Integration of hierarchical analysis model and fuzzy logic in GIS environment in order to locate the green space of Gorgan

The purpose of this study are to locate suitable areas for green space development in Gorgan by combining AHP method and fuzzy logic in GIS. In this study, the gamma function with a value of 0.9 has been used. After these steps, the final map of the proposed zones for locating green space in Gorgan has been presented. To implement fuzzy operator in GIS environment, first the effective criteria in spatial organization according to the results of library studies have been extracted and also entered into GIS environment, which are: distance from communication routes, distance from industrial centers, distance From the available green space, distance from commercial use, distance from cultural use, distance from educational use, distance from city center, distance from medical centers, distance from religious use, slope, distance from fault. After standardizing the effective criteria using the fuzzy region method in GIS environment, each of these criteria is assigned a weight based on the AHP method. Then all these criteria were combined and finally a zoning map of lands prone to urban development was produced. Using natural fracture method, the map was divided into five categories: very suitable, suitable, medium, inappropriate and very unsuitable, and it was found that about 13.79% of the study area, which is equivalent to 1895.88 hectares, which is in the very class Conveniently located. This amount is 23.74% equivalent to 3263.356 hectares of the area for the class with suitable capability. About 26.21% of the city area, which is equivalent to 3603,234 hectares, is in the middle class. Also, about 22.40% of the area of Gorgan, which is equivalent to 3080.141 hectares, is unsuitable for green space development. Finally, about 13.87% of the area of the city, which is equivalent to 1906.501 hectares, is in a floor with very unsuitable potential for the development of green space in Gorgan.
