Abstract

Geographical position, topographic conditions and climatic variety have caused the ‎province of ZANJAN to be known as the province of Four Seasons. Its unique ‎ecological conditions, forest and pasture coverage, numerous water resources, ‎wildlife, several hunting zones, protected areas, caves, waterfalls, springs and tens of ‎other beautiful unique landscapes have caused this province to become one of the ‎two tourist poles in Northwest of the country. In this study, by using geographic ‎information system, we have studied appropriate areas of potential ECOTOURISM ‎activities such as mountaineering, hiking, winter sports and skiing, water sports and ‎fishing, nature therapy and ECOTOURISM. Therefore, required layers of information ‎were prepared including maps of the altitudes levels, slope, slope aspect, water levels ‎and rivers, mineral springs and vegetation. Then, by combining and overlapping ‎information layers in GIS environment using Boolean Models and AHP, appropriate ‎zones for ECOTOURISM development in ZANJAN were specified. This study shows that ‎over 30 percent of the province area has the potential for various ECOTOURISM ‎activities.‎
