Librarian and field methods (direct observation method) were used to collect research data and information. ARCGIS 10.4 software is used to prepare the required survey maps and data analysis, to determine the degree of importance of each of the research criteria by pairwise comparison of hierarchical analysis model (AHP) and Expert Choice software is used to standardize benchmark maps of fuzzy membership functions and to overlap standardized weighted indices using the VIKOR model. The results of the analysis are presented in the form of suggestions for creating sport sites in the neighborhoods of Zaernas, Karshenasan Town and Dampezeshki Neighborhood.
