Zoning of Chabahar Golf as a Recreation Center Using Multiple Criteria Decisiom Making

Socio-Economic development in last decades as a dynamic process in the most of luxuriant north and south ecosystems beyond an enhancement in national revenue, created a situation that people tend to tourism as a media in order to fill their leisure time. In spite of being a major part of our country in desert belt, south Iranian coastal regions provide one of pivot of touring whereas Chah-Bahar port provides one of tourism capitals in Iran. Until time, there isn’t any studying in order to zoning of recreation area in the bay. In this study, effective parameters in tourism include, site selection process, by surviving previous literatures and expert opinions based on Delphi method were determined. Then, zoning of this region was implemented by using multicriteria evaluation and weighted linear combination. In this study, different parameters of soil, relative humidity, stability of geologic structure, distance of water sources, distance of roads, distance of the sea, ports, cities and villages, historical and cultural monuments, faults and the distance of special establishments were used as physical parameter, land use, vegetation, distance and boundary, as information layers in analyzing the map was used. These parameters should be standardized so that we used Boolean logic and fuzzy membership. In the next step the relative importance weights of parameter are estimated through using pair-wised comparison method in the frame of AHP. Finally the parameter is combined with Weighted Linear Combination method, and suitability index was determined. In this region 554 ha of this region (13 zones) were extracted for intensive recreation. This study indicates that sustainable recreation is not possible because of environment sensitiveness and constrains.
