Abstract

Nowadays, modeling is a tool in management science, and planning techniques are one of the important management factors in order to allocate scarce resources to obtain maximum benefits. Unlike industry, for planning process in agriculture and natural resources, decision makers need to optimize various objectives simultaneously.
This research was conducted to suggest and compare different alternatives for optimum utilization of resources in Garmabdasht (sub-watershed of Gorgan), using goal programming as well as socioeconomic and environmental objectives.
The results showed that the proposed pattern using goal programming has acceptable and flexible outputs when compared to the other linear programming techniques.
