Numerous studies have examined and analyzed the urban form. In these studies, discussions of the urban form generally focus on the contrast between scattered, and compact forms. Although scattered, and concentrated forms are the two dominant models in this regard, but a comprehensive study and analysis of other dimensions of the urban form and its relationship with other urban dimensions such as social and economic characteristics have rarely been done. In this paper, ten spatial measures in the form of five distinct dimensions of compactness, diversity, porosity, density, and complexity have been used to study and analyze the urban form and the relationship between urban form and demographic characteristics of neighborhoods with different social, and demographic characteristics have been studied.The results of spatial measurements show that there are significant differences in the dimensions of the urban form of urban case studies. The urban form of city Zahedan has high compaction and density, low complexity and porosity, and moderate diversity.Also, the results of the relationship between urban form and demographic characteristics of Zahedan city show that although there is a direct positive and significant relationship between demographic characteristics and the combined score of spatial measures of urban form; This relationship does not apply to all spatial metrics.
