The rapid growth of the tourism industry and the prioritization of economic benefits in protected areas around Tehran have disturbed the principles of sustainable development and leads to increasing pressure on the environment. So calculating the carrying capacity of tourist areas is recommended as a key solution. The main purpose is to determine the tourism carrying capacity in the Varjin Protected Area due to its proximity to the capital and with its unique nature and ecological attractions. The research method is survey and descriptive-analytical. The data were collected through interviews with environment guard, climatic statistics from the Lavasan synoptic station, and using GIS software. The carrying capacity was calculated by TCC as a quantitative tool, in three levels: physical, real and effective. To determine the wide range capacity, ecological attractions such as wildlife visits, water resources and mountaineering were selected and their carrying capacity were determined on the basis of (person / hectare / day) and then compared with the Baud-Bovy international standard. Based on the results, estimation of effective range capacities in all three tourist attractions indicated that the computations were less than 5 people per hectare. Hence, it complies with the world standard. The results of the study indicate the appropriate range capacity for widespread tourism and tourist attraction in the Virgin Protected Area.

In this research, it was attempted to evaluate the Tourism Carrying Capacity in the Khaleej-Fars park of Foulad Shahr as one of the urban parks. The main purpose of this research is to compare the different types of tourist carrying capacity using the IUCN method and identify its weaknesses and strengths as a way to improve its management. Data was collected through field surveys, questionnaires, climatic statistics of Zarrin-Shahr Weather Station and experts' opinion. The results of using the IUCN guidelines showed that the Khaleej-Fars park with an area of 93000 square meters with a physical carrying capacity of 325872 people, has a real carrying capacity of 78183 people and an effective carrying capacity of 39091 people per year. Also, the service capacity of the park was more than the management carrying capacity. Therefore, before designing and implementing infrastructure and facilities in urban parks, it is recommended to estimate the effective carrying capacity firstly, and then designing and application of facilities in accordance with principles and in proportion to the capacity of the road.

Cities in their evolution process are continuously impacted by their functions in a direct way and as a result of such impacts some changes are created in terms of spatial, economic, and socio-cultural aspects. Tourism is one of the main functions of the cities which have a noticeable impact on urban spaces. This article aims at investigating and analyzing the economic impacts of trade tourism and how it can play a role in cities economy, and how the cities are affected by such forces economically. In this regard, Baneh city has been chosen for researching such economic impacts. The geographic situation of the city and its proximity to Iraq has resulted into an increasing level of business transactions in formal and informal ways. The economic interests and benefits created from imported goods and exchanging them has formed a kind of tourism which can be called trade tourism that has expanded to the furthest cities of the country. In this survey some field data have been used and the research method was based on field work, library work and literature review and scientific analysis using SPSS software. Data collection process was based on questionnaire and the target populations were the experts related to tourism sector and urban affairs and those who were working directly in these sectors. Two questionnaires were used for collecting the data from target groups. In the first one the sample was 10 and in the second one the sample size was 263. The findings of questionnaires were analyzed through binominal distribution models and sign tests. It is revealed that the business activities and the employment resulted from this new function of cities in the absence of other sectors of economy like agriculture, industry and services, has left a considerable economic impacts on the city and has caused increased income and employment and higher level of land prices in the city.
