Abstract

the aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of city form on fuel consumption in Karaj metropolis. The data and information required for the research have been collected in two ways: library (study of documents, plans, articles, etc.) and referring to related organizations (municipality, National Petroleum Products Distribution Company, etc.). In order to analyze the data, G statistical test and the Moran model were used to determine the pattern of gasoline consumption in Karaj, and geographic weight regression (GWR) was used to determine the spatial variation between city form variables (mixing, accessibility) and gasoline consumption. The results showed that central neighborhoods of areas 5,1,7,8,9 such as; Dehghan Villas 1 and2, Hyderabad, western Golshahr 1 and 2, Movahedan town, eastern Golshahr, Mehrvila and Karmandan dormitory have the highest accessibility index, and Mehrshahr suburbs, districts 10 and 6 have the lowest accessibility index to services, administrative, commercial, educational. Also, according to the value; 462 / 10Z-Scorse = and the value of P-Value = 0, it was determined that the pattern of gasoline consumption in Karaj is clustered. Also, the value of R2 of the accessibility variable is equal to 0.88. That is, the city form index according to this variable at the 95% confidence level justifies 88% of gasoline consumption. The value of R2 of the user mixing variable is equal to 0.87. That is, according to this variable at the 95% confidence level the city form index justifies 87% of gasoline consumption.
