Abstract

Rivers besides the positive effects of the rivers in the areas, there are also risks that, if not paid attention to them, can cause a lot of damage. Accordingly, in this research, the geometric status of the river studied and the proper use of the marginal areas of the river are determined based on the morphology of the region. In this research, the aerial photographs of 1360 and satellite imagery of 1397 have been used to investigate river changes. In accordance with the objectives, using ARCGIS and Auto Cat software, the first step was to investigate the morphological status of the river and then using the fuzzy logic and AHP combination model to zoning the areas suitable for the development of residential, agricultural and green spaces. The results of the survey of the morphology of the river indicate that the second period is closer to the first period than the Meander River, and the river in general has tended towards the Meander over time. Also, the study of the displacement rate indicates that the first open with 32.66 km long has an average of 33.3 meters, and the second interval with 27.17 km long has an average of 17.2 meters displacement. In addition, the results of zoning of the marginal areas of the river indicate the proportion of the western margin of the river for the use of residential, agricultural lands and green spaces.
