The city of Zanjan in recent decades has enjoyed a considerable growth in population and physical size. However, rapid irregular growth in the number of population has caused in unfavorable formation of informal settlement areas in the city. Islamabad is of the largest informal accommodation regions in Zanjan which is built as a consequence of massive rural migration during 1970s. Although the area, for the time being, is considered within the boundaries of official areas of the city, it is suffering from different skeletal, service, demographic, social and cultural malfunctions. This paper aims at identifying and analyzing the spatial patterns of the conflicts and criminal behaviors happening in Islamabad and discuss crime facilitators in the region using statistical models and Geographical Information Systems.
