Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to survey the geographical location of sport facilities of Rasht by using GIS system.
Methodology: This is a descriptive- analytical study. The statistical sample was all sports facilities in Rasht, including 148 public and private sport facilities. The Descriptive data was collected through GPS instrument in GIS information basis by using records, documents and research data and field studies. Then, for each of the indicators which influenced the positioning of sport facilities, the layers were prepared. After composing and analyzing all the layers with each other, the current position of sport facilities were evaluated and finally the most appropriate locations were proposed by using AHP.
Results: The results of study showed that from 148 sport facilities, 26 cases did not regarding one, two or three boundary rules (river, gas pipes and power transmission lines), which was equivalent 18 percent of all sports facilities in Rasht. Also 122 places, equivalent to 82 percent, regard the boundary rules. In terms of practical radius, few of the facilities followed the expected standards. Also in terms of population density, distribution of large sport facilities comparing to small and medium size, were unsuitable.
Conclusion: The final results which inferred from this study showed that most of the sport places regarding space in the restricted area have unsuitable conditions; however a few cases are appropriate. This is because of the non-using of new and computerize ways in finding places by sport managers.
