The spatial organization of in-city structures, with emphasis on the location of the gas station, is based on the linearly integrated linear weighted model (WLC) method in the GIS environment (Case Study: region19 of Tehran)

One of the most important points about fueling stations is their proper location. The transport sector is the most important energy consumer in mostcountries. In addition, gasoline-powered cars are getting more and more popular every day. The inappropriate location of these stations results in a waste of time and money as well as dissatisfaction with the users. On the other hand, the optimal locationof these facilities will not only affect the quality of network traffic, but also their economic success. Accordingly, the main purpose of the present study is the spatial physical organization of urban structures with emphasis on locating petrol station using weighted linear integration (WLC) method in GIS context in Tehran 19with descriptive-analytical methodology. That in the first stage the location of the existing stations, in the second stage the areas which (according to the criteria for locating the gas station) require gas station; using weighted linear integration model (WLC) and The ARCGIS software is specified. The maps used in the present study were scaled to different scales, and no arithmetic operations were possible. The scale-based method was used to convert them all to a standard scale between zero to one and zero to 255. In order to determine the weight of the criteria, a pairwise comparative method, which was used under the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, was produced by Expert Choice software and the AHP method to generate the criterion significance coefficients. Due to the number of criteria involved in the optimal location of petrol stations in this paper, it is attempted to test the combination of GIS capabilities and WLC model in providing a suitable location pattern of these centers. The overall result showed that in case of construction of petrol stations in Bahmanyar neighborhood, Khani Abad North will be in the first priority and Khani Abad and Esfandiari will be in thesecond priority. Finally, the examination of the priority areas in the output showed that these areas are in fair condition in terms of the criteria set.
