            Abstract : 
By using basic principle of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology, this article tries to make the site selection for urban CNG station as a design of new product, firstly Considers the requirements of different participants systematically, secondly builds up the QFD decision model of site selection for urban gas station, lastly determines the best locations for gas station, so that location planning can more objectively meet the actual demands in the usage of urban CNG vehicles.
