MoreBackground and Objective: Today, urban planners have become interested to consider sustainable development in their planning. Evaluation of ecological capacity for urban development in order to select appropriate locations is the main factor in sustainable development. In this study, it has been attempted to evaluate the ecological capacity in order to determine the best possible regions for urban development in Baghmalek district by applying a combination of Analytical Hierarchy Processes and geographic information system. Method: In order to achieve this objective, first we recognized the effective criteria in urban development using the previous studies and by collecting opinions of the experts by Delphi methodology. Finally 5 criteria and 12 sub-criteria were selected. Then, we determined the priority of the criteria against each other by pairwise comparison method and by applying Analytical Hierarchy Processes. Finally, the required information layers were valuated based on fuzzy logic in environment of Geographical Information System (Arc GIS 10.2), the calculated weights were applied on them and ecological capacity map was prepared by weighted overlaying the layers. Results: The results indicated that %46.65 of the studied area has a completely unsuitable potential, %39.62 has an unsuitable potential, %12.27 has an average potential, %1.17 has a suitable potential and %0.29 has completely a suitable potential for urban development. Conclusion: According to the classification of the final map, it was concluded that the prone areas for future physical development in Baghmalek district can be further expanded in the northern part. On the other hand, Southeast and East directions because of having mountainous regions, face with more restrictions for future development. Manuscript profile -

It should be chosen in a way that the strategical advantage over rival plants is achievable. This paper aims to select an optimum site for a mill producing fluting paper from agricultural residue using hierarchical analysis process. Method: After the necessary studies, the factors affecting site selection for fluting paper mill in Mazandaran province were identified, and criteria and sub-criteria hierarchy was designed based on profit and loss. Finally, weight value of each of them was determined through Expert Choice software using questionnaires and date analysis. Final priority ranking of the alternatives was performed based on the ratio of benefits to cost (B/C) to choose the best alternative from eastern, western and central parts of Mazandaran. Findings: Results showed that material and production, economic and infrastructure were respectively the best criteria. Moreover, the sub-criteria related to raw material were found to be the most effective factor. Conclusion: The results indicate the highest ratio of benefits to costs for the eastern part of Mazandaran which is, as a result, the best location for establishing a mill producing fluting paper from agricultural residues in the province.

The purpose of this study was prioritized the appropriate places in the timber depot of the Lireh Sar basin of Mazandaran province. Method: For this purpose, the options were chosen with at least the requirements for timber depot. In the second step of the selection criteria were specified for timber landing. These criteria include: slope, stand type and the canopy density. In the third step weighting was performed criteria using the analytic hierarchy process and expert opinion. Finally, the rate of adjustment of regions of interest was prioritized. Results: The study measures the standing volume of forest stands adjacent to the depot highest weights (0/575) have been allocated. Among the 6 choice, choices 3 with a standing volume of 300- 400, crown density slope at the depot 50-25% and 10.5% were identified as the best option to construction landing. Conclusion: The results of the weighting of the criteria showed the volume of the forest stands near the depot is the most important. Harvesting of forest stands with high volume requires the existence of wood depots and warehouses in the closest point to the forest stands. Manuscript profile -

Consequently, transportation of heavy, expensive equipment has drawn the attention of many organizations around the world. This paper proposes a multicriteria decision-making model to assess the performance of firms dealing with the logistics and transportation of heavy equipment. First, a number of evaluation criteria were determined by reviewing research works in this area, interviewing experts and using the Delphi method. Afterward, a panel of experts compared the evaluation criteria, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to determine the relative importance of the evaluation criteria. Then, Fuzzy Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) was utilized to assess the performance of firms active in the area of heavy equipment transportation. Finally, the assessment procedure was conducted by ELimination Et Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE). A case study of firms active in the heavy transportation within oil, gas and petrochemical industries in Iran was used to implement the proposed multicriteria framework. Results of both Fuzzy TOPSIS and ELECTRE methods showed that the A7 organization is the leading one in the transportation of heavy industrial equipment. In addition, both these methods provided a similar ranking of other organizations active in the transportation of heavy industrial equipment. Manuscript profile -

In this regard, it is possible to use advanced spatial methods to identify flood-prone areas and use its results in urban management planning. The purpose of the present study is to identify flood prone areas and flood potential zoning of dayyer County in Bushehr province using hierarchical analysis in GIS environment. For this purpose, based on the most important effective factors in creating floods and their weighting, the Analytical Hierarchy (AHP) method was used. After preparing the weighted maps and analyzing the criteria, by overlapping the layers, a flood zoning map was prepared and presented in dayyer County. Based on the results, the extension of the northern and northeastern elevations to the east of dayyer County and the middle elevations of the city and its center have a high flood potential. The results showed that out of the total area of 2306 square kilometers of the studied area, 204 square kilometers are in the very low vulnerability category (8.8%), 563 square kilometers are in the low vulnerability category (24%), and 694 square kilometers are in the medium vulnerability category (5.5). 30 percent), 583 square kilometers are in the high vulnerability class (25.2 percent) and 262 square kilometers are in the very high vulnerability class (11.5 percent). Considering that more than 50% of the area of the region has a medium to high risk of flood potential and the areas with a very high risk also constitute a significant area of the region, Therefore, it is necessary that flood-prone areas be the focus of urban management planning.

Being placed on the Alpine - Himalayan orogeny belt and the presence of active geologic and plateau have all made the earthquake as a potential danger. Meanwhile, since most of Iran's population live in metropolitan areas, this fact has raised the need for safer urban spaces. One of the most important urban spaces in this regard is Tabriz. The location of this city on the active faults of the region, especially the Tabriz fault, calls for the adoption of urban safety approaches. This article in terms of target is applied and the method is a descriptive - analytical one. To conduct this research, the hierarchy analysis process and Arc GIS software have been used. In this regard, 12 criteria were identified and processed in both natural and human sections and an earthquake risk map was prepared. In this regard, 12 criteria were processed in two distinct natural and human sections and an earthquake risk map was prepared. The results showed that the central, west, and southwestern regions with an area of 13969.6 hectares (more than the half city's area), 59.3 percent of the city, are in high risk of seismic zone and are quite susceptible to earthquakes. Only the northern parts of the city are secured from the earthquake; but considering the fact that the depth and domain of the earthquake are not limited to a specific area, the earthquake in the northern city may occur too. Therefore, the commitment to construction regulations, location of urban development, living spaces, and activities in this metropolis are all important factors. Manuscript profile -

In addition to providing aesthetic and recreational value to parks, these parks also play a key role in economic development, improving public health, creating job opportunities and creating self-sufficiency in natural resources, in all of these factors, the access element is one of the most important dimensions in this regard. The objective of this study is physical development planning of urban green spaces with an emphasis on the accessibility factor of Babol city. Through surveys and field observations, the indexes were collected and next, using the hierarchical analysis model, combination of the variables and share of each one in explaining the availability of the access of urban parks separated from neighborhoods were done. Then, using GIS software and location method, new green spaces are proposed based on the needs of citizens and to address the per capita green spaces in Babol. The study shew that the main prerequisites for the development of green spaces are the awareness of managers and intermediate authorities of the municipalities about the benefits of green spaces, the need for all people to participate in the importance of urban environmental quality issues and access to the equipment needed for green spaces.
