As one of the pillars of tourism, geotourism plays an important role in the economic development of regions. Due to its location in the southern slopes of Alborz and its hydro-climatic situation as well as its political position (close to Tehran), Damavand County has a high potential for the development of geotourism, and for this reason, in this research, the geotourism capabilities of this city are evaluated. Been paid. This research is based on descriptive-analytical methods. In this research, library information, information obtained from field visits, a 30-meter high digital model, and different layers of information have been used as research data. Also, in this research, Zouros and Comanescu methods have been used to evaluate geosites. This research has been done in two general stages, in the first stage, the susceptible geosites of Damavand city have been identified, and in the second stage, they have been evaluated using the Zouros and Comanescu methods. Based on the results of the Zouros method, the Keilan Valley geosite has the highest score with 68 points, and the Masha plain geosite has the highest score with 68 points in the Comanescu method. In total, the results of two methods (average points) have shown that Keilan Valley and Masha plain have the highest points with an average of 67.5 points and are considered as the most valuable geosites of Damavand County. After these geosites, the geosites of Tar and Huyer lakes and Chenar flight site have the highest points with an average of 65.5 points.

Geomorphosites are the geomorphologic landforms that are formed in special places, during times after actions and reactions of internal and external factors. Geomorphosites have a great role on identification of paleogeomorphologic evolutions of a site. By evaluation of the key elements of normal landform we can obtain overall value of geomorphosites. considering the fact that geomorphosites have educational, research and cartographic target values in tourism industry, these characteristics can lead to economic values. Geomorphosites have two original values of scientific (by reconstructing some palegeographic features) and value added (cultural, historical, ecologic, economic and aesthetics) in relation to human understanding. We can introduce geomorphosites as landform features and geomorphologic processes s that are important for identity of the earth evolutions. Karaj- Chaloos way is one of the ways that connect southern regions of Alborzmountain to northern slope of these mountainous range. This way accompanied by Theran- Ghazvin –north highway and Haraz way important ways that ends to Northern regions of Iran. This way by passing through beautiful geomorphologic sites that situated in it (such as karaj river, Amir kabir Dam, many springs and falls, dense forests, nice summits, piedmont plains and etc.) is one of unique ways because of its nostalgic values and from tourism point of view. Evaluation of some landforms in Karaj- Chaloos way from the point of touristic view is subject of this research to show some of its sites potentials for enhancing and developing touristic potentials in relation to sustainable development. We used data and tools in this research, the main ones are a) research data including base maps (TehranandMarzan- abad 1:100000 geologic maps,Karaj, Tajrish, Gajreh and Asara 1:50000 topographic maps). b) Documentary data including research literature and library studies. c) Obtained data from the field research and photography of selected geomorphosites and questionnaire compilations. At first we study documentary and library literature and select related ones and classified them. Then field work, observation and photographs from sites done. In next stage we prepare a questionnaire based on Komansco method and ask 15 persons related to the subject and area to compile it(5 geomorphologic inspectors, 5 tourism inspectors, 5 local persons, familiar to the region). Komansco method (2012) is based on 5 values(scientific, aesthetics, cultural, economic and managerial).The final score of every value obtained by averaging some sub factor. There are 8 sub factors in scientific value (Paleogeographic attraction, agent, rareness, completeness, and scientific awareness, application for educational goal, ecologic importance, and diversity). Overall score of this value is 20.We used interviews, questionnaires to fill, tables for every landform data based on Comanescu method for further statistical surveys. Discussion and The research result shows that Sharestanak valley and Pol e ahanygeomorphosites get the highest and the lowest scores(14.61 and 11.23) among selected landforms of the research correspondingly.Sepahsalar basin, Khor basin, Karaj dam lake, Yakhmorad cavern lanforms get 2nd to 5th scores (14.4, 13.74.13.67. and 12.47) correspondingly, too. We can conclude that high score of Shahrestanak valley is because of diversity of geomorphosiets that situated inside it, such as hiking ways, Clear river, springs, rich vegetations, snow covered summits and Nasey palace. Average managerial and application scores for Khor basin is 15.20, average economic value of Shahrestanak is 15.36, average cultural score of Sepahsalar basin is 15.70, average aesthetic score of Karaj dam lake is 15.7 and average scientific value of Shahrestanak valley was 15.53 which were the most averages among other geomophosites. Score obtained of cultural value for Sepahsalar Basin was highest score among scores obtained for all landforms. Shahrestanak valley, Yakhmoradcavern,Khor basin, Karaj dam lake (because of its monumental value, meetings held around it)were among sites that have great cultural values. Differences among groups of geomorphosites approved and statistical equation of them were rejected, which means that at least one of the scoring groups, have difference by other groups in the point of average scores obtained. Statistical surveys show that there was not any error among geomorphosites groups in this research inside attended persons in filling questionnaires.
