The required data was extracted from the Shiraz city statistics in 2018, and these data were weighted by Merec technique and used in Edas technique.
Findings: The highest final score of Edas technique was related to region 3, and the lowest score of Edas technique was related to region 8. Region 3 with a score of 0.929, region 10 with a score of 0.919, region 4 with a score of 0.761, and region 6 with a score of 0.706 had the highest scores. Region 8 of Shiraz metropolis had the lowest score with a score of 0.006. The average of the nearest neighborhood of the final Edas score of green city indicators in Shiraz metropolis was 1.760603, and the Z score was 4.825974, and it was scattered.
Conclusion: The final score of Edas technique of green city indicators in the eleven Regions of Shiraz metropolis in 2018 shows the inequality and imbalance in the studied Indicators.
