Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to study urban management performance in public green spaces (parks) based on economical indexes, social indexes and environmental indexes. For this purposes, we use TOPSIS method that is one of the methods of multiple criteria decision making. The data was obtained through interview and also a questionnaire which was distributed among about 1000 families of Mashhad in 2007 and urban management performance was investigated whit respect to 23 indexes. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant and meaningful relationship between the size of public green spaces (parks) and urban management performance and that urban management has better qualification in regional and local parks than district and neighborhood parks; however, in some of the indexes, the urban management performance is suitable in neighborhood and district parks.

Key words: Park, green space, Economic index, Social index, Environmental index, Urban management, TOPSIS method
