Abstract :
Increasing urban population and followed by the physical development of cities, explain how to control thedevelopment of towns and cities need to plan for future development based on sustainable developmentprinciples. Nir city in Ardabil province was located in 39 km west of Ardabil capital. In this study, locations anddirections for future development based on land use planning has been evaluated. Determining of suitable landfor development of normal variables using hierarchical process (AHP) in GIS (GIS) was used. These variablesinclude the slope, topography, lithology, distance to faults, underground water depth, land use and the landform.Finally, with extraction of units and environmental assessment based on ecological criteria, potential capabilitywas estimated for development in the study area. The results of this study showed that the most suitabledevelopment sites in the study area are located to the south. The results of this study showed that thecombination of analytic hierarchy process and the ability of GIS to develop a reliable method to determine asuitable location can be used by researchers.
