Problem Statement

 In the present era, planners are required to adopt appropriate policies for the proper deployment of land uses in the form of principles of sustainable land management. In this regard, the necessity of locating site of major commercial centers is to a great extent considered as one of the influencing factors on cities economic success.

Purpose

Shopping auto mall centers require proper site selection in order to prevent the dispersion of their service centers due to the widespread provision of services and the growing need of citizens for cars. Therefore, the present study aimed to locate the construction site of an auto mall shopping center in Gaz-e-Borkhar.

Method

The research method is based on spatial data analysis based on comparative studies and field evaluations. The selected criteria included access to services and communication ways, hazards in terms of privacy and flooding, landscape and climate form whose digital layers were prepared based on spatial maps and data, and were analyzed in ArcGIS software environment. To determine the relative weight of the parameters, quantitative analysis was performed and prioritized by pairwise comparison. Finally, by combining the layers based on their weights through weighted means method, the zoning map of the area was prepared for optimal regions to create a shopping auto mall center.

Results

The results of the research categorized the study area into five zones ranging from very appropriate to very inappropriate to construct a shopping auto mall center. Zones 1 to 3 due to low land use, and Zone 4 due to intersection with the agricultural lands were not ranked as optimal. But, the 5th zone (very suitable) because of the intersection with the residential areas and the existing aqueducts, was classified into 4 sites from south to southeast of Gaz-e- Borkhar. Respectively, Site 1 was very desirable (82.593 hectares), Site 2 strongly desirable (56.359 hectares), Site 3 desirable (21.158 hectares) and Site 4 with low desirability (11.346 hectares) were prioritized, respectively, as suitable places for constructing a shopping auto mall center. The first place (site 1) has the highest function and performance.

Innovation

The present study has presented a spatial graphical representation of  Gaz-e-Borkhar city in the form of capable zones for constructing a shopping auto mall center that can be a comprehensive guide and scientific document for managers and planners to make the constructive decisions and to implement developmental policies.
