Wetland Management Strategies With Emphasis On Water Resources Using, SWOT and WASPAS Models

sustainable management of wetlands, in terms of their terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems composition and characteristics, requires scientific and multidisciplinary approaches. The purpose of this study was to develop Jazmourian wetland management strategies using multi-criteria decision making models. This study was an evaluation-analytical study that collected library and documentary data as well as field data. In this study, first, using DPSIR framework, the criteria were developed according to the theoretical framework and then WASPAS method was used to prioritize wetland conservation and restoration management strategies. Then, The Quantitative Strategic Matrix Planningmethod was used to extract strategies and determine the direction of water resources management strategies. Following on from the IFE and EFE matrices, the internal factors accounted for 0.254 and the external factors of 0.213 which indicates a high aggressive approach to profitability. Results from the WASPAS model for measuring and analyzing hierarchical management strategies indicate that, respectively, conservation of indigenous vegetation units with a weight of 0.403, is the highest priority and at the top of hierarchical analysis, and intubation of streams with weight of 0.146 is the lowest priority was.
