This study attempts to organize urban areas and assess the suitability of South East Entrance of Mash had by applying spatial planning. Collecting data of the current situation is performed in both indirect and direct levels of the study area. The study area, which is divided into three sequences based on environmental similarity, is surveyed from six aspects of function, traffic, topography, slope, green space and environmental point of view and then analyzed according to SWOT technique. In the next step, each layer is evaluated based ona modified ecological model. After creating factor maps, the final map of Suitability of Space is determined by over lapping of all layers in GIS, the appropriate approach for each sequence is determined. It seems that applying this method in urban scale, help urban management use appropriate approaches in organizing urban areaswith regard to all of the influencing factors.
