Objectives: The purpose of this research is to evaluate and rank the performance of various districts within the Shiraz municipality based on different financial criteria. Therefore, we evaluated the performance of 11 districts of Shiraz municipality in the second half of 2022.

Input and output values were determined by consulting the informatics department of each district. Results: Based on the results, optimal performance recommendations can be made to senior managers of the municipality. Innovation: The current research is focused on evaluating financial aspect of performance in various districts of Shiraz Municipality. The goal is to find a suitable model for ranking these areas.
