Abstract

In recent years, Geotourism has become a major contributor to sustainable development issues, And has been raised as a focal point, especially for less developed local communities. Nevertheless, the experience of this field in the world shows that effective and real management positions are very efficient in this direction. Accordingly, the study of Geomorphodiversity and the identification of Geomorphosites and their actual monitoring with the hazardology approach is one of the correct paths in this area. In this research, this issue was investigated in Sardasht city by GAM Model that based on expert opinions. The results of the study were to identify 14 geocytes of the index Which has basic capabilities in this field. Their analysis showed that the Shalmash Waterfall Geosite and Meadabad Forest Geosite have the highest value and the Kachaka cave, Sarprdan Karstic masses have the lowest value. However, analyzing the position of Geosites based on the GAM matrix and the Hazardology approach showed that the main value at the level of the Geosites is higher than the additional value. However, more accurate studies showed that in the main value, the protective sub-value is lower than the scientific and aestheticsub-values. Therefore, the existence of Geoconservation strategy is required depending on the active or inactivity of the Geosites as well as the development of the infrastructures in less active and active Geosites, respectively. The existing Hazardology approach showed that increasing access level through the development of main communication paths, increasing amenities, and especially the development of tourism residences that are also the basis for employment, is very effective. The existing approach have shown that branding is also an appropriate field, but the importance of educating and informing local communities about the stability of Geosites is very important. It can be said that the right move in the direction of tourism in the city of Sardasht provides for the establishment of sustainable employment, the implementation of Geoconservation strategy, the development of border security, and the creation of an appropriate alternative to false occupational concepts and, ultimately, sustainable development.
