ABSTRACT:The study aims at qualifying the new sites, which are consistent with the relevant construction standards, for building neighbourhood parks. Accordingly, the Analytic Network Process (ANP) was employed. In this technique, the relationships among various elements and clusters are examined with the aim of finding the optimum site. Hence, the eleven elements namely land area, population density (people per km2), household density, household dimension, slope, the distance between the site and the residential, cultural and educational centres, access to major thoroughfares and roads, the distance away from rivers and watercourses, the distance away from the present parks and green spaces. Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to define the relationships among the mentioned elements and then the pair wise comparisons were conducted using questionnaires. Finally, Super Decisions was used to measure the final coefficients of all elements. The spatial information of all elements including their impacts on park building were classified using Arc GIS and then the weights gained from ANP were applied to them and eventually the final map was depicted. The results suggests that some parts of districts 1, 4, 7, 9, and 13 in Bonab City are the best sites for building neighbourhood parks which must be considered in the urban planning projects.

Keywords:Neighbourhood parks, Bonab, Analytic Network Process (ANP), green spaces, optimum location.
