Efficiency of distributing fuel stations in the city of Damascususing GIS technology.

Abstract

Gas stations are distributed as a spatial phenomenon on the roads and streets, and they gain their importance from the importance of the service they provide to means of transportation (vehicles of all kinds). In order to increase the spatial efficiency of the distribution of these stations, they must be distributed in a planned and studied manner to ensure the achievement of their spatial efficiency. Therefore, the research aims to spatial analysis. To distribute gas stations in the city of Damascus to achieve adequacy in terms of distribution.

  The research adopted the approach of scientific description and analysis of information and geographic data related to gas stations to reach the best results.

The research used the mathematical and statistical method represented by spatial analysis of gas stations, which included measuring the average center point, and using the nearest neighbor comparison to analyze the patterns of

spatial distribution of gas stations, based on modern technologies represented in the use of geographic information systems (GIS) to build a spatial information base and develop purposeful maps. And statistical analyses. The spatial efficiency of gas stations was also measured according to planning and geographical standards, and their ideal distribution was given.
