Abstract
As a metropolitan area located in the north of Iran, Rasht is among the cities where the transportation network currently suffers from a major deficiency in parking space. Locating the activities without considering the parking use has gradually caused this issue to be emerged as an urban dilemma. In addition to identifying the existing situation of the parking spaces in the city in terms of the ability to meet the traffic demand, the present paper aims to optimally locate these spaces in the areas where the parking construction is required. For this purpose, an integrated set of effective measures is developed for assessing the current situation. Also, the fuzzy AHP questionnaire is used to collect expert opinions about the importance coefficient of the criteria selected in the research. The zoning maps are generated for the situation of selected criteria contributing to the location of parking spaces in the study area using the final weight of the criteria and the GIS software. Finally, the appropriate zones are located for the construction of parking spaces.
