Industrial application is one of the applications whose proper layout can protect the natural and human environment from the negative effects of the deployment of industrial use. Hence, in this study, considering the standards of safety and accessibility of natural and human criteria in the city of Ardabil, a land zoning of Ardabil was carried out to determine the appropriate location for the establishment of industries. The research was conducted with application purposes in mind, and in terms of its nature and method, it was a descriptive and analytical research, which means that using the existing standards, the industries are located in the studied area. The results of this research indicate that the lands suitable for the establishment of industry of 43720 hectares of land are included in the study area. Given that the AHP model only has the ability to identify suitable and unsuitable areas for the establishment of industries and cannot determine priority and preference fo the deployment of industries in the appropriate places, the capabilities of the ARC MAP software were used to identify and isolate entire areas suitable for at least 200 hectares. Using the VIKOR model and the 8 effective criteria for locating industries, he identified areas were prioritized. The results of the research show that the current location of the industry in the city of Ardabil is in conflict with the optimal areas identified. Also, 6 new areas for the establishment of industrial units in the Ardebil district were identified and prioritized for the establishment of industries in these areas.

To achieve a sustainable society, it is necessary to recognize the levels of vulnerabilities versus natural risks and root the causes of socio-physical differences. Based on this, recognizing vulnerability and socio-spatial pattern of that is the base of policy making toward reducing vulnerability and increasing resiliency. The objective of this research is to evaluate and rank the levels of socio-physical vulnerability of Ardabil province counties versus earthquake. This research from view of objective is applied and from view of nature and research method is a descriptive - analytic study. The required data for the study has been gathered from the reports of population and housing sections of national census center. To rank the counties in terms of distribution index, TOPSIS and to express the relationship between variables geographical weighted regression (GWR) has been used. The results of research indicate that in terms of social vulnerability Pars Abad County is on the very high zone and Ardabil County is on the very low zone. In contract, in terms of physical vulnerability, Meshkin County is on the very high zone and Ardabil County is on the very low zone. The results of combination of social and physical indexes in TOPSIS model showed that, Ardabil County with score of 0.580 is on the very low zone and Meshkin County with score of 0.411 is on the very high zone of vulnerability. Finally analysis of geographical weighted regression (GWR) indicated that there is direct and significant relationship between population and vulnerability.
