چکیده مقاله:

One of the cheapest and easiest solutions for sustainable rural development and diversification of local people's income sources is the development of tourism, especially ecotourism. Ecotourism, among other sectors of tourism, is growing faster in the world, which, in addition to its economic benefits for the people, also leads to sustainable protection of the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the different effects of ecotourism on the sustainable development of Iranian villages. This research was conducted using documentary method and by examining various studies in the field of ecotourism in the last two decades in Iran, various effects were extracted from these studies. Content analysis method was used to analyze the obtained information. The results showed that these effects included four categories including economic, environmental, cultural and social, and security effects, each of which included positive and negative effects, and in all sectors, positive effects were dominant over negative effects. In the economic and environmental sectors, many positive and deep effects were observed, which confirms the opinion of various experts on the potential effects of ecotourism on sustainable rural development. Given the huge ecotourism potential that exists in most rural areas of Iran, if appropriate tourism policies are set and the principles of ecotourism are purposefully taught, this capability will lead to sustainable development of Iran’s villages.
