Abstract

Uncontrolled ecotourism, similar to any development, can have negative effects on culture, economy, environment and even the security of eco-tourists. Behshahr County on the east of Mazandaran Province enjoys a high potential for ecotourism with its mountains, lush temperate forests, vast plains and wetlands. A multi-criteria evaluation was used to assess the potential of the area using fuzzy layers and constraints as Boolean layers. Erosion and LANDSLIDE POTENTIAL were the two factors that were used for the first time in the capability analysis for the ecotourism. Standardization of the factors was conducted using suitable fuzzy functions and the weights of the factors were derived through the ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP). Factors and constraints were combined using the WEIGHTED LINEAR COMBINATION (WLC) method. The final raster layer was grouped into zones and for each zone the zonal land suitability (ZLS) was determined. Removing zones less than 20 hectares in size, around 35 zones were found as the best, 137 zones as the medium and 4 zones as the poor areas for ecotourism. Of the area of the County, around 82400 hectares was not suitable at all for the ecotourism. Around 4500 hectares of the area was found to be highly suitable, 55000 hectares was considered moderate and 2600 hectares was found poor in terms of ecotourism.
