ترجمه مقاله ارزیابی پتانسیل اکوتوریسم پارک جنگلی شهری بر اساس عوامل موثر در فضای باز تفریحی

Evaluation of ecotourism potential is investigation of land capability for outdoor recreation. In start of this study, we evaluated the suitable places for the intensive and extensive outdoor recreations using five ecological parameters (slope, aspect, height, soil texture and vegetation cover) based on Makhdoum model in Sorkhe Hesar forest park. Results showed that most of park area (297.223 hectares) has the degree 1 extensive outdoor recreation potential and the small area of park (1.126 hectares) has the degree 2 intensive outdoor recreation potential. Further, the field surveys showed that one of the factors that increase the inelegance in the environment of Sorkhe Hesar forest park is the lack attention to all the effective factors (water resources and recreation facilities) in evaluation of the outdoor recreation potential of this park. Therefore we used the written questionnaire and the verbal interview techniques for evaluating the use of visitors of the outdoor recreation places of this park. We recorded the positions of whole places where the questionnaires had been distributed in them in the outdoor recreation classes using GPS (Global Position System). In addition we recorded the position of water resources and facilities of park using GPS to create the water resources and facilities maps. Results showed that the use of visitors of this park isn’t according to the previous outdoor recreation planning based on Makhdoum model. As the outdoor recreation of visitors has the direct correlation with the water resources, recreation facilities and tourism attractions in the park. Therefore we overlaid the maps of these factors (as the positive data layers) on the primary outdoor recreation potential map and we provided the final outdoor recreation potential map based on these factors (water resources, recreation facilities and tourism attractions). Final results showed that other data layers should also be considered in the usual model along with the ecological factors because all of the effective factors in outdoor recreation have not been considered in the usual model.
