Abstract
Shelter is one of the fundamental human needs, and since the city of Tabriz has been repeatedly devastated by earthquakes, spatial–physical planning for locating temporary housing centers is essential. District 4 of Tabriz, characterized by high population density and a dominant residential land use pattern, has been selected as the case study. The main objective of this research is spatial–physical planning for temporary housing through site selection in the study area. The research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive–analytical in terms of methodology. In the identification phase, site selection criteria were derived from library studies, including the Regulations of Crisis Management for Temporary Housing Site Selection (Tehran Disaster Prevention and Management Organization) and the Guidelines for Locating Vital and Sensitive Centers (Malek Ashtar University of Technology). A questionnaire was used to score the criteria within the case study. The data were analyzed using the IHWP fuzzy (Inverse Hierarchical Weighting Process) model in GIS software. Thirteen criteria were used, including distance from faults, land use compatibility, population density, road accessibility, number of floors, access to multifunctional centers, access to green spaces, access to medical centers, access to fire stations, building materials, building quality, building age, and distance from fuel distribution centers. The results show that in District 4 of Tabriz Municipality, 3% of the area is highly suitable, 15.9% suitable, 40.43% moderately suitable, 28.74% unsuitable, and 8.96% completely unsuitable for locating temporary housing centers. Among the five sub-districts of District 4, sub-districts 1 and 5 have the highest suitability, while sub-districts 3 and 4 have the lowest. Finally, several strategies and recommendations are proposed.
