For the first thing, the effect or relative importance of each of these layers has been identified as factors in the location of sports centers. Secondly, in order to determine the relative importance of standard weights and layers of spatial analysis in Arc GIS software was used. After prioritizing the use of information layers and the use of GIS, standard weight substrates were used for positioning. After determining the overlaps of the standard weights, weighted according to their importance to information layers, layers of information based on the combined weight were estimated. Finally having located these spaces, the proposed map was obtained for Khorramabad sports spaces. Results from this study show the highest level of space is allocated to the residential user.
