Abstract
Easy availability to public libraries is one of the main keys in successful presentation of public library services with high quality will be valueless for those have not access to them. Availability to services should be configured in such a way that maximizes easiness and facility for potential and de facto users. In present research the required number of public libraries and establishment situation of public libraries in Saqqez city in Kurdistan province in North West of Iran were investigated and evaluated by using fuzzy set theory and SPOT 5 satellite images in 2009. In addition, optimum regions for generation of new public libraries were distinguished in city area in form of recommended map. Results showed that weighting variables classes were determined between 0-1 (profusion proportion). Fuzzification each one of effective factors using IDRISI software terminated and after was assigned type and shape membership function. Final map of suitable regions for construction of new public libraries in saqqez city area indicates that none of the libraries were situated in suitable regions.

Summary
Libraries manifest a community’s intellectual and cultural identity. They are a place for learning and a repository for a community’s past. We have observed numerous researches about localization of city services through GIS models in site selection of public libraries. Zangi (1992) investigated the situation of public libraries and access to them in Kerman city He localized the presents and future public libraries in Kerman city by using Geographical information station. Rangzan et al (2009) localized public libraries of Ahvaz Township by using geographical information station models and hierarchical analysis and fuzzy logic. The present research will investigate and evaluate the present situation of public libraries establishment place in Ahvaz city with localization components super impossibly and represent consistent and incompatible regions in form of syncretistic maps. According to localization components, this research recommended some regions for construction new public libraries in city area.
