Abstract :

Background & Objectives: Locating to develop infrastructures and sensitive applications is one of the preconditions for achieving sustainable development. In this study, using a multi-criteria decision making model and the capabilities of the GIS, a spatial model is developed for the development of various industrial groups in the province of Alborz.Material and Methodology: In this study, the criteria and indicators affecting the development of industries identified by reviewing the references and expert opinions. Then, using the fuzzy hierarchical analysis, the weight of each of the criteria and indicators was determined using the weight the obtained data are based on a linear relationship between the map of areas susceptible to industrial development in the region. In order to the fuzzy hierarchy TOPSIS method used to identify the areas for the development of each the industrial groups.Findings: The results of this study show that among the three groups of environmental, economic and social criteria, environmental criteria have the highest weight in relation to industrial development. Also, the results showed that the highest potential in relation to the development of industrial groups in the Alborz province is related to food and agriculture industries.Discussion and Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, using efficient fuzzy decision-making models to address the defects of other decision-making methods. Analysis of the results shows that in many parts of the province of Alborz, there is no development of industries. The most limitation for development of industries in Alborz province is related to environmental criteria and indicators.
