Abstract

One of the important needs for developed and developing countries is to create a complete, regular, extensive and efficient transportation system. But as we know, every development, especially development in the transportation industry, has a series of important features and characteristics, in addition to which the negative characteristics of such development must be considered in order for our development to be sustainable. Observance of the principles of environmental evaluation of construction projects before the implementation of the project and in the initial studies and phase one of the project is the aim of the research is to provide a model for assessing the environmental sustainability of airports. To achieve this goal, the indicators were weighted within the framework of the AHP weight model and Excel software was used to analyze the data. The indicators of this research to evaluate the environmental sustainability of airports based on the questionnaire of experts in scoring the criteria are: air pollution weighing 0.43, noise pollution weighing 0.28, land use 0.12, biological factors weighing 0.11, hirological factors weighing 0.07. Also in this analysis, experts in the field visit concluded that Rasht Airport with a weight of 0.206 has the first rank, Mehrabad Airport with a weight of 0.195 has the second rank and Abadan Airport with a weight of 0.484 has gained the third rank.
