In this regard, documentary studies were used in the process of identifying the problem and the theoretical framework, and in the experimental analysis, the questionnaire field tool was used to collect the information. To this end first, the indexes and cases were set and, based on the opinions of experts, the indexes and cases that got the most points were selected for the questionnaire. In this research, One-Sample T Test was used in SPSS environment to analyze the data obtained from the questionnaires as well as the nearest neighbor model and the multi-spatial spatial analysis of the GIS environment for data analysis. And to obtain a pattern of distribution and spatial distribution of tourism elements in the regions. The findings of this research indicate that the spatial pattern of tourism elements in cluster type one and twelve Tehran metropolises and Also, the results of , One-Sample T Test indicate that the meanings of the above average are lower than the value of T value, which is 3, and also the significance level is equal to 0.000 which is Indicates a weak link between the tourism elements considered in both regions and confirms the research hypothesis.
