Abstract :
These days, the quality of people settlement is considered as one of the main research areas for spatial planning in different countries. This is due to the influence of current researches in quality of life-related topics in monitoring public policies as well as its role as a practical tool in urban planning. Hence, understanding, measuring and improving the quality of life have been the main goal of researchers, planners and governments in recent decades. Therefore, identification of effective factors in assessment and evaluation the quality of life can help planners to propose appropriate strategies to develop different areas and cities with their related needs and required facilities. In this regard, this research has been done by descriptive analytic methods which use FTOSIS (Fuzzy-Topsis) and questionnaire. The selected case study is Sanandaj city neighbourhoods including Nanle, Nayser, Molavi town and Farjeh. Sample community consists of 40 experts in urban planning (councils and urban experts) of Sanandaj city that has been selected by homogenous and target selection method. The result of this study showed that economic dimension has the lowest weight with 1.97 while environmental dimension with a weight of 2.251 has the highest one in minimum, mean and maximum fuzzy (W ̃i). indicators which have obtained the lowest weights should become into consideration for urban planners, policy makers and managers to improve the quality of life and social and economic boom.
