Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most extensive multi criteria decision making tools. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. The process of locating method (AHP) can be implemented in IDRISI software. The hierarchical levels are objective. The couple of sets have been compared and their weights have been defined. Then, the factor of proportion of agreement was defined. In this study, Khansar city in northwest province is considered. The present study aims at locating tourist resorts’ method (AHP), GIS techniques and utilization of the software IDRISI has been done.
