Abstract

Geo-tourism is a combination of geography and tourism. In this sense, geo-tourism encompasses biodiversity, cultural diversity, beautification, community-based tourism, and even local food movement, and homogeny and similarity are considered its enemies. Geo-tourism is a form of tourism which is defined to ensure the establishment and improvement of geographical features such as the environment, culture, landmarks and legacies and well-being of residents. With this approach, Deira catchment area in Gilangharb Township located in ۲۱۵ km of Kermanshah, was chosen because of its natural resources for Geo-tourism assessment and was analyzed according to obtained data from library and literature studies and field studies using Pereira. Although the region attracts hordes of tourism annually, yet its economic position in tourism industry is not founded. In this research we try to assess Geo-tourism capabilities related to available landforms in the region in addition to identify geomorphological shapes and forms in the region and explore its features. The results of this study showed that the geomorphic location of Galin has high capability in the field of tourism attraction with ۳۴۵/۵ geomorphology value and managerial value of ۵ in Deira catchment area. The geomorphological shapes and forms of the region have high capability in the field of tourism due to high ability in the field of geosciences education, and feature and attributes such as beauty, ease of access, and natural and cultural attractions.
