contents <p><span>Urban quality of life has become a central focus in sustainable urban development and policymaking. This research was conducted to rank the quality of urban life in the neighborhoods of districts 11 and 12 in Tehran. The research method utilized multi-criteria decision-making methods (AHP and ANP) and GIS analysis. First, the factors affecting quality of life were identified, and the relevant spatial layers were prepared. Then, using AHP and ANP methods, the weights of the criteria were calculated, and these weights were used in GIS to combine the layers and create the final maps. Unlike previous studies, this research integrates two decision-making models with spatial analysis to provide a comparative and location-specific understanding of urban quality of life, offering targeted insights for Tehran’s historical and densely populated districts. The findings showed that the deteriorated urban fabric and air pollution have the greatest impact on quality of life (in AHP, 19.53 and 18.506; in ANP, 19.56 and 18.731), while green spaces and gender ratio (in AHP, 2.206 and 2.39; in ANP, 2.197 and 2.342) had the least impact. Ultimately, the study highlights how spatial decision-making tools can effectively guide interventions toward equitable and sustainable urban improvements.</span></p>
