One of the important aspects of the city is the urban environment. For this reason, Environmental experts in municipal should be trained on environmental matters. One of the tools that help us to formulate strategies for Environmental experts of Tehran municipality is the use of a SWOT analysis. Also the AHP model is could be used to prioritize the factors of strategy environmental educations options. In this study, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Tehran municipality in environmental educations field are identified and strategies for environmental educations are formulated. Finally all of these strategies are prioritized using a combination of SWOT analysis and AHP (SW-HP model).
