Abstract

The purpose of this project is to propose suitable places for the construction of a dry port to support the ports of Gilan province. First, the mandatory indicators for the establishment of a dry port were studied in the library and reviewed the world's most authoritative articles. With the opinion of academic and executive experts of the relevant organizations, the indicators related to the confirmation and validation of placement.

It was found that in order to make the most of the investment, a dry port should be established far from the coast in Qazvin province. Important factors in the location of areas prone to dry port construction in Qazvin province are done by asking experts again and the number of 20 important factors is determined. Determining the desired concepts was done. According to the indicators and weighted indicators of the relative coefficients provided by the experts using the AHP method, the final weighting of each indicator and determining the criteria was calculated in the Expert Choice software.
