Forest park ecological ability assessment using hierarchical analysis process Case stydy: chitgar forest park, (Tehran 22 district)

Abstract

Evaluating ecological capability, potential of the land is determined by criteria. The purpose of this study is Check the potential of Chit gar Forest park for tourism. In this research, with study different sources and take standards, the criteria and sub-criteria, were determined the criteria used: maps soil science, land science, topography, temperature and rain, blanket plant, land use, distance of water source, distance of tourism appeal, distance of way, distance of human habitation. with use form of twin analogies weight of criteria and sub-criteria become assignment and the hierarchical analysis process was used to weight the criteria. Recreational ability assessment was carried out according to the weight assigned to a large outing. Finally, the final strength of the area was determined by combining layers. Expert Choice 11 software was used to weigh the criteria and ArcGIS 10.5 software was used to analyze the layers. Based on the results of about, 20% of the area has the potential for a massive outdoor recreation of this amount 1383 hectares were suitable for extensive class1 activity, 184/541 hectares were considered suitable for extensive recreation of tow classrooms, and 2/78hectares were classified as inappropriate. Which is on the highlands. In this model, there were no removable natural barriers. Overall, it should be noted that vegetation depletion will have an impact on vegetation diversity as well as degradation and pollution of the area, which in turn will reduce tourism potential in future seals, and local authorities should make decisions
