The main questions in this study are: 1) How is the ranking of development base on information society’s indicators? 2) Is there relationship between given clustering and development’s ranking in the khorasan razavi? The results of Cluster analysis shows Mashhad area is alone in a cluster and the rest areas are in the second cluster. So, if we remove city of Mashhad in analysis, we can group the rest areas into three clusters. On the other hand, that clustering shows proximate relationship with other indicators of development such as the level of social development, human development and infrastructure development. On the base of total findings, we conclude that Mashhad city as the political center and the main pole of the province’s development, has concentrated mostly infrastructures and information society’s indicators.
