In Tehran there is one cinema hall for every 47 thousand people, whereas this ratio in Sistan and Baluchestan reaches 694 thousand people. This striking disparity indicates serious differences in the distribution of cultural infrastructure among the country's various provinces.
Overall, Tehran Province has 75 cinemas, whereas in Sistan and Baluchestan Province there are only 3 cinemas. These figures point to a gap in access to cultural facilities that can have a considerable effect on quality of life and on people's level of access to art and entertainment. Equitable development of cultural infrastructure, by increasing the number of cinema halls in deprived provinces, can be effective in reducing these inequalities.
