In recent decades, the issues of ecology and environmental sustainability have become a global concern in contemporary urban design. Among various elements, water features play significant role improving ecological characteristics their surrounding environment, especially hot arid areas. The aim this study is to evaluate comprehensively quantitatively, which has been overlooked previous studies, taking physical into account. To end, multicriteria decision-making method, an analytic network process, was proposed quantitatively features. approach, four criteria—microclimate, biodiversity, greenery, human wellbeing—and ten were considered. Twenty-one experts asked complete questionnaire for pairwise comparisons all criteria influence characteristics. results showed that vegetation scale, with relative influencing values 0.255 0.188, respectively, identified as most decisive criteria. Conversely, texture, value 0.023, had least impact. Moreover, it shown greatest impact on microclimate compared other used compare at Koohsangi Transregional Park, located city Iran. lead framework can help designers integrate feature planning enhance sustainability.
