of all disparities

rike-Myrdal
(1957)., Hinchman (1958), Boudeville (1966),
and Friedmann (.t973)
introduced the concept of growth pole theory in "spatial

Geographical space, or distance between economic
and political
centers and their peripheries, is a contributing factor
and so,nehow
a precondition for emergence of disparities. Friedman
(1973) argued
that economic progress never manifests simultaneously

Regional disparities caused by inadequate infrastructure

Social scientists have long argued that infrastructures
are
prerequisite for economic growth. infristructure
has been defined as
"basic public infrastructure, which forms the foundation
for society an.l
economics" (Snieska&Simkunaite). In addition, infrastructur.

and firm
(Prud'homme,2004). There are two distinct types of infrastructure:
economic infrastructure and social infrastructure
wherein the former

and the
latter promotes public welfare. Asceuer (1993)

Bridges play a vital role

in integtating and reducing the gap

the paragon of honesty, integdry and dignity in all its responsibilities
