Hence in our country during the last decades, due to the lack of attention to proper factors in locating  such land use, has caused the  spatial imbalances in the regions. This research, with the aim of studding the effective  factors on locating the  industrial areas, will analyze and study these factors according to spatial planning  and land use planning in Iran.
Descriptive - analytical method was used for this study, the required information retrieved from documents and text resources. In the first step, the  effective factors and criteria on locating industrial areas  were obtained through referring to library and written texts  ,and  with respect to the  focus of this research on spatial and land use planning, these factors classified into  four spatial levels of national, regional, areal and local, then  since  this factors have not equal importance and weight, their weights were determined by Analytical Network Process (ANP) model. The obtained  results of this research  shows the following results: natural factors are more important than human factors, local factors has more weight than other spatial level and the weight of factors reduces with enhance of their  spatial level from local level to national ones.
