Abstract

Today, in urban planning, land suitability analysis for urban expansion and identifying suitable land for their PHYSICAL EXPANSION is important. Therefore, the aim of this research is to identify suitable lands for future expansion of FIROOZABAD city and to put an emphasis on capability of geographic information system (GIS) in presenting optimum PHYSICAL EXPANSION pattern of this city. The methodology of this research is descriptive – analytical and in order to identify suitable land for PHYSICAL EXPANSION of the city, the present status of the city and its physical typology has been studied. Then, after collecting required information and using ANALYSIS HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) in GIS software and after various stages including entering variables and parameters, providing new information layers, classification and valuation of variables and information layers and composition of the layers, suitable places for future expansion were determined. Considered variables and information layers in determining suitable land for future urban expansion consist of the land capability, elevations, slope, communication networks, faults, slope direction, cemeteries, rivers, historical monuments and rural areas around the city layers. Results of the study show that expansion of FIROOZABAD city is linear and irregular, and there is an urgent need for locating suitable lands for future expansion of city. Therefore and according to the location, these lands are mainly located in the south, south east and east of the city and these lands have better position than other parts for future expansion of city and otherwise, with the natural and artificial limitations, are not applicable for future urban expansion.
