LOCATING THE WASTE TRANSFERRING STATIONS BY USING GIS TOWARDS ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE CITY; CASE STUDY: HISTORICAL FABRIC OF YAZD CITY, IRAN?

One of the fundamental concepts in urban sustainable development is the influence of green spaces and sustaining environment on cities as it has an exceptional impact on achieving to a sustainable city. Today’s living requires recognition of historical textures and cultural wealth’s which has adverted urban modernism and its new theoretical ideas. However, improving new service facilities such as electricity, gas and water requires careful planning which must be embedded with old historical texture conditions. This successful process leads to proper places for transforming waste stations throughout the city and improvement of living condition. For instance using geographical information system, "GIS" solves such historical texture issues. These placements of new waste station not only provides a better waste collection but also supplies a multipurpose facility station to access distinction able waste, an educational tool, and healthier environment. As a result, this process has been studied and successfully implemented in the historical city of Yazd to facilitate transforming waste station around historical texture issues.
