The research method was descriptive-analytical and the effective criteria in locating the green space were determined using library studies and expert opinions. Parallel comparison of criteria with each other was performed using Chang method (fuzzy AHP). The criteria map was prepared in GIS environment and standardized in IDRISI environment. Then, using the OWA technique, the sequential weights of the criteria were calculated and the final green space location map was obtained. The results showed that the distance from residential centers with 0.157 and the distance from industrial centers with 0.053 have the highest and lowest standard weights, respectively, in the appropriate location of urban green space. Therefore, the most suitable and unsuitable places to create green space were determined according to the priority of parameters and compatibility of uses with green space.
