Abstract
Urban green infrastructure planning is an approach to urban planning that aims to increase the quality of life and urban well-being. The necessity and importance of urban green spaces are so great that the existence of this use is considered one of the criteria for the development of societies. The research is an analytical-comparative type and by using the Mabak multi-indicator technique, the urban green spaces in the religious metropolis of Qom have been studied and analyzed. The data and information required for this study were adapted from the Qom Metropolitan Statistical Office in 2022 and the inequalities in urban green space among the eight regions of Qom Metropolitan Office were analyzed using the Mabak technique. The final score of the Mabak technique shows that Region 4 of Qom Metropolitan Office received the highest score with a score of (0/5414). The results of applying the Mabak model show the lack of optimal distribution of urban green spaces in Qom Metropolitan Office. Region 7 with a score of (-0/2162), Region 6 with a score of (-0/1734), Region 5 with a score of (-0/1682) and Region 1 with a score of (-0/0695) do not show a good situation in terms of urban green spaces and these regions require special and serious attention.
