Abstract: (8657 Views)
The aim of study was to explore the areas which are gifted for ecotourism development in Kohkiluye–va Buyer Ahmad province. The analysis was carried out using the ecotourism model of Makhdoom (2002). All parameters introduced in the model like: the shape of land (slope percentage, altitude from sea level and geographic directions), pedology (fertility, depth, texture and drainage), plant clothing (density, vegetation form and meadows condition), petrology, protected areas, climatic conditions (distribution of temperature, moisture, sunny days and average wind speed) and water which were analyzed separately and the digital map of each was drawn up. Then, the above - mentioned layers were classified considering the aim of study and based on the proposed data of the ecotourism model. The analysis, concluding and assessment of the data were conducted using GIS and finally the final map of the expansion of the gifted areas for ecotourism development in the province was prepared. More over, using Terjung method, the human bioclimatic situation of the province was investigated.
Taking into consideration the results of the study both in the first part (analysis of potentiality of the gifted areas for ecotourism development) and the second part (study of convenience climate), two cities of Buyer Ahmad and Dena were evaluated to be suitable for summer touring and the two cities of Gachsaran and Kohkiluye to be suitable for winter touring. Further, cities and towns of the province were analyzed as for the level of availability of the infrastructures needed for ecotourism development. The results indicated that the two cities of Dena and Gachsaran are more capable of providing with tourism services and supports.
