Regional development occurrs by functional variety growth of settlements and making strongest relationship between them. Therefore, examination of functional–service relationships between settlements in order to achieve an appropriate pattern is necessary for hierarchy of the settlements. Thus in this research, we used social network analysis method to examinate functional–service relationships among Roniz's settlements. Therefore, twenty service relations in four functions and relations (educational-cultural, infrastructural-commercial, remedial- health and official) were determined. Then a questionnaire was prepared and filled by the settlers. In order to analyze each relationship, we used network analysis method. The results showed that utilizing of network helped to easily and quickly recognize the spatial relation between human settlements. Further, Roniz's settlements have a strong functional–service relationship mainly with Roniz city (district center) and Mahfrkhan and Ynvan villages. In addition, because of distance dimention, other habitants (with the exception of Roniz city) have just relation with the settlements of the district.
