Abstract
According to the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), poverty is one of the 17 main goals that should be eradicated by 2030. In this vein, it has become a global challenge that international organizations and governments in different countries are trying to identify and control. In addition, many studies have been conducted about its various dimensions, the causes of its formation, factors affecting its growth, and solutions to reduce it in different environments. However, no research has been accomplished to identify urban poverty in all metropolises of a country simultaneously. Thus, this research is trying to cover this gap and has studied all of Iran's metropolises to determine how much of the population and area of the country's metropolises are covered by poverty. The required indicators for this purpose have been selected based on available data from the country's last national census and international studies related to the issue. The Factor analysis model has been used for data evaluation, and the kernel density technique and Moran's spatial autocorrelation have been utilized for spatial analysis.

Abstract
The realization and sustenance of spatial justice within urban environments encounter substantial hurdles arising from the imbalanced expansion of cities and ensuing socioeconomic crises. According to available statistical data on Iranian cities, these crises and challenges have contributed to an escalation in the number of urban inhabitants perceiving a state of impoverishment. Many researchers believe that the indices measuring the development and welfare of a city serve as indicators of its overall quality of life. The objective of this investigation was to examine how the urban quality of life, as facilitated by access to urban services, influences the perception of poverty among urban residents. Considering that objective urban quality of life transforms into subjective urban quality of life through individual perception, and recognizing that the sense of poverty is also a subjective phenomenon, it becomes imperative to explore the interconnection between these two aspects. Initially, the study formulated its conceptual model. Subsequently, the historical district of Shiraz City was chosen as the sample for examination. A structured questionnaire was devised and disseminated among the residents of this specific district. The collected data were subjected to analysis utilizing SPSS 23. The findings revealed that within the residents of the historical district of Shiraz City, the perception of poverty is influenced by three key factors: "employment and economy," "housing," and "recreation and entertainment." Furthermore, the results indicated that proficient urban management, particularly in the provision of urban services, holds substantial potential for alleviating the sensation of urban poverty.
