Kamu tesislerinin uygunluğunun AHP tabanlı değerlendirilmesi: Kayseri Melikgazi örneği

Public facilities in urban areas, such as those for health and education, are expected to meet various humanitarian requirements. It is important to ensure that these facilities are suitable in all aspects in the urban areas. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the suitability of public facilities proposed by zoning plans in the study area of Melikgazi District, Kayseri Province, by integrating Analytic Hierarchy Process and Geographic Information Systems. To evaluate the suitability, health facilities, green areas, kindergarten areas, primary school areas, secondary school areas, high schools and mosque areas proposed in the zoning plan were analyzed by considering the main criteria and sub-criteria determined within the scope of population density, transportation facilities and technical infrastructure services. The criteria were reclassified with Geographic Information Systems using the Analytic Hierarchy Process to calculate weight values for the Weighted Overlay and Weighted Sum analyses. The analyses identified non-suitable areas, suitable areas, and very high suitable areas. The study area was evaluated comparatively for each public facility using Weighted Overlay and Weighted Sum analyses to identify areas with suitable results and those in need of new public facilities. The results indicate that the primary school and mosque areas have suitable results, but other public facilities are still needed in areas close to the center with high population density.
