Potentials and barriers of physical development of the Ruodbar city using Remote Sensing and GIS

Physical development of cities around the world is influenced by its natural geography and human interactions. Geographic data analysis is difficult without the use of geographic information and satellite data, and impossible in a complex case. In this study, potentials and barriers of physical development of the Ruodbar city using Remote Sensing and GIS be evaluated.

Firstly, in the ArcGIS software environment, using the AHP-FUZZY combination method the use of slope, gradient, land use, power lines, river, road and rail, fault and rural points are used to locate the urban sprawl. The output was extracted in the form of a map of AHP and fuzzy overlay into five groups with very good, good, moderate, weak and very weak potential. In order to expand the city's physical development by using a visual interpretation on Google Earth images for 2016, 2009, 2004 for 12 years, a map was drawn out as the result. Finally, the results obtained from the Geographic Information and Visual Interpretation System were compared.

The findings of the AHP-FUZZY compilation show that 95.6% of the study area has very weak potential, 1. 52% has a weak potential, 1.17% has a moderate potential, 1.21% has good potential and 0.69% has a very good potential. And the findings from the visual interpretation method over the course of 12 years show that the development of the city is just Mehr Housing (a project done government).

Based on the findings of the AHP-FUZZY Compilation and Metrology Measurement, we concluded that most of the constructions have been implemented in unpredictable places in the city of Roodbar, which is influenced by natural and inevitable factors, including steep slope, abundant faults, permanent existence of Sefidrood river, and land use, most of which are gardens and forests and agricultural land and has prevented its physical development.
