necessary services, in order to reduce disparities between different regions in the province, especially between rural and urban, in addition to working towards the provision of services at the lowest cost and less time as possible between these communities, as they must be reconsidered in the spatial distribution for development efforts to ensure the equitable distribution of investment between the regions.
