Due to the fast growing trend of urbanization in the third world countries and of disparities between urban and rural areas in terms of income, employment and the availability of basic infrastructure and services, it is important to pay more attention to the reasons and causes of disparities across the regions. According to a World Bank report released in 2011, the rural population (% of total population) in Iran was last reported at 30.50. This shows that more than a quarter of Iran population is now living in rural areas and the rural areas are the second major places of population agglomeration in the country. To alleviate the negative points of disparities, the aspects of sustainable development should be regarded to pave the way for a balanced level of development across the regions. Thus, for optimal distribution of population and resources in regional planning and development, the analysis and recognition of the levels of development in rural areas is an essential matter. To do this, a kind of literature and document analysis has been conducted to identify the research indices. Seventy one indices have been characterized regarding different Social, economic, physical, health, and cultural aspects of development. Considering theses indices, the level of development across the rural areas of Kurdistan province has been characterized using factor and cluster analysis and classified by GIS. The research results show that there is an inequality matter in the level of development across the rural areas of the province. This is mainly associated with the level and amount of agricultural land ownership, distance and proximity to the main roads, distances to the border, geographical and environmental conditions and situation of the villages.
