Ecological Modeling of Urban Development Using Compensatory Decision Making Models of AHP and Buckley's Fuzzy AHP Case study: The Arak Fringe

Execution of development and creation of appropriate points for urban development without considering ecological capability will result in the appearance of several environmental, economic and social problems. This research is done in an analysis approach frame of a system with the aim of determine appropriate locations for urban development, has been done according to the indicators of ecological capability evaluation model of Iran urban development in the border town of Arak. For this purpose, it has been used multi-criteria decision-making methods of AHP and FUZZYAHP Buckley in order to determine the weighting of criteria and fuzzy membership functions for standardization. The results showed that from the total region area by using FAHP, 63 percent of the lands with capable of first degree and 12 percent of lands are unsuitable for urban development, and by method of AHP, 65 percent has the capacity first class and 21 percent are unsuitable for urban development land use. Results of control the urban development classes in this study while confirmation of decision-making model AHP in the Study area, determined that the best method for assessment, is multi-criteria decision-making method FAHP, that is modelling the act of ecological capability evaluation of land use more carefully and is having more accordance with the reality of the ground truth.
