Abstract In this research, by using 10 natural criteria and AHP model, Tabriz district was studied from natural environment perspective to identify the optimal location for construction of Maskan- Mehr and compare the current Mehr housing location. The method of this study is descriptive-analytical and the data were collected by documentary and field study methods. According to the proper zones identified for localization of Mehr housing in Tabriz district and since all zones were not optimal and lacked capability of planning, so by using TOPSIS, SAW and MORIS, the optimal zones were prioritized from implementation perspective. Also, the analysis of sensitivity of the identified zones was investigated based on 10 localization criteria. The results show that there are seven proper zones 10 km of Tabriz that have the best conditions for localization of the Mehr housing according to studied criteria. Also, ranking models show that the first zone is near to Tabriz- Maragheh road. The results show that Mehr housing in Tabriz that selected based on the economic conditions and land ownership issue could be localized in a proper environmental conditions near to Tabriz to consider environmental and natural disasters in addition to economic support of the owners of these dwellings.
