Spatial-spatial analysis of fire stations using network analysis and ANP model (case study: One Bandar Abbas area)

Among existing methods for prevention, reduction of casualties and damage caused by fires in urban areas, urban planning through the establishment of relevant rules and regulations can make a significant contribution to reducing mortal and financial losses and providing security for citizens in the long run. The purpose of this study is to investigate the spatial-spatial location of fire stations in Bandar Abbas area. The research methodology is applied based on the descriptive-analytical nature of the research. To collect information, a questionnaire was used for data analysis. Supper Decisions software and GIS software and anp model were used to prioritize predisposing sites for the deployment of fire stations. The results of this study indicate that, considering the land use and the determination of the operational radius of the stations, the two existing stations can not provide the services of the entire urban area, and the need to locate and deploy the new stations. Also, using multiple layers in the ArcGIS10 environment and integrating it with the ANP model, suitable locations for the installation of new fire stations are identified.
