Abstract

ECOTOURISM is widely accepted as the most effective type of sustainable development. The purpose of this study was to identify CRITERIA AND INDICATORS for ECOTOURISM management innorthern FOREST PARKs of Iran is under the framework of SUSTAINABILITY. Indicators act as an instrument which can be used for monitoring SUSTAINABILITY. Hence, indicators should be cover all aspects of social, ecological, cultural, economic and legal factors affecting SUSTAINABILITY of ECOTOURISM. This study was conducted on three occasions through the DELPHI method. Questionnaires by email distributed among experts and asked them the importance of CRITERIA AND INDICATORS, using a Likert scale to assess. At the end of the third round we reached a consensus on 8 criteria and 32 indicators, which include 7 indicators related to ecological aspects, 6 to economic aspects, 11 to social aspects, 4 to cultural aspects and 4 to legal aspects. The selected indicators would be applied by the Iranian Cultural, Heritage, Handicrafts, Tourism Organization, manage natural resources and municipalities for monitoring ECOTOURISM SUSTAINABILITY in the Northern FOREST PARKs of Iran.
