The purpose of this article is to analyze and identify the factors affecting the sense of place in religious-cultural buildings and to promote these factors in order to enrich the sense of place in these buildings. The research method is descriptive-analytical. The statistical population is determined based on Morgan table = 78n = n. What distinguishes this research from its similar researches is the analysis and study of the components of sense of place in Ali Ibn Mahziar's tomb as the most significant shrine building in Ahvaz, which has not been researched in this field so far. The results of Pearson test, while confirming the correlation of all criteria and sub-criteria with the sense of place, show; The variable of peace and spirituality has the highest and the variable of security has the lowest correlation with the amount of sense of place. According to the results of regression test, perceptual and physical dimensions have the most effect and functional and social dimensions have less effect on inducing a sense of place in the shrine. The results show that in addition to the four components of physical, semantic, social and service, other components are involved in creating a sense of place in tombs and religious buildings.Therefore, it is possible to deepen the sense of place among pilgrims in pilgrimage buildings and religious tombs by providing more grounds for both physical and semantic components.

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.

This article deals with the identification of effective factors on attracting and increasing the length of stay and permanence of tourists in Kashan city. The research tool is a researcher-made questionnaire that was answered by tourists visiting Kashan. The sample size was calculated by using sample power software to 200 people and was randomly distributed among tourists in Kashan. The research in terms of purpose is applied and in term of nature it is one of the descriptive analytical researches based on field studies. This research has been done for the first time with a comprehensive and systematic approach in the region. The results of the T-test indicate that 5 components of historical, religious-cultural, natural, shopping, location and accessibility attractions are effective. Classifying the effective factors has been performed by structural equation modeling. The factor loading of 0.78 for components of religious-cultural attractions demonstrates that this factor is the most effective issue which motivates traveling to Kashan and it is more effective than other factors. Identifying effective factors in increasing tourists’ inhabitancy duration by factor analysis indicates tourists’ services and facility in Kashan, among the 6 identified factors, has 15.46% of the general variance of the analyzed collection. In other words, the improvement of services and facilities could be more effective in the rise of the tourists’ inhabitancy duration in Kashan.

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.
