Abstract

Accurate and optimal location of all types of facilities and uses has become a necessary and undeniable matter. In the creation and construction of military sites, all factors, both natural and human, should be taken into account in order to prevent unnecessary expenses and waste of manpower, capital and time with a long-term planning. It has many achievements in the field of agricultural development, tourism, including the creation of military centers. The current research is to investigate the effective criteria in choosing the location of the military sites of the province in Kabudarahang city, the results of which can be of great help to the extensive and scientific research of other researchers in the military and geopolitical fields; The method used in this research is descriptive-analytical with the combined use of Fuzzy-AHP hierarchical analysis decision-making models in the geographic information system environment and the use of library resources including scientific-research articles in this field and research It is the field of writers. The results obtained after forming pairwise comparisons and calculating the fuzzy and normal weights and obtaining the final weight of the sub-criteria indicate the high influence of the sub-criteria such as topography with a weight of 0.236, the existence of enough land for expansion with a weight of 0.213 and reliance on natural effects with a weight of 0.187 in choosing the most appropriate place for the establishment of military sites, it was studied that it is necessary for the relevant stakeholders to consider the mentioned items in the future planning.
