摘要：
The aim of this study was to determine suitable areas for construction of wind farm in Takestan Plain as one of the main wind-prone areas in Qazvin Province. To this end, one of the widely-used multi criteria decision making techniques (Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)) was used. The site selection criteria were divided into three main groups of environmental, technical and geographical. Further, buffer zones around wind farms were considered as constraint and excluded from site selection analysis. After weighting the criteria, wind speed was recognized as the top-priority criterion while slope and distance from population centers were ranked second and third, respectively. The obtained results indicated that the western areas of Takistan County, over an area of 433 ha, have a great potential for establishment of a wind farm.
