Abstract

The current research was carried out with the aim of ecological evaluation of the waterbrims of the Zahra river, by examining 2 Km of the waterside area, which has the most connection with the surrounding urban environment. The research method is descriptive and analytical based on its nature and method. In this research, the successful examples of ecological waterbrims have been examined and after extracting the criteria of ecological evaluation, the scoring of the area has been done using field sampling, and the process of weighting the criteria into quantitative indicators in the form of AHP weighting model and using Expert Choice software. The results of the research showed that among the three environmental criteria, transportation services and physical environment, the environmental component with 40% has a more favorable situation than the other two factors, and the transportation service component has the lowest ecological evaluation score with 13%. However, obtaining scores lower than 50% shows the overall ecological weakness of this waterbrim. The innovation of this research is to identify the ecological development criteria in urban waterbrim areas by examining successful samples in this field and providing criteria to evaluate and improve the ecological quality of these areas.
