%X Extended 1- IntroductionEach year Genaveh Port receives millions of tourists (2302154 people in Nowruz Holidays in 1390) from all over the country for its tourist attractions and trade and recreation centers. The presence of this huge populace has created several traffic problems, the main root of which can be found in the shortage or the incorrect positioning of the function of parking lots in this city. However, the issue gets into its peak in the time there is boom in tourism in holiday seasons. field data, a questionnaire with a sample size of 320 participants including 100 citizens and 220 tourists has been incorporated, This applied study uses a descriptive analytical research design.In the analysis of the current situation, and for providing the and SPSS has been used for further analysis. After assessing the area and the number of required parking lots applying parking building methods, the influential standards in situating public parking lots has been weighted through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in Arc GIS software zone, and then appropriate places for launching parking lots has been recognized by OWA (Ordered Weighted Average) fuzzy method. Results show that with regard to the need for 1863 parking lots in addition to the current lots in the studied area in one day, there exists no logical relations between the demanded parking lots and the existing parking lots in the city of Genaveh. Nevertheless, it should be admitted that the present parking lots in the city are appropriate considering the geographical standards; but limitations exist with regard to the number of these lots. Hence, considering the characteristics of this city, the most logical option is the use of smart parking. 2- Theoretical Bases- Traffic Traffic is an international term; it means transportation vehicles and passersby walk on roads and adding three humans, vehicle and road are formed (Rezaei, 1369, p. 7).- Stop surface carThe average surface to stop any car is considered to be 14 square meters and the average number of passengers per car is two; thus, there is a need for at least 7 meters of the city for the parking of each passenger. Since car is a personal device, there is a need for at least two parking spaces for a car: one in the living place and the other in working place or sites such as shopping centers and city centers (Shahi, 1376, p. 85).- Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) The analytic hierarchy process is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions. In this process, decision makers find the answer that best suits their goal.
