        Ever- increasing growth the number of motor vehicles in urban routes and lack of coordinated development of infrastructures and fixed installations of urban traffic have intensified traffic problem in down towns of cities. One of the facilities that are urgently needed is sufficient space for parking of cars. Ignoring the parking issue has created problems in daily trips of citizens, traffic jam, marginal stops, and severe pollution of   air. These problems demand continuous endeavor and effective needed measures. Proper place finding of public parking lots will promote their efficiency and will minimize number of marginal parks.  Now that the central areas of the metropolis of  the country is highly concentrated, proper place finding for public parking space with strong means and methods is a must because it will solve the problems related  to parking and will meet relevant needs. Considering above points, the present study has been made for finding suitable places for public parking spaces in district 3 of Karaj metropolitan. In this research, the strong capabilities and analytical functions of   Geographical Information System (GIS) have been used. To be correct and accurate in localization is a very important object in order to have a perfect project. To active this we should use Geographic Information System as a powerful management and data analyzing tools. Although these days, different decision making methods are developed, which will help to designer and decision makers in order to get an exact and fine decision. If these methods apply to analyzing GIS, we could use a great deal of important knowledge from experts to get a better understanding of analyzing. As a matter of fact using of different methods for decision making and expertize will help to expanding abilities to getting a good localizing decision. In general localizing of public parking lot areas in most of places in Iran will evaluate in a traditional way, which will cause to end up having impractical parking lot areas. Even in some cases traffic problems are unavoidable. In this research, first we should find effective criteria, that by doing this we will use experts knowledge and questionnaires. Then after choosing effective criteria, layers of these criteria are made in software in GIS. The deal is the layers should get standardize to a particular way, it means an expectable way to combine different layers; in this study are two binary and fuzzy methods. The weighting of each criteria and sub-criteria will give us an idea of properness with concern to using one of the weighting methods. Obviously we use expertise knowledge in these cases. In this study the criteria are weighted in Analytic Hierarchy Process method (AHP). And then for making spatial analysis the weights are applied to the layers made from the criteria in GIS software pieces. The most important part of this research is combining the proper information layers. Finally, using classical Boolean methods and Overlay methods as well as Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) and Weighted Liner Combination (WLC) Fuzzy method, the suitable places are determined.

        Today, the crisis of the lack of vehicle parking areas, especially in central urban areas, has plagued most large cities, as the lack or shortage of public parking lots because of growing urban development has engendered increased traffic jams, pollution, reduced quality of life in cities, etc. The goal of this study was to employ the Marcus Model to examine 26 public parking lots in the central areas of District 1 of the metropolis of Ahvaz using seven indicators of area, facilities, access, security, beauty, entry fees, and cleanliness through survey methods. The statistical population of the study comprised public parking lot users of the city of Ahvaz. The sample volume was 111 using the KMO and Bartlett’s test. Cronbach’s alpha of 0.861 was estimated for the reliability of the study questionnaire, which measures the accuracy and consistency of the findings. From an innovation perspective, the study aimed to broaden its focus on examining the indicators, as compared to previous research. This is because the effectiveness of each of the indicators under study varied in terms of capacity, place, thinking, user encounter, and officials’ monitoring. Also, one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods (MARCOS Model) was used to explain the study data. Study findings showed that out of the 26 public parking lots in the study area, story parking lots of Karun, Refah, Shaid Fahmide, Nakh, Shahed, etc. with the respective quantitative values of 91.37, 89.45, 87.20, 86.16, and 85.74 ranking first to fifth in terms of the seven indicators examined.

        Today, the problem of the lack of a place to stop vehicles, especially in the central regions of the city, is encountered in most large cities. Public parking as one of the most important components of a modern urban transport system is responsible for providing a level of urban traffic blocking, and thus reduced bustle and traffic jams downtown are responsible.the purpose of this research is to rank the public parking of region 1th of Ahvaz metropolis from the viewpoint of citizens. to achieve this goal, the prioritization control method has been used by TOPSIS technique. the research method is applied in terms of its purpose, its field of study and the nature of the descriptive method. the sample size is 380 according to the Cochran formula. In this research, the central tissue of the metropolitan of Ahvaz has been selected. after identifying and selecting six indicators, beauty, cost, security, accessibility, dispersion and area are ranked by the TOPSIS public parking technique in this region. the results of this research show that Karoon class parking is in the high level in terms of indicators and Nakhl parking, Shahed, Baghmoein, Shahid Fahmidah are in the middle level and Khaligfars Parking, Refah, SahelKaroon, Ghaem, Mahzyar are on the lower level.

        Introduction   With rapid urbanization in recent decades and the increased use of motor vehicles, traffic on city streets has become one of the problems of big cities. In this regard, construction of public parking in the vicinity of urban streets in order to avoid long and about in parks, along streets, is one of effective measures to reduce traffic. The most appropriate location for parking, where parking is most needed to be .The car park will be resolved as well. The car park will be resolved as well. Within the scope of Yazd is based on studies of traffic and transport, including 12 regional and 140 district is that a large part of the important area of ​​the parking problem in the takes. The context for the study of the central city of Yazd is an area that overlaps with a large range of choice is an area of ​​765 hectares and a population of about 50,000 people. Research Methodology   Type of applied research - development of; and descriptive - analytical. Studies of tissue within the central city of Yazd is, for the purpose of parking places, in addition to documents, studies, data from research that were added to the field. After collecting data - field factors were required to locate. Weight each factor from the hierarchical analysis process and then using the GIS overlay of the weight factors combined together and the final map and location of spots that were identified as suitable.  Results   Identifying and tracking the factors that affect the location of, the most important steps are studied. The criteria used to locate parking can be expressed as follows: 1) trip for the absorption (K): are the centers where they travel to various reasons so that it will increase traffic on surrounding streets. 2) required parking space (N): a total of 50 public parking Yazd, only 34 parking within the central tissue or in the streets of this border area is located on Park Place in 1550 only provides for the collection of stationary traffic.      3) Access to the main street (R): parking in the nearby streets to encourage more people to use them and are less confused, and accessing them is easier and faster.  4) being ruined or Bayer (M): Given the historical context of the central city of Yazd, the destruction of some of the places is not possible to construct parking places that are selected are dilapidated, and Bayer. Conclusion   The results of this study are as follows:  1.locate parking in a number of factors are involved in all aspects of the analysis is not possible with traditional methods. The other hand, neglect of these factors contributed to a significant waste of material resources and the environment and serious injuries to people and urban management will be imposed. Thus the use of information technology, particularly geographic information systems to analyze large volumes of data, is essential. 2. Given the high cost of land in central and commercial area of ​​town is best, parking will be constructed in the class because despite the poor infrastructure, large parking space and also create economic justification of accept. 3.Use of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geography information system (GIS) and combined it with logic overlap index (IO) in  the optimal location is a high performance site. This allows for comparing and evaluating different locations can be optimized according to specific criteria. It should be added to this landuse.   4. Use of technology to manage a city when it is realized that the spatial and descriptive data with the accuracy needed to be there. So in order to retrieve and access information quickly, forming a centralized database is essential. GIS systems are able to manage large volumes of diverse data, with the lowest possible cost, reliable forecasts of the city managers are.   Manuscript profile
