Nowadays, daily life intensively depends on public services. Increasing population and urbanization take humans away from environment which may lead to chaos in usage of city lands. Consequently, human is in trouble using public services and facilities including green spaces. Isfahan, one of
the metropolitans, has 18 m2 green spaces per person while city park of district 8 is of inappropriate distribution with regard to population density. The current study is aimed to localize a suitable place for city park which focuses on such criteria as:
1. To be close to street
2. To be close to residential centers
3. To be far away from the existing parks
4. Tobe close to cultural and educational centers
5. To be close to parking lot
Finally, GIS has been used to create given layers and calculate weights based on AHP. According to overlap
between layers, the most appropriate places have been identified:
1. In Marchin district which is of the area of 16 m2
2. In Bariman district which is of the area of 29 m2
3. In Imam Komeini street which is of the area of 17 m2
4. In Jaber Ansari street which is of the area of 23 m2
