Abstract: The aim of this study is to distribute green spaces based on qualitative factors in Tehran. Base on the 7 qualitative criteria and Fuzzy AHP, the distribution of green spaces has been performed. These criteria were introduced: sustainability, aesthetic, safety, connectivity and accessibility, legibility, desirability, dependency, adaptability and biodiversity. In the research process, firstly the criteria are compared together and given suitable weight to them based on experts’ opinions. The fuzzy evaluation results of the factors in each site showed that out of the 9 factors evaluated, site2 was superior to site 3 on 5 factors. The biggest difference among these was “Biodiversity” with a difference of approximately 0.20. Site 2 was superior to site1 on 6 factors as well with the biggest difference being “Biodiversity” with a difference of 0.123.
