Abstract
In recent times, many cities have clustered new sports infrastructures in concentrated areas to create a sports city. Al Hillah City as one of the biggest cities in the center of Iraq, because of many components' countryside relocation and natural expansion of population, and other has been distinguished; extreme population expansion and lastly evolution in need of planning in some inner-city areas and places. Consequently, designated areas in terms of premier spatial allocation and appropriate location for users of general services; sports services that are rapid, on time, and at ease access to them are essential that are not considered. A small- scale recognition has spent on critical aspects of sports utilization for land measure and appropriately locating. This issue has been minimized the premier performance of these spaces and creates problems for the city and its citizens. The premier performance of these spaces has been minimized because of the above-mentioned issue, which creates difficulties for the city and its residents. This research conducted based on the integration between Fuzzy logic algorithm and GIS techniques, spatial analysis tools in ArcGIS software were utilized to implement this method. The results showed that the most suitable areas include three areas that are located on the north-west and the south of the study area. On the other hand, the largest area located on the north-west location respect to Al-Hillah city, the center of Babylon Province, which is considered the proposed area to construct sports city. This study will be useful for decision-makers and stockholders by reducing cost, time, and efforts through decreasing field works.

The recent development in urban planning, which represented by the development of multi-criteria decision making through spatial analysis techniques shows a feasibility in the spatial decision making process, spatial analysis techniques [2,3,4] the present study is conducted to utilize the spatial analysis techniques based on the integration of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms (Fuzzy logic algorithm) and geomatics techniques (Geographic Information System, Global Position System, and satellite images) to support the multi-criteria decision-making process and planning to determine the suitability of lands for establishing a sports city in a region mainly located within Babil Governorate with some parts from Karbala and Najaf Governorates
Our study showed that the integration between machine learning algorithms and Geomatics techniques are very useful to support the decision-making process in the site selection field
Summary
A sports activity is considered one of the main leisure activities in modern human's lives. Little attention has considered sports land-use criteria and proper location that may reduce the optimal performance of these areas and leads to problems in the future. The recent development in urban planning, which represented by the development of multi-criteria decision making through spatial analysis techniques shows a feasibility in the spatial decision making process, spatial analysis techniques [2,3,4] the present study is conducted to utilize the spatial analysis techniques based on the integration of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms (Fuzzy logic algorithm) and geomatics techniques (Geographic Information System, Global Position System, and satellite images) to support the multi-criteria decision-making process and planning to determine the suitability of lands for establishing a sports city in a region mainly located within Babil Governorate with some parts from Karbala and Najaf Governorates.
