Abstract

 Introduction Skiing is one of the branches of sport tourism in winter sports sector. This kind of tourism today has become a special trend in the mountainous regions of developed countries and is known as the "white gold", which has a great contribution to the economy of the local communities of these countries. From a global point of view, ski tourism has become an industry, but the industry is now threatened by changes in climate change. The results of general atmospheric circulation models indicate a rise in temperature and a decrease in summer rainfall in Europe. As global warming continues, some of the tourist destinations of skiing will be faced with the risk of decreasing in amount of snow and consequently loss of visitor numbers. Therefore, in such a situation, planning should be aimed at selecting the most suitable places for the construction of ski resorts with the least problem in terms of snowfall and other required parameters and the choice is made in principle and accurately. One of the problems that ski tourism in Iran faces is the installation of ski facilities and ski resorts in unsuitable places. Sit is important to specify proper location for construction of sports places and facilities for optimal and efficient exploitation in the present and future. Ignoring this issue in many cases leads to a lack of proper use of those places as well as spending too many to build them. One of the useful solutions in selecting and determining suitable sites for the construction of winter sports facilities and ski resorts is application of GIS to select the best cases. Therefore, in this study, the ArcGIS software is used to locate proper areas for construction of ski resorts. Materials and methods This is an applied research using a researcher-made questionnaire as research tool. The reliability of the tool was confirmed by calculating the incompatibility rate. The sample population of the study is 20 experts from the physical education and cultural heritage organizations of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province who respond to the questionnaire and have performed paired comparisons. In this research, the identification of suitable areas for the construction of a ski resort was carried out by weighting the criteria using the network analysis process and Super decision software. The network analysis process considers each issue and problem as a network of criteria, sub-criteria, and options. All elements in a network can, in any case, be linked together. In other words, in a network, feedback and interconnection between clusters are possible. Mapping is done by the ArcGIS software. In this regard, the most important measures affecting the location of the ski resort were studied. The combination of these standards with the experimental knowledge of experts in the field of sports helps to identify the proper locations for skiing. Results and discussion Sports tourism in our country is not well-developed and there is no systematic program for sport tourism marketing. Despite the huge costs of the physical education organization, the National Olympic Committee, federations and other relevant institutions for conducting national and international sporting events, the great benefits of tourism development cannot be obtained and there is always a loss of opportunities in this area. Assessing the environmental capability and determining the potential power and allocating appropriate funds to that can provide a logical and sustainable adaptation between the natural power of the environment, the needs of communities and human activities in space. In this way, while protecting biodiversity, we can be benefited from sustainable productivity of the land. Optimal locating attempts to help decision-makers and planners for regulating indicators and factors influencing decision making and finding logical solutions to choose appropriate places to carry out activities. In the site selection, it is necessary to see various parameters in relation to each other. In the present study, in order to identify suitable areas for the construction of a ski resort using the history of the research, interviews have been made with the experts. Three main criteria and eight sub-criteria have been obtained. It should be noted that due to the lack of snowflake network density in the country, the number of snow and frost days and the amount of precipitation have been used. After obtaining criteria and sub-criteria, the indices were weighed using ANP technique and by combining the results with the layers generated in ArcGIS software. The final map of the suitable areas for skiing in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province was produced. Conclusion After compiling the indices, the final score of each element was calculated using the ANP technique. In the next step, the layer has been combined considering the weights obtained in the layers. After obtaining the indices, the final score of each element was calculated using the ANP technique. In the next step, the required maps were drawn and, by combining the weights obtained in the layers, the suitable areas for the construction of the ski resort were located. According to the findings, about 4. 93 percent of the province has the necessary conditions for the construction of a ski resort with an area of 802. 77 square kilometers. The main part of the area is located in Koohrang city, the current most famous resort of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari province. Chelgaird is also located in this area. The specified level is considered appropriate in terms of technical conditions, which are considered as necessary indicators. If the research findings are combined with empirical knowledge of experts, the best places in the province for the construction of ski resorts will be located.
