Industrial settlements in different regions of a country are looking for maximum benefit from the advantages of geographical, regional, economic and social with the least possible economic and social costs, and based on this logic, these settlements are also considered as a solution to reduce the current problems of industrial cities and potential in industrializing cities. In brief, the experiences of developed countries and some developing countries show that if industrial gatherings are used properly accompanied by other measures, it will lead to encouraging industrialization and guiding the industry in terms of location, and essentially, it helps the goals of urban and regional planning and industrial and economic development. Accordingly, this study is looking for identification of factors affecting lack of absorption and the development of investment in industrial settlements of Tehran and determining the weight of these factors using fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Technique. In this research, the gathering of experts opinions using the questionnaire is made and using Lin triangular fuzzy scale, defuzzification is done. And finally, using the Super decision software final weights is determined. Based on the results, Identified factors in order of importance degrees were included: Macroeconomic policy, a lack of infrastructural facilities, lack of existence of the executive-management organization, institutional barriers and lack of optimal positioning. In the end, solutions to increase and develop industrial investment in industrial settlements of Tehran are also provided.
