The weight of the indices was obtained by using a multivariate model (FAHP) and finally analyzed by GIS software. The results of the research have shown that the elementary schools of district 3 of Ahvaz are in relatively good condition in terms of spatial distribution. Of the pre-schools in District 3, 2 schools with 6. 25% of the total number of schools in the inappropriate range, 16 schools with 50% of the total secondary schools, 13 schools with 40. 6% of the total number of schools in proper condition, and only one school with 13. 3% of the total, schools in District 3 were in a perfectly fit position in terms of spatial location.
