Thus, first, determine the concentration activities and calculated the cluster index. Then, by input-output table analysis and calculating the index of technical coefficients, strong links between activities were identified. In the following, Getis-Ord’s Gi statistics was calculated in ArcGIS10.2 software to determine the cities talented to formation of industrial cluster. Hence, the possibility of forming a cluster among the services and commerce activities of the hotel and restaurant category had the highest centralization of employment in Bushehr city. Then, the results of input-output table analysis showed that this category provides intermediate inputs for categorys of agricultural, electricity, water and gas and financial services, and in turn, these categorys provides intermediate inputs in the category of hotel and restaurants.
