Knowing the areas prone to tourism development, including nomadic tourism, can be a platform for planning and development. Kohrang region in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province has a favorable capacity for the development of nomadic tourism due to the nomadic community. Considering this capacity, proper planning should be done according to its land use. The aim of this research is to evaluate the land suitability of Kohrang region for nomadic tourism planning in the geographic information system (GIS). The descriptive-analytical research method is based on the spatial data of the country's mapping organization in 2012. The analysis was done based on the fuzzy AHP method in Arc GIS software. The data were fuzzified and standardized in the software environment. In order to compare the criteria and sub-criteria, the opinion of 10 experts was used for comparison in the Expert Choice software. Finally, the maps related to each criterion were prepared and finally, the land suitability map was compiled for regional tourism planning. The results showed that eight criteria can be used in evaluating land suitability for nomadic tourism planning. Three criteria of proximity to water resources with a weight of 0.268, land cover with a weight of 0.237 and proximity to the road with a weight of 0.145 were recognized as the most important criteria in evaluating the suitability of land for nomadic tourism. The results showed that the most suitable land for nomadic tourism was 258.471 square kilometers, which is equivalent to 12.80% of the area of the region. Also, relatively suitable lands for the planning of nomadic tourism have been allocated 27.57% of the lands of the region. The analysis of Moran's algorithm in the field of the pattern of distribution of lands susceptible to nomadic tourism shows that the identified lands are distributed in clusters and the most concentration of susceptible lands is located in the northwestern and eastern parts of the region. In general, the region has suitable lands for planning and developing nomadic tourism.

Nomadic regions of Iran with their unique cultural and natural attractions are considered as one of the most important options for the development of ecotourism in the country. However, the framework and factors of nomadic tourism development have been less considered in previous studies. Accordingly, the present study aims to provide a model for the development of nomadic tourism by using the structural modeling-interpretation approach. For this purpose, the required data were collected and analyzed from the Shahsavan nomadic areas in northwestern Iran with a qualitative-quantitative research approach. For this purpose, using snowball sampling and through semi-structured interviews with 19 tourism experts consisting of university professors, tourism experts and nomadic community, the dimensions and factors affecting the development of nomadic tourism were identified and categorized. In the next step, using interpretive structural modeling (ISM), the relationships between the dimensions were determined and analyzed in an integrated way, then using MICMAC analysis, independent, dependent, effective and two key aspects in the development of nomadic tourism were identified. The results showed that empowerment of nomadic community as the key two-way variable is one of the most important drivers of nomadic tourism development and its strengthening and development should be a priority in policy and planning for nomadic tourism development. On the other hand, social capital, government activism, structural-institutional factors were identified as strategic variables affecting the development of nomadic tourism.

Wrong policies regarding the nomadic community have caused the number of nomadic populations to decrease compared to the past and the nomads are being pushed towards monogamy. Meanwhile, the nomadic community of Iran has high potentials to attract tourists, the income of which can be considered as a complementary livelihood option for nomads. The use of tourism capabilities requires policy-making and knowledge of the factors affecting the development of nomadic tourism. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the development of nomadic tourism as a complement to nomadic livelihood. This research is a qualitative research and has been done using the content analysis of semi-structured interviews with experts. Thematic analysis was used to extract the hidden concepts related to the factors affecting nomadic tourism and were classified into two categories of positive and negative factors. Positive factors that have a positive impact on the development of nomadic tourism include: social capital, government activism, environmental power, cultural and symbolic capital, economic power, facilities and infrastructure, and empowerment of nomadic society. Negative factors in the development of nomadic tourism also included cultural barriers, social barriers, environmental barriers, cognitive-knowledge barriers, and inattention to nomads.

In the contemporary world, has man many interactions within the context of geographic spaces. Every interaction has its influence on tourism space production and supply patterns. In these patterns the welfare of local citizens and rural people is of main interest. The structural decence in post-modernist challenges of tourism has been bearing drastic changes.The post modernist tourism inclines toward the consumption of cultural and traditional spaces in an inheritant approach. whereas the tribal societies as a great heritage of the past remain in a mutual epistemological relationship with their environment consisting of historical reflection, it can be taken into account as a main tourism attraction phenomenon.

There are many resources and capacities for the development of nomadic tourism in Iran, which have been neglected in terms of implementation and research. The necessity of examining the process of scientific research in any field of knowledge is due to the importance of presenting a clear picture of the scientific course of these researches and identifying research gaps in that field of knowledge.Purpose of the research: The purpose of this research is to describe and analyze the content of Iranian nomadic tourism researches.

The current research is descriptive-exploratory in terms of its purpose, in terms of the nature of the data, it is qualitative based on archival secondary data, and in terms of analysis, it is quantitative based on quantitative content analysis. The statistical population of the research includes all scientific articles and theses that have been published focusing on nomadic tourism. Upon receiving the files of these studies, they were combined and analyzed based on the research questions using SPSS22 and Microsoft-Excel 2016 software.Geographical area of research: The current research does not have a specific geographical area and with the approach of documentary-archival review, it has considered all the researches in the field of nomadic tourism.

