Abstract

The helicopter serves a vital purpose. In current society, their duty is to support or enable social and economic progress. Helicopters are currently used in a wider range of situations as a result of ongoing technological and functional advancements. Helicopters are becoming increasingly popular in our culture, particularly in the fields of public service and aerial labor.

There are two trends regarding the Catalan heliport network that aim to modernize and address the needs of the different Catalan airport networks, which are the deployment of a 24-hour network and the modernization of facilities, and the modernization and renewal of the fleet of helicopters based in Catalonia.

The most important consideration is the requirement for heliports for public health, fire, security, emergency, and civil protection services. This requirement for a Catalan heliport network will be established, and it will be a problem to address because it is one of the work's objectives: the specification of the heliport to be located and the study of the heliport's location.

After the sort of heliport to be installed on the site has been selected, the indications and guidelines for the promotion of new heliports are examined. This guarantees that the qualities to be taken into account for site analysis are known.

Throughout the enterprise's site selection process, ArcMap 10.8 geographic information system (GIS) technologies are employed. All of the layers of information used, the layers of analysis, and the multiple approaches used are all described. This section of the investigation closes with an examination of three potential communities for a new heliport.

It closes with the conclusions section, which details the findings from the analysis of the Catalan heliport network and the study of heliport site in Catalonia.
