Governance of tourism in combination of knowledge system and rationality in practice

The abundance of data and thematic information in the field of tourism, on the one hand, and the importance of a systematic system to achieve a competitive advantage from tourism, on the other hand, are the main reasons for the formation of this research, and based on this, the goal of this descriptive-exploratory research is the presentation of the model of recognition of tourism development in Iran. This issue has been followed through a meta-study of the qualitative findings of 187 doctoral dissertations from the last four decades after the Islamic Revolution.  Quantitative analysis was used to describe the features and characteristics of the study community, and then, in order to reread the findings of qualitative studies, the meta-synthesis method was used. A checklist tool as well as the "Evaluation Critical Skills Program" are used for qualitative evaluation of research texts. With documentary studies, the codes related to the components influencing them were obtained.  Reliability measurement with kappa coefficient and statistical software "SPSS" version 24, 71%, which shows the closeness of researcher and expert. Considering that the significant number is smaller than 0.05% of the assumption of independence of the extracted codes, their appropriate reliability was confirmed. Finally, using the Maxqd software, the total number of tourism studies in six categories, including urban tourism with the highest frequency (190 cases), medical tourism (55 cases), rural tourism (41 cases), sports tourism (36 cases), religious tourism (9 frequent cases), and nature tourism (4 cases), were categorized. Also, under these categories, 33 cases in the dimension of factors affecting the development of tourism, as well as 26 cases in the dimension of hindering obstacles, and finally eight themes, including the management and planning of tourism affairs, physical infrastructures of artifacts, cultural infrastructures or behavioral infrastructures related to the goodness of human interaction, Social and security infrastructures, legal-legal infrastructures, natural and historical infrastructures, and professional infrastructures, were obtained. Together, these themes provide a model of tourism governance knowledge. Finally, in the end, the science researcher has proposed the effective interaction of knowledge and rationality in practice in an integrated and networked system as a suitable strategy to achieve the model of scientific knowledge and its desired governance.
