Site Selection of Military Airport from the Point of View of Passive Defense Using AHP Method (Case Study: Jolfa City)

Positioning is very important as a suitable platform for achieving the goals and objectives of passive defense. Incorrect positioning of airports causes a lot of human and financial damage in wartime and even in peacetime, and another important point is the necessity of locating a military airport with a multipurpose approach that is, in peacetime for the transportation of passengers and goods and in wartime as a warehouse for goods and Ammunition must be used. The main goal of this research is to reach an airport location model and evaluate the indicators included in it using a scientific method and finally choose the best place to build a military airport in Jolfa city. The type of applied research and descriptive-analytical research method and data collection tools are documentary studies and interviews with elites and experts and questionnaires, which were selected as a statistical sample using targeted sampling. The data analysis method is the hierarchical analysis (AHP) in the Expert Choice software. The results of the research show that the first zone among these classes, mainly in the eastern and central part of the studied area, is considered unacceptable for the construction of a military airport and the main reason for this is the presence of regional faults in this area and the proximity to the river. It is bordered by Aras. The fourth and fifth zones are suitable and completely suitable for the construction of a military airport, which are mainly located in parts of the western half and especially in the northwest of the area, and the mentioned zones are considered to be far away from the faults of the region and the Aras River, and the existence of a suitable slope. Appropriate access and privacy to residential areas and compliance of areas based on aviation, physical, economic and environmental standards and the principles of passive defense are suggested as the most suitable places for the construction of a military airport in Jolfa city.
