Employment of Multiple Spatial Analyses in GIS Software to Determine the Optimal Location for Urban Use in South Mazar
Keywords:
spatial analyses, Geographic Information System (GIS), optimal location, Southern Mazar regionAbstract
The research is devoted to show the importance of the applications of
Geographic Information System (GIS) and the role of the tools of one of its
related software, namely, the ArcGis10 through its multi- spatial analyses
of the geographic layers. The software enables the utilization of scientific
procedures to analyze and plan well for the optimization of the natural and
environmental recourses to achieve the best for the benefit of the society.
Such research is based on multi- spatial analyses in order to build model
using a database comprising of the environmental resources data of Southern
Mazar region. The model in use is determined for the optimal location for
residential usage of the area based on predefined criteria.
The multi- spatial analyses of the geographic layers resulted in a map
that shows the optimal location for residential usage. Out of many villages
covered by the study, only one village fitted into the optimal location. The
analyses reveal that only one village fitted into the optimal location, while
the remaining existing villages are located in inappropriate places, which
confirm that the residents of Muta town have lost $ 5 million since 1970, due
to the construction in areas not fit with the urban usage standards.
The work proved the virtue of the geographic databases and the multispatial
analyses whenever decisions are taken in a way that is very much
reflected on the welfare of the residents whether now or in the future. It is
found that it is indispensable to avoid the haphazard routines that lead to
catastrophic outcomes. People should rely on scientific organization and
planning that are based on standards appropriate for the optimal usage
of the land.
