The urban Worn texture is in fact the main core of how the birth of a city and also the manner of reflecting the culture of that city’s people during the evolution and change of the city. After the prevalence of modern patterns and methods in the early of the present centaury and especially measuring its efficiency on the cities’ physic , these textures, due to lack of consistency with the new techniques imported from the West, have been considered as inefficient and problematic textures. To coordinate these textures with modern approaches, from the first Pahlavi period up to now, various laws and regulations in the form of different plans have been examined on the physic of the cities. The central worn texture of Ahvaz city has not been excluded from the interferes and targeting as various major and minor plans for complying the texture physic with the new methods and prospecting for its future. In the current study, which is conducted by descriptive- analytical approach, the aim is to measure the priority level of fourth macro objectives indicated by the detailed plan of central worn texture of Ahvaz with the minor objectives of each one of them for this texture. For achieving the study objectives and collecting the required data, an opinion polling was conducted from 15 experts and executive authorities of Municipality and eight districts of Housing and Urban Development of Ahvaz and then the obtained data were studied and analyzed in the form of FAHP to determine the priority level of the said main and minor objectives. The results of the data analysis using fuzzy hierarchical analysis shows that among the major objectives considered in detailed design for Ahvaz Central worn texture, strengthening and development of local business has the most importance and strengthening and development of local tourism among the major objectives has had the least importance in the discussions made by the experts in the field of the said texture.
