One of the fundamental researches for planning and development is to get knowledge on natural features of regions and awareness of their potential.
In this regard, geomorphology as a science deals with landforms and features in terms of identity, material type and effective process in their evolution. It plays a fundamental role in development plans. In this thesis, the Hengam Island as Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf which is truncated cone-shaped island located in the South coast was studied. The present research aims to assess geomorphological phenomena for Hengam Island and its role in the development tourism of this island. The study is based on field experiences and objective observations, library research and data available were analyzed in descriptive – analytic manner using software GIS 10.01. The data used in this study included maps for topography, geological, Land capability, physiography, vegetation, depth and classes, geomorphology and aspect.
Study area has great functionality for use the landscape and with the privileges of the island High natural potential in the tourism industry The need for more accurate planning and provision of facilities.
The results show that morphological topography in study area both in shape and position as well as in terms of its appearance is very important so that it can have positive effects in establishing infrastructure facilities and developing geo-tourism industry in area.

Climate is an important part of a region’s tourism resource base. Weather and climate information is of interest to both tourists and the tourist industry. Information on climate is useful for planning vacations.Processing information associated with tourism and a new era in human interactions, social and cultural structures, especially in urban areas the figure is estimated. Natural features of a place are considered as a bed for creation and extension of habitat, recognition of living system capabilities will be helpful as a guideline in future tuorism planning and elimination of limits and obstacles. Natural features of a place are considered as a bed for creation and extension of habitat, recognition of living system capabilities will be helpful as a guideline in tourism planning and elimination of limits and obstacles. The region of our study is situated on the high level of central Alborz. This region is extended from 51˚, 225' to 51˚, 43' in eastern wing of Greenwich Meridian and also 35˚, 47' to 36˚ in the north of equator. Above position includes special climate because of height effect, some of its features are semi mild summers and cold winters and also its variation slope is lower than 1 degree. However Jajorod and Ahar valleys have a great effect on region's ecology but this region is a combined area of mountain and valley. So, height differences affect on temperature variation and slope effects are quite obvious in this region. Besides Jajorod river, earth slope is various from 5 to 51% and a town, Darkia, around this complexity. Generally Geographical directions related to warm and cold slopes,extended in all four main direction (south, west, east and north), can influence on the construction of effective tourism planning. This study presents the initial ecological studies in this field, moreover, people are more sensitive in weather changes and ecology situation, so the more we inform about these effects, the better we can manage daily activities. This research attempts to identify the role and factes of tourism climate their significance and impact & impact of natural environmental factors, particularly climatic elements such as effective temperature, rainfall and topography on the physical development, physical cities, particularly cities in the region like, Oshan and Fasham. In this article, analytical methods, field and library have been used and the results show the most important factors which affect normal physical development (tourism activite) such as temperature, ice, rainfall and topography. This research is based on effectiveness in tourism climatology data over a period of 12 years, the region's tourism potential areas of Iran and Tehran Oshan and Fasham, which is based on studies of descriptive - analytical using data collected from local weather stations.
