Nature tourism With increasing development, is one of the pillars of the economy and the main sector of investment in the world. Iran, with abundant natural resources, is one of the five countries that have highest environmental and geographical diversity in the world.This study has determined the development model of nature tourism in Iran. The research method in this study is qualitative and a kind of study called Meta Synthesis. Library method has been used to collect data. The study population is all research related to the field of nature tourism, which was conducted between 2000 until 2020 Year that was obtained by searching the databases Scopus, Civilica, SID, IRANDOC, IEEE, ISC, Emerald, Science Direct, as well as Googlescholar. based on the evaluations Among the 1523 identified studies, 7 case of them were evaluated and interpreted. Based on this, 45 reference codes were identified, That whit By combining them, 13 themes are included in the form of 6 main categoriesIncluded: The attractiveness of the tourism region, the participation and cohesion of nature tourism stakeholders, the support of nature tourism governance, cultural factors, nature tourism marketing management and educational-cultural policies have been determined, That presented as a model for the development of nature tourism in Iran. attention to the results and identified factors resulting from this study can be a basis for managers and decision makers in the field of nature tourism in order to plan for the development and expansion of this industry in the country.

The tourism industry can become a development tool for deprived areas as a factor of change in the economic outlook. Development of tourism in rural areas is an essential element and one of the ways to save villages from poverty, migration and social and economic problems. In the present study, coastal villages of Sirik city in Hormozgan province in the east coast of the Strait of Hormoz have been evaluated for the development of tourism due to the diversity of natural attractions. Situation and conditions of sites susceptible to tourism in studied villages and their location and location distribution through field surveys and using GPS have been transmitted to base maps. Thus, a full identity card and map of distribution of geomorphologic complications in the villages of the area were prepared In the next step, each village in the study area was considered as a geosite or geomorphosites due to the presence of various landforms Using two models of Kobalikova and Braille, they assessed the rural tourism development capability. Each geosite was valued and then the sum of values was combined and the final value of each geosite was obtained. The results of Kubalikovchr('39')s model also showed that Ghanari village with 12 points scored the highest points and kuhestak 11.75, Gheordo and Palur 8.25, respectively. The results showed that in the Braille method, the Ghanari village was scored 870 points from the total score of the points and ranked the first and Palur estates with 810 and kuhestak 775 points

A very important part of tourism activities in the world is based on enjoying nature, and areas that have more valuable natural resources are given more attention in this field. In this research, using Peralong model, Hormoz Island nature tourism was prioritized. This research is applied based on purpose and descriptive-analytical based on nature. The results show that by combining 5 main criteria of physical beauty, scientific criterion, historical-cultural criterion, socio-economic criterion, land form criterion, distance criterion, access criterion and coverage criterion, the final ranking was prepared in Vikor operator. In Pralong method, by combining 4 criteria of aesthetic value, scientific value, historical-cultural value and socio-economic value and 2 criteria of productivity quality value and productivity value, the total value of each landform was calculated and then prioritization was done accordingly. . In this method, the sculpture of the Statue Valley and the Rainbow Valley are of the highest value and the mangrove forest and salt cave are of medium value, and the Red Beach, Tombak Beach, Colorful Cave, Turtle Beach, White Valley, and Sandy Beach are of low value. The statue valley and the rainbow valley have gained high ranks in the two criteria of scientific value and physical beauty of the projected place compared to other criteria.

Considering ecological sensitivity of Biosphere Reserves (BR) and their educational and aesthetic values and popularity for nature-tourism, the assessment of carrying capacity (CC) is important issue in tourism management and control of visitors flow in such areas. The aim of the present study was to assess the CC of nature-tourism in Ashooradeh Island (east of Miankeleh BR) in the north of Iran.

Using official maps of the region and extensive field surveys, 346 ha were selected out of 456 ha of the total tourism zones in Ashooradeh as useful and usable areas for visitors. IUCN formulas were used to calculate Physical (PCC), Real (RCC), and Effective (ECC) carrying capacity which determined by ecological, social and managerial characteristics of the region. In addition, 12 limiting factors were applied for better and effective calculations (including climate conditions, tourism infrastructure, ecological characteristics, and social issues).

For 346 ha of extensive and intensive tourism zones of Ashooradeh, the PCC, RCC, and ECC were 536000, 42529, and 6778 visitors per day, respectively. It is obvious that ECC was less than the others (about 16% of RCC) and presents the real number of visitors.

Ashooradeh Island has suitable potential for nature-tourism, but considering its current management conditions, it is suggested that less nature tourists visit the region.

