Despite these problems, it is important to pay attention to and identify these areas and evaluate them for purposeful and sustainable intervention in these lands. This study's main issue was to identify the indicators for the definition of brownfields in the metropolis of Mashhad and to determine the criteria for prioritizing the redevelopment of these lands.
Methodology: This research is applied in terms of purpose and method, based on consecutive analytical and exploratory strategy. Furthermore, for analysis, using Multi-Criteria Spatial Decision Support System and its hybrid models (TOPSIS, SAW).
Findings: Based on analyzes performed and components and indicators Obtained from available sources, a conceptual model with five components and 30 indicators and the weight of each category and the importance of the issues were determined.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the redevelopment of brownfield in the Mashhad creates countless opportunities to revitalize and regenerate urban activities and achieve urban sustainability in various social, economic, physical, and environmental dimensions.
