In this research, the development degree of the selection of cultural developing in the provinces of Iran, in regard to 23 cultural indicies, has been examined. The results of this research explain that Tehran Province has a high level development among the other provinces in Iran. Therefore, it is not homogeneous in regard to the other provinces.
The provinces, such as Tehran, Semnan, Yazd, Esfahan, Mazandaran, East Azarbaijan, and Gilan are in the group of the cultural prosperity.
While Khorasan, Zanjan, Chaharmahal - va - Bakhtiari, Ardabil, Markazi, Fars, Ramadan, and West Azarbaijan are in the group of the semi - prosperity of cultural development and the Kohkilooyeh, Khoozestan, Booshehr,Hormozgan, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Lorestan,
Ham and Sistan - va - Baloochestan are deprived of the cultural level.
The important factors in the cultural imbalances of the provinces have been the unequal opportunities of resources, the centralized systems of planning, the use of core - periphery model. The optimized
allocation of cultural resources from the lowest provinces in the systems of development hierarchy and also creating the equal opportunities of resources, as two strategies in the cultural development, are suggested.
