Urban livability, a concept integral to human settlements, lacks a universally agreed-upon definition. It encompasses various aspects influencing the attractiveness and quality of life in a city. The research adopts an objective evaluation method, focusing on equitable access to urban services. The study aims to address these challenges by examining the livability of Tehran's 22 districts, emphasizing access to essential services. Employing a comprehensive methodology, the research utilizes analytical tools such as Standard Deviational Ellipse analysis (SDE), Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN), and the Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) technique. The spatial distribution analysis of urban land uses in Tehran reveals distinct patterns through Standard Deviational Ellipse analysis. Urban land uses exhibit directional orientations and concentrations, providing valuable insights for urban planning. Average Nearest Neighbor analysis indicates clustered distribution across various land uses, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions. The study ranks Tehran's districts based on livability using MABAC technique. District 21 emerges as the most livable, while District 10 faces challenges in service distribution. The findings highlight disparities and call for focused urban planning to enhance overall livability in Tehran, recognizing the importance of equitable access to urban services for a sustainable and cohesive urban environment.
