One of the basic preconditions for planning in order to improve the quality of life and increase the level of sustainability in various communities is to identify the factors and elements that provide and affect urban viability that play a major role in strategic planning of the government.

Findings indicate that the city of Yasuj with a total of 29 strengths and opportunities with a weight score of 3.15 and 4.01, respectively, as advantages, has great potential for viability in various dimensions. But at the same time, 30 weaknesses and threats facing this region with a weight score of 3.49 and 3.44, respectively, as limitations show that it also faces challenges and problems. Therefore, raising the score of opportunities and weaknesses (OW) according to experts, the most important strategy for officials to make better use of opportunities and strengthen strengths and reduce weaknesses and prevent harm is a review strategy.
