The purpose of this study is to identify and rank the methods of promoting the culture of using natural resources. For this purpose, based on the opinion of experts in the field of natural resources, 8 main criteria and 12 sub-indicators were selected for designing the questionnaire. Then, based on the information obtained from the questionnaire, which was completed by experts in the field of natural resources, weighting and ranking of indicators were performed using EXPERT CHOICE software and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is one of the valid techniques in the field of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). The research findings indicate that among the eight criteria, the criteria of "facilitating participatory learning", "development of critical thinking" and "existence of interaction" are more important, respectively. The final analysis showed that the three criteria mentioned in the context of participatory methods are the most effective way to promote the culture of resource use and the environment.
