Applicable Modelsfordata analysis were TOPSISandSWOT. At first،the50 aware expertswere selectedon the study area and Were askedto each ofthecriteriain thefourstreets،based oninformation available are scoresof1 to7. ThenIn thenext step، prioritization of thefourmainstreetsin Songhor cityhas been investigated usingTOPSISmodelfor construction ofparking lots.
