Multifunctional parking locating with an emphasis on shelter by using GIS and multi criteria decision making method (AHP) (case study: zone 14 of tehran city municipal)

Protecting civilians is one of the most important goals in passive defense in order to mitigate vulnerabilities. Building safe spaces and shelters is an action to achieve this goal. According to expensive costs of building such structures، if they are simply built for military crises time، it will not be logical and economic so that there will be problems to build them. Hence، it is logical، economic and prevalent to build multifunctional spaces so that in peace time they have normal functions and in crisis time they turn into a shelter or a safe space. Appropriate site-selecting of public urban spaces such as parking are strongly needed in the city of Tehran. According to each zone requirements and considering passive defense principles we could have multifunctional spaces as parking-shelters during the war. The purpose of this research is the site selecting of a multifunctional Requirement in zone 14 of Tehran city municipal with the ArcGIS software that conducted by Needs assessment would be a parking in peace and it will be a shelter in times of crisis. In this research we have tried to create layers corresponding to each index in GIS software by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and weighting to the Positioning index. The final location is detected and introduced by the overlaid layers.
