Urban decayed texture is the most important potential for using urban land, for housing, providing open spaces and services, and improving the environmental qualities. On the other hand, these contexts are a practical solution to prevent the physical expansion of the city from underdeveloped lands around the city and the development of empty and abandoned lands within the urban area that can help revitalize the city. In this regard, the main aim of this study is to identify the capacity of decayed texture to construct housing. Research method is descriptive-analytical in terms of nature, and applied in terms of purpose and aim. In order to achieve the goals of the research, spatial data and performing relevant analyzes in GIS and multi-criteria decision model AHP, VIKOR, SAW has been used. The statistical population were urban planning experts of Isfahan, and the sample size is 30 experts, based on theoretical saturation, and snowball sampling is used to choose the experts. The results of the two methods of VIKOR and linear weight combination showed that out of the total area of Sarcheshmeh neighborhood, in VIKOR model 336354.29 square meters and in linear weight combination model, 15213.59 square meters have high capacity for housing production. Since the number of pixels on the utility threshold is higher in the VIKOR model, the output of the VIKOR model is preferred to use the decayed texture to provide future housing.
