ABSTRACT: Undoubtedly, pipeline transport is considered as significant economical
artery of country and national valuable resources, so it is necessary to use
latest technologies, major standards and instructions and the best human
resources in designing, operation and supervision in construction and also
protection of it. Also, all authorities and involved of construction and
operation of gas industries installation should observe safety criteria, health
and environment and aware of them ever. In fact, in designing of these
programs, in addition to technical and economical points, environmental
characteristics should be considered in order to their construction has minimum
damage to environment. On the other hand, common and traditional approaches of
pipeline routing are based on using costly and time-consuming methods. In these
methods, it is not easily to use all effective parameters in determining
optimum way. According to capability of analysis of network spatial information
systems in incorporation of spatial data, for using all effective parameters in
routing, this environment is used, therefore weighted overlay analysis (Boleyn,
index and fuzzy) and shortest path are modeled for finding optimum path of
pipeline in GIS environment.
