Optimal location of green space In Ardabil City using the Analytical Network Process model (ANP), and geographic information system

Green spaces and urban parks should be considered among the most fundamental factors fo the sustainability of natural and human life in today's urbanization. The Selection of optimal sites for the construction of green spaces and prioritization of these sites based on different criteria can be considered according to the spatial condation of the studied area. In this study, It is tried to provide sutible plase for the construction of green space in Ardabil whih criteria such as: Economic, situational and proximity in the form of ANP model using the overlapping functions of the geography information system. The analysis of data is used from ARC GIS, MATLAB, Super Decision and Excel software. According to the final map, the lands of Ardabil city have been classified into five groups with very high, high, medium, high and very low priorities for choosing the right place to use green space. In order to match the results obtained from the model presented in the urban green space survey with the facts available in the study area, it's land use map has been prepared in GIS environment and the results of the model mentioned in the land use map have been announced. The combined use of ANP model and GIS in prioritizing and determining the best places in the city to determine uses is the innovation of this research.
