| Summary: | The purpose of this research is to evaluate the suitable areas for physical development of the
Arak city in the future. Also, to found new physical index for developing of the city based on
morphological features. For the objective, the spatial indicators of the analysis are climatology,
topographic roughness coefficient, tectonic influenced factors, geomorphological landforms,
land uses, runoff height and city relation with Mighan Desert which is located in the south of
Arak City. TOPSIS and AHP models are majors Multi Criteria Evaluation models that have
been used to prioritize the proposed areas. The results of the MCE analysis by AHP and
TOPSIS indicated that the first priority for the physical development is an area in the east and
northwest part of Arak City that was in parallel with Arak municipality plan for urban
development. Sediment analysis of suitable areas represented that the area is located in flood
bed which has unfavorable conditions for the establishment of utilities.
