Assessment of Saghez Physical Development Potential Areas Using AHP-Fuzzy Model

In recent years, cities have undergone significant physical development. The physical development of residential areas in many cities has been limited, including Saghez. In fact, the geomorphologic status of the city of Saghez has limited it, so this study identifies areas that are prone to physical development within the city. In this research, in order to achieve the desired goals, five parameters (slope, slope direction, river, elevation, lithology, fault, road and land use) and fuzzy Fuzzy model and AHP were used. The method is that after preparing the information layers, the layer is weighted using the AHP model and then these layers are combined using fuzzy logic and finally the map of the amount of land fit for physical development. Residential areas are provided in four classes (very low to very high). According to the final map, areas of low and very low potential include the river unit and the high slope and elevation areas in the center and margins of the city of Saghez. Areas with high potential and high potential are mainly those of low slope and elevation areas outside the river. The overall results indicate that the study area faces many limitations in terms of physical development due to the river unit and the mountain unit.
