In order to maintain and improve the environmental conditions, it is necessary to provide the sustainability of the urban ecosystem; Therefore, the concept of ecological planning has certain advantages for long-term sustainability to enhance the environmental effects of urban areas. Hence, the present research tries to extract the relevant key factors by reviewing the existing literature on ecological sustainability and measure them in the 22nd district of Tehran Municipality. In the current applied research, using the descriptive-analytical method;information including library studies and filling the questionnaire by the statistical community of specialists and experts of the 22nd district of Tehran based on the theoretical framework has been collected. The analysis of the findings is descriptive-statistical applying the step-by-step technique of the ANP network analysis process and Shannon's entropy and TOPSIS is based on the principals, criteria and indicators extracted from the research. The results show that the 2nd selected area of the 22nd other district of Tehran in terms of ecological sustainability is in a relatively unfavorable situation compared to the other three selected area and by relying on the ANP technique, it was determined that the component of expanding ecological networks and maintaining environmental and visual qualities is at the highest position, and based on the TOPSIS technique, the expansion of ecological networks and ecological balance among the areas of region 22 are desirable. Finally, research proposals are categorized and presented based on ecological principles.
