Abstract

Wood farming and its sustainable development according to forest poverty, many environmental hazards and current climate is one of the fundamental strategies. Therefore, this study was aimed at determination and prioritization effective criteria for sustainable development of poplar wood farming in Iran by using pair comparisons method. For this purpose, after review and interviews, 25 key indicators were identified. These criteria were divided into four major groups as: economic and social issues, protection and support of farmers, planting method and infrastructure indices. Prioritize these indicators and sub-indicators whit hierarchical diagram, questionnaires and matrix of paired comparisons were done and the priority rates of these criteria were evaluated by using the Expert Choice software. The results indicated that among 25 effective sub-criteria in sustainable development of poplar wood farming in Iran, the sub-criteria of annual household livelihoods (0.162), liberation of importing and exporting of poplar wood (0.135), providing new varieties and efficient such as modified seedlings (0.093), use of potential prone areas poplar farming (0.079), guaranteed purchase of products (0.067), financial incentives and loans to poplar farmers (0.058) and investment return after the 8 to 10 years (0.049) had the highest priorities, respectively.
