Abstract :
Assessing the potential of rangelands for the development of multi-purpose use and the propre utilization of the capabilities of these resources is a serious challenge for managing pastures. in this regard, this research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the competence of the Tamin rangelands in order to develop beekeepers by using Fuzzy logic method in the arc GIS software environment in the Tamin rangelands in northern Taftan. For this purpose, sampling was carried out in vegetation brigades of the region by systematic randomization method with the establishment of three 300 meter transects. After determining the effective measures in determining the suitability of beekeepers using the proposed FAO method, effective measures were firstly weighed by experts . in the next step Fuzzy logic was applied to the criteria. Generally, the results of apiculture model In Fuzzy logic method showed that 24.9 of land units was classified as high suitable (S1), 28.2 with moderate suitability(S2), 40.6 with low suitability(S3) and 6.3 non suitable (N) for use apiculture. In addition, the index weight of vegetation cover factor (0.84) is more than access to water resources (0.81) and environmental and physical factors (0.37). According to the results of Fuzzy logic method, the eastern regions of the rangelands of Tamin have a higher suitability for apiculture, and this should be considered in the development of apiculture and vegetation management in the rangelands of Tamin.
