Disregarding land treatment and integrated management of coastal zone in Iran causes loss of huge ecologic resources in the country which is located in arid area and faces a great predicament such as soil erosion particularly, the given research zone is situated on 30?, 00? to 30?, 33? northern latitude and the condition of soil erosion in the region is more severe due to specific situation and vicinity to Arabia desert and experiencing strong winds specially in summer from the coast and removal of evaporation sediments. It is difficult to retrieve the ecologic resources in the region and the natural capital such as water is subject to various pollutants including industrial and the human. It is possible to prevent the loss of national capitals which can be the factor of socioeconomic growth and the property while optimal use of existing resources using sciences like and treatment by defining ecologic potentiality and restrictions of the region. In this research, specific ecologic models of the region was constructed by means of different library resources and basic topographic information, geology, pedology, vegetation cover, aerial photos, satellite images, field surveys, GIS software, and by Makhdoum method and the land treatment was conducted by Ilwis software in seven priorities of agriculture, aquatics breeding, rural and urban development, conservation, pasture management, and recreation and the map of various uses such as: land use, geology and geomorphology was produced. According to aquatics breeding, conservation and other maps for comparison of priority and optimal uses was determined. Due to the results obtained, areas of 14.6, 14.4, 67, 14.8, 40 34.5% are susceptible for agriculture, rural and urban development, recreational activities, concentrated recreation and aquatics breeding.
