Abstract :
Nowadays, many countries and governments are finding alternatives for sustainable management for theirs forest resources. It is a must to consider available forest resource in point of permanent criteria, in order to get this important issue. For comparison of forest reserves(Chalghafa, Daghbashi and Tang Khoshk) of Semirom,Esfahan province, obtaining the resource of sustainable management make more easier. According to permanent standards and resource sites priority for comprising of this forest reserves 8 criteria to be considered such as extent ,biodiversity, health and survival, product roles, erosion, socio – economical issues, legal criterion, organizational guideline and quality. These criteria are included overall 19 sub criteria. So Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods (MCDMM) has used because of problem complexity. The hierarchical formed in the 4 levels that is purpose, criteria, sub criteria and options. Some of the criteria and as a result some sub criteria were qualitative. For accessing integrated and logical results, we benefit specialist cooperation . The results showed that socio – economical problem are more important than the other criteria in priority. Also, final results of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) indicated that Chalghafa forest reserve in respect of sustainable forest management is in a higher situation than Daghbashi and Tang Khoshk forest reserves. According to obtained results, it is suggested that Chalghafa forest reserve site would be considered as a symbol area. Other yard sticks that to be exposed by human, we should change other forest resources or city’s forest reserves corresponding to this resource sites so it causes to sustainable forest management.
