Abstract :

One of the important points in the discussion of urban land use planning is the consideration of the location and spatial distribution of land uses, especially land uses of emergency services, with the aim of improving the efficiency of urban centers and critical facilities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the spatial distribution of the major hospitals in Urmia with the passive defense approach using Analytical Network Process (ANP) in GIS. Therefore, 14 hospitals in Urmia were studied according to their service radius and geographical distribution, and considering 17 effective indicators in the form of five criteria including environmental criteria, sensitive use, physical, cultural and communication criteria. The method of this study is descriptive-analytic and its nature is theoretical-practical. The results of spatial pattern analysis and zoning of criteria show that Urmia hospitals are not well dispersed and their risks is high during the crisis. Among the hospitals in Urmia, Seyed-alshohada and Milad Hospitals are in good condition, and two are razi and Omid hospitals are in a completely inappropriate condition. The remaining hospitals are also in nearly inappropriate condition.
