Abstract
Marina, which is called a small harbor, recreational harbor, or harbor area, is a port space for mooring and settling small and recreational boats. Environmental features and considerations will be lost in the location of this category of ports, along with its environmental, service, and economic consequences. Kish Island is one of the active islands in the field of tourism in the country, in addition to the activities of many light and semi-light boats in the field of coastal-marine tourism, the activity of individual light boats is also growing on this island. Kish Island is vulnerable in terms of the habitat of coral reefs and sea turtle nesting sites, and the high density of constructions on the island makes it challenging to build a marina in terms of its support services. The purpose of this research is to choose the most suitable option for the construction of a marina on the coastal strip of Kish Island and to prioritize the possible options in order to identify a suitable place for the development of tourism in Kish in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. For this purpose, location criteria, consisting of 8 (4 features and 4 characteristics), characteristics, and potential areas have been determined. Then, from the analysis of the networks using the Super decision software, the identified zones have been prioritized. According to the results of the network analysis, the use options of the coastal areas, the access ways in the back bank, the distance from the promenades and entertainment centers, as well as the possibility of accessing the infrastructure network, are determined with the highest weight and criteria.Based on the findings of this research, 4 areas were identified and in total, 4.3 km (10.5%) of the 41 km long coastline of Kish Island was determined to be suitable for the construction of a marina, which is about 2 km (4% long line Coastal) has the highest merit for marina development.
