Abstract

Urban growth modeling is a helpful tool to implement more informed decisions based on environmental standards and capabilities. This study aimed to develop a new multi-criteria decision approach for zoning of urban development land use in Zanjan Township, Iran. Effective criteria for urban development were identified from the literature. Then, the hybrid multi-criteria decision model of weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) was applied for criteria weighting. Finally, these criteria were combined in a geographical information system (GIS) environment and urban development zones were determined. The results indicated that the central and eastern parts of the target area with an area of 232,127 hectares had the most suitable zones for urban development. Areas identified based on the results were consistent with field visits and the findings of experts. The above approach can provide more opportunities for urban planners and decision-makers to make decisions in the top levels of urban management requirements for all aspects.

加权总积评价与地理信息系统在城市发展区划中的应用

城市增长模型是一个有用的工具，有助于根据环境标准和能力实施更明智的决策。本研究旨在为伊朗赞詹镇的城市发展用地分区制定一种新的多标准决策方法。从文献中确定了城市发展的有效标准。然后，采用加权总和积评价的混合多准则决策模型(WASPAS)对准则进行加权。最后，在地理信息系统(GIS)环境中结合这些标准，确定城市开发区。结果表明，东中部232,127公顷的目标区域最适宜城市发展。根据结果确定的领域与实地访问和专家的调查结果一致。上述方法可以为城市规划者和决策者提供更多的机会，在城市管理各方面需求的顶层进行决策。

期刊介绍： The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science expands the frontiers of regional science through the diffusion of intrinsically developed and advanced modern, regional science methodologies throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Articles published in the journal foster progress and development of regional science through the promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary academic studies in relationship to research in regional science across the globe. The journal’s scope includes articles dedicated to theoretical economics, positive economics including econometrics and statistical analysis and input–output analysis, CGE, Simulation, applied economics including international economics, regional economics, industrial organization, analysis of governance and institutional issues, law and economics, migration and labor markets, spatial economics, land economics, urban economics, agricultural economics, environmental economics, behavioral economics and spatial analysis with GIS/RS data education economics, sociology including urban sociology, rural sociology, environmental sociology and educational sociology, as well as traffic engineering. The journal provides a unique platform for its research community to further develop, analyze, and resolve urgent regional and urban issues in Asia, and to further refine established research around the world in this multidisciplinary field. The journal invites original articles, proposals, and book reviews.The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a new English-language journal that spun out of Chiikigakukenkyuu, which has a 45-year history of publishing the best Japanese research in regional science in the Japanese language and, more recently and more frequently, in English. The development of regional science as an international discipline has necessitated the need for a new publication in English. The Asia-Pacific Journal of Regional Science is a publishing vehicle for English-language contributions to the field in Japan, across the complete Asia-Pacific arena, and beyond.Content published in this journal is peer reviewed (Double Blind).
