Abstract

From effects of (human) crowd increase, is increasment of consumption resources and decrease of environmental diversity. The increasing approach of extinction rate, caused human for sake of using natural and useful values of species, enterprises to protect them which its result was forming protected areas. present study zoning Alvand no-hunting area in order to achieve an optimal pattern of conservation and development by using The multi-criteria evaluation method, using a combination of data layers combined method (linear-weighting) accomplished in geographic information system area. According to Delfi method, screen criteria and then using the hierarchical analysis method became weighed. In examining the results of executing the hierarchical analysis method in expert choice Software the priority of indicators weight respectively, In zone 1-2, maximum weight related to indicator of general climate divisions (1), in zone 3-4 and zone 5, cultural-historic monuments indicator (1), zone 6, distance of road indicator (1) and finally in zone 11, is devoted to isothermal spots, inhabitant crowd, and lands use (1) Respectively. In prioritization the resulting zone, maximum priority includes, zone 2 (%54/49), zone 11 (%33/17), zone 6 (%8/49), zone 3-4 (%2/26) and zone 5 (%1/16). Regarding to priority due weight of each zone, the region contains high  percent of protection zone and also to the corridor between two protected area and gorge of  worthful ovis orientalis species, It can be said that the region was of high value for a higher level of protection.
