Financial and commercial centers (i.e. banks and financial and credit institutes) are considered as an important activity of urban spaces and paying attention to their location and installation site is one of the most important parameters in their success and beneficence. In this study, in order to identify the optimal location for installation of financial and commercial centers the RBFLN neural Network which is a transformed model of Radius Based Function neural Network (RBFNN) was used in combine with ORESTE multi-criteria technique. Two and multi-classes data of economic, commercial, educational, cultural, sanitary, therapeutic, recreational, administrative, population, and transition were entered to the neural network as multi-dimensional vectors based on radius of influence. 69 sample branches and 34 un-optimal points were used for network’s learning. The results indicates the two- classes RBFLN network with 800 repetition times with the least learning and classification error as the most appropriate class in identifying the optimal places for installation of financial and commercial centers (Screening Phase).

Land use planning in border cities is a national problem and a national problem can not be solved with some minor attitudes. National problems that require national commitment and wisdom. In this study, the trends in land use planning and development in border cities with ANP method of sub-criteria and multi-criteria decision making approach to prioritize development and to identify spatial planning in border areas.it would be prioritized treatment spatial land use programs in two levels of criteria. spatial planning criteria (4 criteria or objective) and sub criteria (9 sub criteria with 30 indicators) with respect to the environment and the regional border city of East Azarbaijan Province was selected. The result of computation network analysis among several approaches of East Azarbaijan in first stage is determine economic Development approaches with sub criteria facilities and infrastructure, health, transportation and communications, economic activities and environmental, and second stage is develop diplomatic relations and national security and third stage is cultural and social development.

One of the basic and important fundament of sustainable development is Land use planning and use of appropriated with environmental characteristic and use correct of natural sources in the region and country. Ardabil province is one of the regions that its land use in some of its places is not appropriated with ecological potential, especially in the Lands which they are under cultivation. Therefore, this article have intend to analogy of land use now with ecological potential in the province. To prepare the map of land use, utilized the ETM and ASTER image sensor 2002 and so used from information layers in the linked organizations and ground survey. Analogy of ecological potential in the province is done in the GIS and according to method of Makhduom of course with slightly changes. We compared the ecological potential with land use of the province by overlying of different layers. The maps of region’s ecological potential were prepared with overlying of different layers by combine code in GIS. The Results show there is disagreement in the Dry farming areas with ecological potential. In other words, that is 37% fields of dry farming and 6.7% cultivate in the country of Ardabil not agreement with ecological potential.
