The Analysis of parking land use planning in Isfahan city

Disequilibrium of urban different sectors in facilities, urban services and poor distribution of urban land use is an objective field which considered urban planners by urban managers. In Isfahan regarding growth and spread of urbanization, urban migration, weakness and lack of urban services, the urban problems are more complex than ever and urban land use planning has been faced with serious challenges. Among the urban land use, parking land use is one of the users that all urban users need it and it is clear that in a world dependent on car, parking as well as roads and bridges are important, because easy access to work, residence, shopping and entertainment are made possible with them. Therefore it is an integral part of the infrastructure sector. Since the time of car stops in cities is much longer than their departure time, therefore predicting the suitable space for parking cars, especially in crowded areas and downtown is very important. But despite all the organizational planning for parking in the city of Isfahan and the great help and assistance of city managers, parking user condition in the present situation is very worrying and it can be mentioned as a complex urban problem. On the other hand, volume of vehicle entry to the city of Isfahan, the ease of car buying and ownership interest of citizens to use personal vehicles for various reasons and the increase of urban travel because of poor access to municipal services, is one of the reasons that signify the importance of parking user. This article is trying to analyze the geographical situation in the city for the parking of three user’s models (shift share, per capita balance test and correlation test). The results from these models shows that per capita for parking in areas 1, 3, 4, 5 and 10 are lower and at the regions 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 are above per capita in Isfahan. But the difference between eleventh regions and the entire city of Isfahan in this respect is not too much. On the other hand, the proposed per capita of approved plan for this user, is not achieved in any of the eleventh regions, and all of these urban areas are deficient in this respect and in regions 1, 3 and 5 this issue has become excessively acute. At the end, analysis and recommendations in order to solve urban problems are presented.
