The deployment of every urban element in a specific spatial-physical location of the city is subject to certain principles, rules and mechanisms that, if followed, will result in the success and effectiveness of that element at the same location. Determining the proper location for the establishment of sport centers is one of the most important tasks and objectives of urban managers, which must be prepared in a systematic framework prior to implementation. In Tehran metropolitan area, lack of recreational and sports spaces and its inappropriate distribution considering the population of each region, has been a major problem for the citizens of this city. The size of the sports field in Tehran is 50 centimeters per person. Also, in the 10th district of Tehran, sport spaces and locations have not been optimized in proportion to the population allocation of space; Therefore, the organization and development of these centers seems important. The purpose of this study is to determine spatial-location organization and physical development of sport spaces in the 10th district of Tehran. The research method is a descriptive-analytic study. By studying and analyzing the literature of research in the areas of land use and location, determining the 9 criteria effective in organizing gyms through overlapping the informative overlays in Arc GIS software, identifies the best places to fit the target. The results of the research show that the sport centers in the 10th district of Tehran are not in desirable position in terms of distribution, and the distribution of these centers has been done randomly. Thus, after considering the appropriate places for the construction of sport centers and adapting them to ground facts, several places for the establishment of new sport centers for this region have been proposed. It also becomes clear that the application of multi-criteria decision-making techniques and spatial analysis of GIS can be used as an effective tool for locating sport spaces. The placement of sport spaces alongside the communication paths and their proper distance from the industrial and military uses proves properly the ability and power of the analytical model of the research.
