Investigating the Problems of Rural Tourism Development in the Bezkuyeh Village, a Forest Village on the Outskirts of Rudsar in Gilan Province

In this research, a field study was conducted to investigate the development of rural tourism in Bozkoyeh village in Rudsar which is located in the East of Gilan Province. In order to identify the various factors required, the strengths and weaknesses of the understudy area were used to complete the questionnaire. Based on the initial information obtained and using Cochran's test, 100 samples were collected and 77 samples were selected. The questionnaires of this research were randomly distributed among the people who visited this area in the spring of 2020. In this study, Cronbach's alpha method was used to calculate the reliability of the questionnaire, which is used to determine and calculate the reliability of the test. The SPSS software was used to calculate the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results of the test for 77 samples showed that the coefficiency estimate was 0.75. In order to develop tourism in this region, there are some weaknesses such as the poor condition in the road, as well as the situation of light and lighting at night which indicate that this village lacks the necessary requirements to be developed as a tourism village. Also, tourists create problems for the natives and residents as well as for themselves which can gradually cause lack of cooperation among the natives in implementing scientific tourism studies in future.
