Land potential for ecotourism development and assessing landscape ecology in areas on protection of Iran

GIS-based ecotourism potentiality mapping in the East Hararghe Zone, Ethiopia

“…[ 104 ] employed an MCDA model, fuzzy set theory, and mathematical modeling to identify suitable zones for ecotourism development in Lar National Park and Kavdeh Wildlife Refuge, Iran. Furthermore, they evaluated landscape changes to assess ecological connectivity's ecological function and status [ 104 ] in these areas.…”

“…[ 104 ] employed an MCDA model, fuzzy set theory, and mathematical modeling to identify suitable zones for ecotourism development in Lar National Park and Kavdeh Wildlife Refuge, Iran. Furthermore, they evaluated landscape changes to assess ecological connectivity's ecological function and status [ 104 ] in these areas. Similarly, Mansour et al [ 72 ] looked at seven spatial criteria: turtle beach, bird beach, sand beach, road network, mangrove trees, coral reefs, and built-up area, as well as six physical criteria: elevation, aspects, slopes, geology, fault lines, and soil types.…”

Restoring University of Lagos’s Campus Wetlands and Green Corridors: Sustainable Ecotourism and Landscape Design Approach

“…Exploring delicate, impeccable, and largely unaltered natural places is known as ecotourism [1][2][3][4][5][8][9][10][11][12]. It is a low-impact, frequently small-scale substitute for traditional commercial mass tourism that is common in megacities and urban areas where people travel around for sightseeing [17]. It entails taking reasonable trips to protected regions, preserving the environment, and enhancing the quality of life for locals and the host communities [17,18].…”

Its goals could include educating tourists, funding environmental preservation, directly assisting local communities' political and economic advancement, and promoting tolerance for other people's cultures and human rights [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

Environmentalists have viewed ecotourism as a vital undertaking since the 1980s, believing that it will allow future generations to visit places that have remained mostly unaffected by human involvement [18,19].…”