The present study compares the motivation for participation in nature tourism among men and women participating in leisure activities. The purpose of the present study is based the applied and causal-comparative research. The statistical sample of the study was comprised of 259 people who were selected by stratified random sampling and participated in the research. Finally, a questionnaire was distributed among them and used. The instruments of this research were distributed and collected by Gil (2000) questionnaire on motivational motivation. In order to analyze the data, a comparison of two independent samples, namely Independent T-test and ANOVA, was used.
Investigating research hypotheses showed that there is no significant difference between the motivation of participation in nature tourism among participants. Also, there is no significant difference between the dimensions of participation motivation (linking motivation, recreational motivation, ambitions of competitiveness and learning skills) in nature between participants. However, there was a significant difference between the external motivations in nature gathering between men and women participating in nature tourism activities, the results of one-way variance test confirmed the above results.

According to Universal World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), cultural tourism refers to "the travelling of the human beings with merely cultural motivations such as academic, artistic and learning tours as well as their journeys for academic purposes, taking part in the festivals and other cultural events, visit to the sites and places, travel with an academic nature, folklore or art and pilgrimage…" Technically, cultural tourism includes the travelling of the human beings for the purpose of visiting the specific cultural attractions such as cultural heritage sites, cultural aesthetic symbols, arts and parades events which are situated outside of their ordinary living place.
Nature-based tourism refers to a form of tourism which depends mainly on the relatively undeveloped natural environments for their attractions (Wurzinger and Johanson, 2006). It is mainly related to the direct enjoyment of the intact and unchanged phenomenon of the nature (Valentine, 1992).
Nature-based tourism can play a positive role in the development of the local target community local economy and bring huge benefits for the host economies (Hill et al, 2006). The economic benefits resulting from nature-based tourism include: the creation of local employment opportunities, the tourism revenues, the infrastructure improvement and foreign exchange (Lai and Nepal, 2006). Nature-based tourism has been recognized as the factor linking the wildlife protection and economic development. As some authors argue, the nature-based tourism perpetuates the efficient use of all resources perpetual providing some incentives for conserving the intact natural systems especially in developing countries (Kiss, 2004). The benefits of nature-based tourism depends on the substitution of the productive activities in order to reduce the pressure placed on the resources through providing a reliable and sustainable resource (Wunder, 2000).
Research The present study intends to determine the prioritized areas apt for tourism in Isfahan province, Iran. Considering the components under research, this study is applied-developmental in nature with its methodology being descriptive-survey based on systematic analysis. To carry out the assessment, scoring the areas has been done based on three variables, namely the number of attractions, the level of performance (national, local and international) and level of access (pedestrian or vehicle access) to the cultural-historical attraction sites) and the natural attractions and the human-made.
Discussion and Based on the given scores, the highest capacity for the historical-cultural tourism of Isfahan city is centrally situated in two areas i.e. the center area with the centrality of Isfahan city and North-East area with the centrality of Kashan city and then, Natanz. Since this centrality has been determined based on the number of attractions, the level of performance and the access to the attractions, it includes a radius of 40 km from the center of Isfahan and Kashan cities, as well. Accordingly, Qohi village and Isfahan city in Isfahan town, Mashhad Ardahal, Joshaqan, Esterk, Taher Abad, Azvar, Rahq, Van, Joinan, Ravanad, qahroud villages, Natanze, Badroud cities, Abianeh and Ab senjed villages in Natanze town are located in these two areas.

Based on the given scores, the highest capacity for human-made tourism is two areas Isfahan city and Mobarake.
Based on the findings of the study, there is a potential milieu for the nature-based tourism development in Isfahan Province and thus its towns and urban and rural areas. The research on the capacity analysis of Isfahan province in terms of cultural- historical tourism development shows that based on the given scores, nearly %29.51 and %19.6 of the total attractions of the province and %34.7and %22.55 of the cultural- historical tourism attractions of the region respectively belong to Isfahan and Kashan towns. In more detail, %76.49of the historical-cultural attractions of Isfahan province belong to Isfahan while the scores obtained for its different regions are as follows: %50 for region 3, %19.82 for region 1, %13.36 for region 6, %10.91for region 5.
The research on the capacity-analysis of Isfahan Province regarding natural tourism development show that based on the assigned scores, Isfahan Province is divided into four categories with the highest scores being for Semirom, Chadegan, Fereydunshahr and Freydan towns so that they can be considered as the areas appropriate for nature-based tourism development. To explain more, based on the given scores, %92.06 and %68.18 of the tourism capacity of these two cities belong to the nature-based tourism. Hence, it has the highest frequency and a good situation across the province area in this regard. On the other hand, although Semirom and Fereydunxhahr towns both account for only %14.38 of the province area, they possess %15.18 and %11.78 of the nature-based tourism attractions in this region.
