Abstract
The present study was designed with an applied approach and a descriptive-analytical method in order to analyze the land suitability of Ardabil city in order to select the optimal location of sport for all sites. In this research process different areas of Ardebil city have been studied in terms of 4 general components of land characteristics and location, land use compatibility, density, per capita and operational radius and accessibility desirability. Librarian and field methods (direct observation method) were used to collect research data and information. ARCGIS 10.4 software is used to prepare the required survey maps and data analysis, to determine the degree of importance of each of the research criteria by pairwise comparison of hierarchical analysis model (AHP) and Expert Choice software is used to standardize benchmark maps of fuzzy membership functions and to overlap standardized weighted indices using the VIKOR model. The results of the analysis are presented in the form of suggestions for creating sport sites in the neighborhoods of Zaernas, Karshenasan Town and Dampezeshki Neighborhood. Among the sites introduced by the two sites in Zaernas town and Karshenasan will be able to create green rings for holding family walking conferences.
