Popis: This research presents the characteristics of the cities of Najaf and Kufa explored from the perspective of transport network elements, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) typology, and spatial levels of transportation nodes (regional, urban, and district) to become notes of development depending on their spatial characteristics. Criteria and indicators are derived for the purpose of measuring, computing and weighing these characteristics by importance based on expert opinions. Spatial multi-criteria assessment is carried out to build an index of Transit-Oriented Development using the features of the environment of the Geographical Information System (GIS) and identify spatial nodes that demonstrate a high response to this type of development.
