In general, application of methods of evaluating environmental risk is one of the important tools in studying environmental management along with identifying and mitigating potential environmental damaging factors in wetland regions in order to achieve sustainable development.
This research has been conducted with the aim of identifying the factors of destruction and threat of the Shadegan International Wetland, Alomieh Estuary, Moussa Estuary and their analysis through multi-criteria decision-making methods in order to ordain efficient rules and adopt suitable 1 Corresponding author: Gholam Reza Sabzghabaei .
The results obtained from ranking the risks threatening Shadegan Wetland using TOPSIS suggest that drought and climate change, water withdrawal in the upstream and water development plan, dam construction in the upstream and oil contamination, industrial wastewaters, commuting of launch boats, floats and boats, nonnative species, agricultural wastewaters, construction of industries and factories within the wetland range, and urban and rural wastewaters were of the first to tenth priority, respectively.