The number of nomadic tourism researches is 68, and its beginning dates back to 1386. In 1400 and 1401, the largest number of it was published, but in 1402, it faced a significant decrease. 53% of the researches have been published in the geographical field. The most academic specialization has been combined (interdisciplinary) and geographical.The most subject trends are related to planning issues, capacity measurement of resources in nomadic regions and communities, and the effects of nomadic tourism, and most study approaches are related to scientific and knowledge-oriented approaches. Nomadic tourism is more related to the approaches of natural-cultural tourism, rural tourism and the construction of eco-residence. Qashqai and Bakhtiari tribes and Fars and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces were considered more than others in these studies. Most of the researches have used the quantitative method. The impactful role of nomadic tourism has been more pronounced and these researches have been conducted mostly from the supply-side.

As a general conclusion, the researchers of this field have taken the scientific and knowledge-oriented process in nomadic tourism researches and as a result policy making and the correct implementation of policies, but the process of these researches has suffered a premature decline in 1402. Practical suggestions based on findings and results were presented to the extent of adaptation by researchers in order to modify previous approaches or start new researches in this field.

Nowadays, nomadic tourism has become very important due to its connection with nature and local culture. The construction of nomadic tourism ecocamps is a clear example of planning in this field. In this regard, planning for its growth and development is essential.Purpose of the research: The purpose of this research is to identify and locate potential areas for nomadic tourism ecocamps in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari region.

The descriptive-analytical research method is based on spatial data and a questionnaire using the paired comparison method. The statistical community is made up of experts related to the subject, 30 of whom were selected to compare pairs of indicators using the AHP method. Algorithms in GIS were also used to draw maps and to locate areas prone to the construction of nomadic ecocamps. The research indicators are height, slope, soil, land use and cover, proximity to water sources, distance from protected areas, distance from fault line, distance from landslide, average annual temperature, average annual precipitation, proximity to communication road, Proximity to the city, proximity to the village, population density.Geographical area: The geographical area of the research is the nomadic areas of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.Findings and

The most important criterion for the establishment of a tourism ecocamp is proximity to water sources with an importance factor of 0.148. After that, indicators of proximity to the communication road with an importance factor of 0.130; Land use with a weight of 0.109 and distance from landslides with a score of 0.096 are known.

The results showed that 10 ecocamps including Chelgerd, Shermak, Hirgan, Sheikh Alikhan, Shaleel, Samsami, Barz, Qala Madrasa, Maze Sokhte and Keri Beniche can be designed and planned for the development of nomadic tourism in this region.

The social composition of Iranian society consists of three distinct populations: urban, rural and nomadic. Due to the fact that Iran has different ethnicities since ancient times, in this regard, it has a very suitable platform for planning all kinds of tourism, and due to the fact that it is one of the few countries where migration continues as in the past, and the nomads of Iran still have their traditions. It can be a good place for nomadic tourism, in the meantime, the nomadic territory with its natural attractions, traditional, cultural and environmental resources and potentials is a great opportunity for the development of nomadic tourism in Iran.

The purpose of the research: 

The purpose of the present research is to examine and analyze the neglected capacities of tourism in the nomadic area Razvanshahr. The purpose of the research The purpose of the present research is to examine and analyze the neglected capacities of tourism in the nomadic area Razvanshahr.Geographical area: Rezvanshahr county is located in the northern part of Iran, between the shores of the Caspian Sea and the Talash mountain range, and consists of two plains and mountains. This city has a common border with the Caspian Sea and Talesh city from the north, Khalkhal city from the west, Soumesara and Masal cities from the south, and Bandar Anzali city from the east.

According to experts, Razvanshahr region has a great and extensive religion, has an original and ancient civilization, and due to its special location and favorable climate and weather, it has many historical, cultural, and natural attractions. It has also provided a lot for nomadic tourism, among them; (Nomadic life customs) with a weight value of (0.411) is one of the most important neglected capacities in this area, and progress and development in this area can be a great help in better identifying nomadic tourism in this area.

Identifying the neglected capacities of nomadic tourism is a part of the tourism market and a source of employment and income, and a strategy to preserve the environment and traditional culture of nomads, and a complementary and diversifying source in the nomadic economy, and as a result, a policy for economic development. It is considered social and ecological of nomadic societies.

Iran’s Nomadic communities are now facing major challenges regarding their livelihoods. The forced transition of their settled lifestyle due to these challenges can have undesirable outcomes for their quality of life. The nomadic communities as a part of Iran’s ethnic heritage has the capacity to employ tourism for diversifying its economy and the country’s tourism product diversity. Therefore, the importance of identifying those factors that contribute to the community’s capability to build their livelihood resilience is justified. This paper aims at exploring the factors that can improve nomadic communities resilient. Furthermore, this study attempts to present a livelihood resilience framework with a particular focus on nomads. So, the research contributes to the theoretical and applied dimensions of livelihood resilience. To accomplish these goals, a qualitative contextual case study method was employed. We used semi-structured interviews with Qashqai nomads and key informants. In addition, direct observation and unobtrusive data were collected in the study. We used thematic analysis to interpret interviews. Based on stability landscape theory, factors contribute to the nomadic livelihood resilience were categorized as seven main themes, including: livelihood characteristics and internal constraints (implying resistance); internal enablers (implying adaptive capacity); quality of life (implying precariousness); external constraints; external enablers and changes and stresses (implying panarchy theory).
