Adfanced spatial analysis of the reality of the geographical distribution of the malls in the city of Baghdad

Abstract

The study has dealt with the subject of spatial analysis of commercial centers closed (malls) in the city of Baghdad by using the Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The study shows the variation for the distribution of malls in different places in the city of Baghdad. As it has been the adoption of software technologies (ArcMap and ArcCataloge) as it has been the establishment of a geographical database and remote sensing and the use of GIS capabilities in advanced analysis in the collection and production of accurate site maps. When conducting the spatial analysis of the reality of the geographical distribution of the ports, the analysis of the standard distance shows that the malls are located within the center of Baghdad and has got municipalities Al Mansour ,Al Karrada and Al Ghadir top municipalities in distances. And done using the nearest neighbor analysis, the distribution is scatter, which is less than the random pattern and aggregates in certain areas.But the analysis of the campus in a way that reveals(Buffer) the relationship between the distance and the phenomenon shows determine the impact points of moles on the population and the surrounding area within Bamol (500-1500) m,then it was found that the impact areas are high for the Malls and have a high impact on the surroundings of the towers . As we conclude from the method of weighted inverted analysis that the nature of the spread of the apostates graduated from the center of the city to the outside and irregularly and is centered around the areas of high income level and through the implementation of Krnging shows that the number of apostates tends to fragmentation and concentrated in the areas of Al-Mansour , Al-Karkh and Karrada.
