Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to locate sports for the classification of development criteria using the Buffer method in the GIS environment (Kermanshah case study). In order to start evaluating the proportionality of the areas of Kermanshah city in order to build sports sites, a combined use of spatial information system functions and the buffer analysis process was chosen. First, criteria were defined for all the data based on previous research studies and the opinions of respected urban management and planning experts. turns After the reclassification of the criteria, with the overlap of the defined indicators and the geometric multiplication of the selected layers, the zoning map of Kermanshah city was created in order to establish a sports use. In this regard, there are eight criteria: distance from urban facilities and equipment, distance from fueling stations, distance from medical use, distance from fire stations, distance from green space, distance from educational use, access to transportation communication network and location. It was selected in the limits of high density. In this regard, the potential measurement map of the areas of Kermanshah city for the construction of a sports site using the buffer method was shown. After combining the maps, suitable areas for the construction of the sports site were identified in three sites with areas of 69,685, 33,240 and 31,821 square meters. The results showed that there was no special clustering in Kermanshah. Rather, it has been identified scattered in three different areas of Kermanshah by ArcGIS software.
