Selection the best place for construction of a road in forest is an important problem. For this research three place are considered for evaluating in Haraz region that including: Kelerd, Pelet Cheshme and Mangel. In this paper we applied hybrid MCDM methods for evaluating the regions. AHP applied for calculating the weight of each criterion and sub criterion and then COPRAS-G method applied for evaluating the places for selecting the best place for constructing the forest road. Result showed that Kelerd region in the best place for this work.
