Abstract :
Background and Objective: Environmental balance between transportation and urban landuse components of planning is very important, because they have great impact on each other. As transportation is one of the most important infrastructures of a city, its location-allocation is important for urban planning.Overall objective of this study is "Development of a GIS approach to plan appropriate locations for main urban landuses in the transportation network. Arak (a developing city in Iran) has been chosen as the case study. Method: This research includes the design and development of a model in the GIS environment with a view to introducing the development areas of Arak city for optimal urban use of urban areas with the aim of increasing the efficiency of urban transport and reducing environmental impacts. The research methodology has focused on the calculation and mapping of fuel consumption, air and noise pollution in the urban transportation network and the proper deployment of users. Findings: The results indicate the efficiency of the designed model for the proper location of the transportation network and urban utilities. Obtained maps show there are a lot of non-suitable zones for most of urban landuses. The results focus on the approaches such as road type change and location changes of the landuses locations to reduce environmental hazards. Discursion and Counclusion: This research has successfully managed development of a scientific approach for current and future model development. This approach can be employed in landuses and transportation network development. Suitability assessment can be done at both the local and national structure plan levels.
