Abstract

The Ultimate purpose of this research is to illustrate the advantages and disdvantages of implementation of the project for constructing a by-pass road on Anzali Wetland called Kenargozar. The research intends not only to investigate the effective elements on the ecological conditions but also to present the pratical suggestions for improving the environmental situation. The Iranian Matrice method is used for this purpose, (Makhdoum, 2001).
The Matrice table designed includes 59 micro-activities of the project, and 76 factors of environmental conditions, which among them %52/54 averages are less than —3/1 in columns and %51/32 averages are less than —3/1 in rows. Considering the fact that the road with the length of 16 kilometers passes through the protected area of Anzali Wetland and the results obtained, the project is rejected from the viewpoint of Matrice method. The continuation of the project can be possible if an economic justification is presented for improving the alternatives (the averages less than -3/1 in coloumns) and implementing the mitigation plans (averages less than -3/1 in rows).
