Abstract Spatial features of libraries are crucial to increasing trends in library usage, particularly in the case of attracting students. Selecting a suitable location for the establishment of public libraries can be determined using spatial criteria and by employing Geographic Information System (GIS) in conjunction with Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM). The Weighted Linear Composition (WLC) method was used to determine the suitable areas for library construction located in District 5 of Tehran in Iran. This model has a high capability in combining the effect of different values of effective criteria and the weight of each of them in determining the suitable areas for the establishment of the library. Based on the findings, 42% of the total study area was labeled as suitable for public library construction as indicated by the centrality criteria. The remainder of the study area was classified as so: 27% of the districts were in the suitable class, 34% in the moderate class, and 39% in the unsuitable class. The results of this study could be employed as potential tools in urban management and planning to locate suitable areas for the construction of libraries and thereby increase the overall rates and trends of library usage.

通过整合 GIS 和多属性决策制定适合公共图书馆建设的区域空间建模：案例研究德黑兰，伊朗

摘要 图书馆的空间特征对于图书馆使用的增长趋势至关重要，特别是在吸引学生的情况下。可以使用空间标准并通过使用地理信息系统 (GIS) 和多属性决策 (MADM) 来确定为公共图书馆的建立选择合适的位置。使用加权线性组合 (WLC) 方法确定位于伊朗德黑兰第 5 区的图书馆建设的合适区域。该模型能够很好地结合不同有效准则值的影响以及它们各自的权重来确定适合建库的区域。根据调查结果，根据中心性标准，总研究区域的 42% 被标记为适合公共图书馆建设。研究区的其余部分是这样分类的：27% 的地区为适宜等级，34% 为中等等级，39% 为不适宜等级。本研究的结果可用作城市管理和规划的潜在工具，以定位适合图书馆建设的区域，从而提高图书馆的整体使用率和趋势。
