Abstract


As  we  Know, all of  the  urban  regions  are  developed  by  increasing  population, social- economical  activities  and  also  demands  for  exploiting  facilities  and  infrastructure  in  those  areas. Transportation  is  one  of  the  infrastructure  facing  the  increase  of  demands  in  cities. Referring  to  this  matter, it  can  be  understood  that  most  of  the  cities  in  developing  countries  as  Iran, having  developed  considerably  during  the  recent  decades, include  different  problems  in  intra  city  transportation. So, they should change their public transport system.

"Hamedan"  is  a  city, while  developing, has  had  a  special  situation  in  extending  travels  or  journeys, up  to  now, but  it  cannot  provide  enough  welfare  services  for  its  own  citizens. In  other  words, this  city  is  lacking  improved  transportation  systems  to  be  able  to  meet  these  needs  or  demands. Because  of  this, it  seems  necessary  the  transport  planning  processes  the  so -  called  city  to  be  corrected. According  to  the  investigation  here, since  there  are  not  any  intra  city  railroads  in  "Hamedan"  and  citizens  have  no  choice  except  travelling  to  other  cities  by  bus, it  will  be  essential  to  improve  this  system.

Developing  the  transportation  system  and  the  level  of  urban  activities  in  the  central  part  of  "Hamedan "   during  the  past  90  years  have  been  caused  by  the  radius  Plan  implemented  within  urbanization  processes  in  this  period  of  time.  Moreover, the  quality  of  bus  service  system  in  that  city  has  decreased  because  of  increasing  population, traffic, urban  trips  and  demands  for  travelling  through  the  city  center. The  main  aim  of  this  study  is  to  analyze  the  bus  service  transport  system  in   " Hamedan"   city  center  applying  a  geographical  information  structures  and  present  some  suggestions  for  bus  lanes  to  be  modified  in  this  part, too.

Key words:
