Abstract

Watershed-based planning and long-term citizen-based monitoring are two highly significant components of natural resources management. There is a dialectic connection between two concepts of sustainability and strategic planning. However, the conventional strategic matrices are not capable of analyzing the internal and external strategic factors on the basis of sustainability paradigm. Throughout the current paper, a novel, strategic group decision-making context was introduced for multiple criteria analysis of the watershed-based strategic planning. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was merged into the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) to determine the most attractive strategic group. Moreover, Compromise Programming procedure was employed to identify the most conclusive strategy. The combination of TOPSIS along with QSPM incorporated a set of sustainable development criteria in watershed planning. Prior to this combination, the economic, social, environmental and technical components of sustainable development were weighted based on Shannon Entropy technique. According to this simple yet practical context, establishment of an integrated system of operation, protection and monitoring of water resources was the highest priority within the watershed.
