It is a long tradition in urban planning that objective factors are used for study of urban life. However, this approach
could be useful in first place to illustrate the level of resident's satisfaction and their environmental quality of life.
But the reality is that concentrating only on the objective characteristics regardless to the subjective characters
could be misleading because researches show that an objective quality necessarily does not mirror the subjective
one. The present paper focuses on both objective and subjective criteria to measure quality of life in the city of
Maragheh. Thus, regarding to the scarcity of research on smaller cities of Iran the research tries to examine urban
accessibility to public space. The methodology of the research is based on descriptive-analytical methods which
applied TOPSIS and FUZZY logic in GIS extension 9.3. The results revealed that the new parts of the city showed
considerable differences by objective and subjective accessibility. Also, the findings of the study accentuated the
importance of integrated objective-subjective dimensions of accessibility to proper understanding of urban quality
of life to distribute main urban facilities by urban planners and designers.
