Abstract
This study aims to nominate a suitable location for a new fire station in Baquba District Eastern Iraq. The suitability model was selected using GIS-based on five criteria layers including the roads, hospital, existing fire stations, population, and police stations. All the dataset was processed using ArcGIS 10. The criteria layers were standardized using fuzzy liner membership (FLM) and then combined to produce the final fire station suitability map using the fuzzy overlay method. The study area divided into three classes namely: unsuitable, low suitability, and high suitability according to the five criteria applied. The study shows the efficiency of the fuzzy overlay method for multi-criteria spatial modeling based on the fuzzy logic principle. The Fuzzy overlay defines the membership using the liner function on each of the input rasters.
