Abstract
The agglomeration economies have long been a subject of interest among researchers. Previous studies in this area have primarily focused on the economic aspects at the national, regional, and city levels, with limited attention given to smaller scales, particularly streets. However, in this study, instead of considering the city as a unified entity, the main economic structures of the city have been examined by segregating them based on streets. By examining 3,804 companies in Kazerun, various indices such as location quotient, Herfindahl-Hirschman, and Shannon have been utilized to investigate the concentration of businesses and its implications, including specialization and diversity at the street level. As a result, not only have location-centric specialized and diverse streets been identified and presented, but the relevant industries and companies have also been included. The results show that economic activities, according to the type of services they provide, in addition to the space required for the activity, the importance of vehicle access, the amount of pedestrian traffic, proximity to population centers can be concentrated or spread in certain locations of the city so that that technical activities such as vehicle services (Khorramshahr Boulevard) and agricultural services (Ferdossi Street) in streets that are wider and farther from the city center and lack pedestrian traffic, more real estate consultants in new developments (Pardis Boulevard), medical centers in the city center (Salman Farsi Street), various streets (Northern and Southern Shohada Streets, Abu Dhar, Hazrati and Imam Khomeini Streets) are less wide than specialized streets and near the central business district of the city, busier sidewalks, and a variety of different activities in They have accommodated themselves.
