Abstract: |
Tourism is one of the world’s fastest growing industries and is a major source of income for many countries. Being a people-oriented industry, tourism also provides many jobs which have helped revitalize local economies. On the other hand tourism can cause the same forms of environmental effects and pollution as any other industry including air emissions, noise, and solid waste and littering, releases of sewage, oil and chemicals and even architectural/visual pollution. These all requires a smart and reliable design and management to have both tourism developments in tourist arrivals and receipts with minimum environmental effects which is known as sustainable tourism development. Ecotourism is a form of tourism to relatively undisturbed natural areas for the main purposes of admiring them and learning more about their habitats. Ecotourism also seeks to reduce its impacts on the area visited. It also contributes to the conservation of natural areas and the sustainable development of adjacent areas and communities, generating further awareness among resident and nearby populations and visitors. For achievement to a sustainable ecotourism development it’d be required to have an excellent relation with the nature. And for this purpose it should be considered some objectives including; Understanding the nature, Conversation with the surrounding environment (ecosystem), Companionship with the nature’s speed and Unification between the nature and human. According to these concepts, it has been choose an ancient site at the middle of Mazandaran forests, north of Iran and southern coast of Caspian Sea, with a very beautiful landscape view and historical monuments, named as Abbas Abad complex. Some of attractive objects of this site are; a very beautiful winding road, a whirling stream, with a historical dam built on it at the age of Safavi kingdom (17th century), some ancient buildings and a palace within beautiful gardens around the dam reservoir. At the time being there is a small restaurant built near the reservoir. The main objective of this project is achievement such a design in which an excellent tourism development goes to plan considering both tourist attraction and environmental protection points of view. The main components of the design are as follows: Restore the status quo as a short term program The short term plan has focused on rehabilitation of existing buildings and remediation of infrastructures of Abbas Abad complex to serve responsible and efficient services providing the tourism standards of comfort and needs. Development of the sustainable tourism as the long term design The long term plan has been arranged for establishment of a sustainable ecotourism through the site. To achieve to this purpose it has been put in consideration all academic approaches and experiences of stakeholders, tourists companies and environmental protection agencies. The main components of this term of design were: A deck extended to the nature territory. Some specific pass ways for cycling, tracking and hiking through the stream. A specific site to maintain a quiet and calm conditions around the lake and exciting and fast through the stream. A space crossing over the boundary between the nature and human. Accommodations that are in two types, Camping area and Hotel suits that are designed to focus on simplicity and having an organic feel to better blend the building with its environment and not take away from the lake and forest views. |
