Abstract

The present study is to achieve the goal of locating sport spaces utilizing a combination of analyzing hierarchal process (AHP) and the logic of layer valuation (Index overlay) in geographical information system GIS in the limited area of Gorgan city. Research methodology was type a descriptive - analytic. The statistical society of this research includes all of the sporting venues of Gorgan city which have been selected. in order to locating the new sport spaces 5 criterion (application radius, population accumulation, building accumulation, the distance from road and distance from present space areas) has been used in this manner. After specifying the weight of different layers and criteria and prioritizing different informational layers using AHP and finally overlapping layers in GIS software, appropriate places was specified for building new spaces. The results showed that the five places to create a new sports spaces Suggested in Gorgan that the two locations in East and South-East, Two locations in West and South West and one location in the northern city of Gorgan Are located.
