For this purpose have been invented advanced tools and techniques to become in the service more efficient of urban planning. Therefore, this study aimed at locating crisis management support base of Shahr-e Babak, to provide the optimal location pattern of crisis management support base using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for weighting criteria, overlay index (IO) to integrate layers and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In terms of target, this research is practical and research methodology is descriptive-analytical and experimental research. Criteria used include efficiency, adaptability, safety and environmental characteristics Shahr-e-Babak. General results of this research show that 16.9% of Shahr-e-Babak land include totally inappropriate land to build a crisis management support base, 41.17 % is poor appropriate, 18.6 % is with quality neutral, 21.2 % is comparatively appropriate and 1.6 % of the land allocated to totally appropriate.
