| Housing is one of the most important means of achieving an adequate level of welfare and represents the largest investment for every household. This study aims to evaluate quantitative and qualitative housing indicators in the city of Isfahan by employing descriptive-analytical and comparative methods, as well as applying multi-criteria decision-making models such as VIKOR, TOPSIS, and the integration method for housing classification and planning across the fifteen districts of the city. Data were collected from the results of Iran’s national population and housing censuses in 2006, 2011, and 2016, along with the Isfahan City Statistical Yearbook of 2023. The evaluation using the VIKOR method revealed that districts 5 and 6 are at an excellent level, districts 1, 3, 4, and 7 are at a good level, districts 9, 12, and 13 are at a moderate level, while districts 2, 8, 10, 11, 14, and 15 are in a weak condition. Findings based on the TOPSIS method similarly indicated that districts 5 and 6 are in excellent condition regarding quantitative and qualitative housing indicators, districts 3, 4, 7, and 13 are in good condition, districts 2, 8, and 9 are moderate, and districts 1, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 are weak. Furthermore, the final ranking obtained by integrating the VIKOR and TOPSIS methods showed that districts 6, 5, and 7 occupy the first to third ranks, districts 13, 3, and 4 hold the fourth to sixth ranks, and districts 1, 2, 9, 12, 8, 11, 10, 15, and 14 respectively occupy the seventh to fifteenth ranks. | ||
