Objective: Objective: As an important part of the social and economic structure of countries, villages face many challenges. Meanwhile, the rational development of infrastructure and public services is a potential factor for achieving the multi-purpose goals of sustainable rural development. Thus, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the rural services classification system in the central part of Hamedan city. Method: The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the required information was collected using library methods, the results of the general population and housing census, and the identity cards of Hamadan province settlements. Also, the evaluation of the spatial organization plan and rural settlements was based on a comparison of the level of public and high-level services and functions during the two periods of 1996-2006 and 2006-2011, and the hot spot analysis method and geographic information system software (ARCGIS) were used to spatially analyze the growth rate pattern and prepare a map. Results: The results show that during the periods of 1996-2006 and 2006-2011, rural districts, complexes, and systems have grown more than satellite villages in terms of general and high-level functions. The spatial distribution of hot spots of changes in the growth of general and high-level functions of rural settlements indicates that the three systems of Hamadan, Marijanj, and Jurqan, and the four systems of Ebro, Abshineh, Tafrijan, and Selolan, and the watersheds of Yakanabad, Ansar Imam, Deh Piaz, Arzan Food, and Varkaneh had the highest growth rate during the period 1996-2006 with a significance of 95 and 99 percent and a Z_Score higher than 0.30. Conclusions: Therefore, it can be concluded that the goals of the spatial organization plan and rural settlements have been achieved, considering the growth of the proposed centers, and the plan for the period under study, and this plan has been able to provide a suitable settlement pattern in the study area by increasing public and high-level functions in the aforementioned centers compared to satellite villages
