چکیده مقاله :
Objective: The primary challenge in the development of land uses is pinpointing optimal locations that harmonize expansion with the preservation of protected and conservation areas.
Methods: This study develops a precise methodology for determining suitable land uses in the coastal areas of Hormozgan province, Iran, using Geographical Information System (GIS) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
Results: The research focuses on identifying optimal locations for agriculture, industry, and aquaculture, integrating environmental, economic, and social criteria. Key factors like topography, soil characteristics, water availability, and socio-economic aspects were weighted using expert opinions to create a capability map. The results indicate that approximately 687,132.4 hectares are viable for developmental purposes, with industrial development showing the highest potential, followed by agriculture and aquaculture.
Conclusion: This study not only provides critical insights for sustainable land use in Bandar Abbas Coastline but also sets a framework applicable to similar coastal regions worldwide, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multi-criteria planning in coastal land management. This research innovates by focusing on environmental, economic, and social factors for sustainable development.
