Abstract :

Because of the importance of fish farming sites in the production, suitability of location is very important for different aspects. Because of the complexity and the importance of special and non-spatial conditions site selection of fish farming requires the use of a practical approach that could well establish the proper relationship between these conditions to make the best decision for the selection of the appropriate area of the site, be adopted. The aim of this paper is using a method based on the combined use of GIS and remote-sensing techniques with a special decision support system that was implemented in three phases. In the first phase using GIS and RS by taking elimination criteria, areas unsuitable for construction site were removed. In the second phase, after the integration of maps, nine ranges for Sturgeon construction site according to the criterion were appropriate. In the third phase, according to use Linguistic Measures of Preference, compare and assess sites against main criteria, sub criteria and secondary criteria using AHP method. According to this phase, three sites 9, 4 and 7 as top priorities were proposed for construction.
