Abstract :

Today, urban activities, commuting, and communications at the city level have changed greatly, and these changes have been without regard to environmental conditions and the favorable human environment, so that it has provided many problems, especially for humans. . In the past, the design of roads, spaces and spatial communications has been such that special attention has been paid to humans as the main users. The pedestrian movement is considered as one of the strategies to improve the quality of the urban environment. This research has been carried out with the aim of presenting a model of urban implementation in Khorramabad city with an approach in terms of applied purpose and in terms of methodology, descriptive research based on model and software studies to achieve the goal of 20 indicators in 4 categories. It has been used through the MST Minimal Span Tree Algorithm in Matlab 2016 software environment and the Network Analyst Tools process in ArcGIS software environment has been used to spatialize the indicators. The results show that 11758591.7 square meters, ie 29.43% of the area of ​​Khorramabad city has a completely suitable condition for the construction of sidewalks. Also, the spatial analysis of Khorramabad city shows that 5 optimal routes for the development of sidewalks. This city includes 1: the distance between 22 Bahman Square, Velayat Boulevard, 60 meters from East Boulevard to Enghelab Alley, 2: Shahid Motahari St., Shariati Boulevard, Asadabadi St. and Mojahedin Islam Sq., 3: Imam Khomeini Sq. Hussein (AS) Shaghayegh Square, 4: Imam and Alavi St., Karim Khan Zand St. and 5: Baharestan Blvd.
