  Since the beginning of the twentieth century, many countries have changed their capitals. Capital cities are the heart of any political system that those being threatened can lead to collapse of the political system of the country. That is why locating the capital of each country, as the center of authority and persistence of political structure is very important. The main objective of this study is to identify and prioritize the criteria and factors that affect in relocating the capital of the country. This article’s type is analytical – descriptive and will attempt to find effective indicators and criteria and importance of each by using expert opinion. Thus, 18 main criteria that affect locating of capitals detected; including the following four categories of criteria for environmental-natural, socio-cultural, security-defense, economic-political. Then using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Thomas L. Saaty’s binary comparison matrix to determine the coefficients to rank importance of the indices and criteria studied. The results show that among the main criteria, environmental criteria (weight 0.423) as compared to defensive, social and economic criteria is more important. Among the sub-criteria, four indicators "not being exposed to earthquake and fault zone (with coefficient = 0.179)", "appropriate access to surface water and groundwater (0.123)", "being far away from nuclear centers (0.120)" and " the rate of social crime (0.080)" are the most important weights of elements in the selection process of suitable location for the capital. In addition, based on these findings it can be stated that the selection or locating of the capital; more than 50 percent, depends on these four factors.   Manuscript profile

  Following the many urban and geographical problems of Tehran, the issue of transferring the capital as a solution has been the focus of attention in academic circles and government institutions, and, in the meantime, one of the discussions was to find a suitable place to move the capital and to measure the components needed for this new place. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of changing capital by emphasizing the approach of spatial analysis and the optimal system of urban planning. For this purpose, the study of prime urban indicators, urban hierarchy, and finally the study of the impact of physical-functional, economic, and socio-cultural components on urban spatial organization was used. The results of this study show that spatial planning of geographical and urban space with an emphasis on the components of spatial analysis and also the characteristics of the optimal urban planning system is the most important and most challenging one. Parts of the capital transfer plan will go to you in the future. According to the objectives of the research and the results obtained, four scenarios were proposed for the capital transfer plan.
