Zoning policy has been widely used for planning and decision makings in land use tor more than a decade. Most of the existed zoning plans are incompetent due to the outdated conditions. In other situations, the MCDM and G1S techniques have been applied tor land evaluations. One means of enhancing the zoning efficiency is by applying a similar approach. The aim of this paper is to show how integrated AHP-GIS methodology can be used effectively to support the formulation of recreational zoning. Aso National Park area is selected as a pilot study and selection criteria are developed and evaluated. Two cases of criteria evaluation are used to justify efficiency of the method. Zoning maps are derived and discussed.
