Identification and calculation of tolerance capacity areas prone to ecotourism development in Sabalan Zone

Extended abstract1- IntroductionDevelopment and increasing tourism, especially ecotourism - related activities today has become an important issue The Promenade sources based on natural resources has been established in each regions and it is necessary maintain the dynamics this the resource to be considered seriously.Therefore, the ecological carrying capacity of these resources and provide appropriate solutions to use them in the planning system is seen as something important.In this regard, and despite the tourist potential of the Sabalan and sensitive ecology of the process of increasing the productivity of these resources, Research to determine the environmental carrying capacity was necessary. Something that this article based on is steady.2- MethodologyResearch based on field studies, library and digital and satellite data. The data and information gathering tools in this study The Information contained in Ardabil province and also applications such as GIS are.In order to perform this article, map of the geographic area Sabalan from the armed forces has been production. And elevation levels in 10-class classification and map of slope and aspect was extracted. Also, the digital maps of vegetation, rivers and other natural and human effects also were used.After collecting the information required, the digital editing and corrections was do and the tabular data added to they were. After obtaining prone zones tourism activities, maps were provided the development priorities. Finally, with the use of maps related to ecotourism activities, physical capacity and actual was calculated for each of these activities.3- DiscussionIn planning and tourism management, ability and suitability cognition of land for and applying quantitative methods to estimate the amount of available resources, key role in the planning and land management is performance.So in this article from Boolean logic for classify as zero and one for the feasibility of ecotourism zone is used.And as well as from GIS like the rational function AND , Query, Map Calculator used to for Combine and overlay maps and finally drawings ecotourism prone areas have been identified.Zones that Ecotourism can be more active were selected as Development priority. Also for identify the ecosystem of the area and the topic capacity sustainable tourism development within the range carrying capacity has been studied.The carrying capacity is a process of change ecosystem without structure and functioning to go beyond certain acceptable limitsTo estimate the carrying capacity natural zone for tourism purposes, th
