Between different locations at cities, mosque is a holy and religious location that connect religious and cultural and social and economic relations together at city that has main effect on the other civil usages and their benefits that totally for civil development. The study survived to location’s spatial pattern by GIS software based on methods of spatial statistics and was used different methods of spatial statistics such analysis dendrogram, central mean, standard distance and hot spots. Also, by looking at the maps and information obtained from these analyzes, we find that the central part of the research boundary is the concentration of the population and the number of mosques more than the other areas. The results of this research show that the eastern and western parts of the area have the highest priority for the construction and placement of the mosque, while the legal and functional scope of the surrounding mosques is also considered and maintained. It is important to take into account the routes to the current mosques and the mosques to be foreseen and to be built, which should be considered by the planner as one of the main priorities in the field of placement.
