Investigating the effect of environmental indicators on the optimal location of industrial estates (Case Study: Malayer)

With the increase in population, the need for growth and development of industrial centers is felt more than ever. On the other hand, changes in the environment have accelerated due to significant population growth and have a certain extent, so that today environmental indicators have a direct and indirect impact on all human activities. Due to the fact that location requires accurate information, a large amount of detailed information to introduce different locations must be collected, combined and analyzed in order to properly assess the factors that may affect the selection. The present study seeks to investigate the impact of environmental indicators such as population centers, topography, geomorphological status, groundwater and vegetation status in locating areas for the construction of Malayer industrial town by using hierarchical analysis. After determining the indices and comparing the preference of the indices, according to the adjustment rate, the indices are weighted and then the results are overlapped based on the multiplication, addition, sharing and fuzzy community operators, and finally, the final map for determining the optimal position For the construction of an industrial town based on environmental indicators has been obtained using the method of hierarchical analysis. The results of the present study show that, considering all the environmental factors affecting the location of the industrial town of Malayer city and weighting each of the indicators by AHP weighting method, the southern and southwestern parts of Malayer city are the most suitable place for the construction of the industrial town. Is considered and among the environmental indicators studied in this study, vegetation index with a weight of ۰.۴۳۱ is the most important factor and geomorphological index with a weight of ۰.۰۸۳ is the least important index in locating the industrial town of Malayer city.
