Introduction
Studying, as an economic dynamic with distinctive and unique characteristics, has become one of the most profitable and largest industries in the world economy. Tourism has led to the sustainable development of cities, especially in tourist-oriented cities, and the sustainability of cities is itself a factor in the development of tourism. Therefore, sustainable tourism development should be considered as achieving sustainable development through tourism. The industry is considered one of the important industries of sustainable development in any society, which has a higher consolidation in social, economic, urban and environmental changes. Accordingly, paying attention to the potentials and attractions of tourism as one of the main elements of the sustainability of the development of this industry is of fundamental importance in its planning. The tourism industry is a cultural, economic and recreational activity that, by recognizing its potential capacities and creating investment opportunities in it, leads to economic growth, job creation, improvement of the quality of life and enhancement of social culture. It is not enough to know the tourism capacity of a region alone, but the way this capacity is used is important, and more importantly, the sustainability of this tourism capacity. Failure to pay attention to the issue of capacity in the tourism industry leads to irreparable damage to the environment and natural tourism areas, as well as dissatisfaction among visitors and local people in the tourism area. In fact, sustainable tourism determines the capacity of a tourist destination to be used without damaging the environment and reducing the quality of tourism. The main focus of the research is on evaluating and analyzing the tourism capacities of the Qeshlaq Dam in Sanandaj, with an emphasis on the principles of sustainable development.
Methodology
This research is designed with a quantitative approach and with an applied purpose and is classified as a descriptive-analytical survey study. The research implementation strategy is based on the use of a structured questionnaire that has been developed based on theoretical indicators of sustainable development in the economic, environmental, energy, climate, and socio-cultural fields. The statistical population of the study included tourists, local residents, and stakeholders in the tourism sector in the Qeshlaq Dam area. The Cochran formula was used to determine the sample size. Considering a 95% confidence level and a 5% error, the sample size was 265 people. Also, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure the reliability of the instrument, and values higher than 0/80 were obtained for all components, indicating the coherence and appropriate reliability of the instrument. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, and at the descriptive level, indicators such as mean and standard deviation were used At the inferential level, exploratory factor analysis was used to examine the structure of the indicators and a one-sample t-test was used to measure their significance.
Results and discussion
The findings indicate that the Qeshlaq Dam, despite some infrastructural and climatic limitations, has a high potential to become a sustainable tourism destination, provided that policies are based on the principles of sustainable development and resource management. Overall, what emerges from these studies is that the development of sustainable tourism in the region has faced challenges not due to a lack of resources, but rather due to a lack of management coherence, weak cultural attachment, and neglect of participatory capacities. Therefore, although respondents have shown that they understand the principles of sustainable development from a perceptual perspective, this understanding cannot lead to sustainable change without being translated into coherent and implemented policymaking. This critical analysis clearly shows that the need to develop a comprehensive roadmap for sustainable tourism development in the Qeshlaq Dam area, with an emphasis on prioritizing indicators, defining strategic goals, determining executive policies, and more importantly, institutionalizing local participation, is undeniable.
Conclusion
In summary, achieving sustainable tourism in the Qeshlaq Dam requires a simultaneous approach to the three dimensions of “accurate identification of capacities,” “scientific and executive planning,” and “active participation of local stakeholders.” Only within such a framework can we expect the natural and cultural capacities of this region to not only be preserved, but also to become a factor for economic growth, improved quality of life, and environmental sustainability.
