tourism industry

Historical contexts as the cores of the formation and development of human societies throughout history are of special importance in cultural heritage and native landscape. The historical monuments of Iran's civilization, petroglyphs, patterns on dishes, etc., contain valuable information about the history of rituals, performances and culture of the society. The basis and theoretical framework of this research is based on the theories of "James Hamilton" who investigated theater based on the tradition of analytical philosophy, and it will certainly be the cornerstone of many studies in the future. From his point of view, theater is an independent artistic form and not a quasi-artistic activity that is derived from another form, such as dramatic literature. According to Hamilton's "constructive component model", theater is essentially a performance art. In this article, an attempt has been made to answer the question that in case of reaching the eight-thousand-year history of drama in Iran through re-reading the motifs of the Cup of Life and re-creating and reviving the native theater, the tourism industry has the capacity to be the factor Is it possible to recognize this capacity on a global scale? The present article has been done qualitatively with analytical-descriptive method on the collection of images and motifs engraved on the "Kidin Hotran" bronze cup discovered by Arjan Behbahan called "Cup of Life" and it seeks to enumerate the series of strategies and The measures taken in the local theater tourism project with the approach of re-creating and reviving Iran's dramatic heritage from the context of historical contexts on the one hand, and a case study of Jam Arjan's theatrical capacities on the other hand, examine the dramatic foundations in Iran. On this basis, based on the existence of this important historical document related to the 8th century BC, by studying and researching and doing scientific work on the images of this cup, new horizons can be shed on the history of drama in Iran. This research aims to show that by studying cultural anthropology and using Hamilton's theories of theater, they can be used for research on the foundations of native theater in Iran and the analysis and revival of the ritual. The old ones will be a prelude to the creation of native theater and the cultural authenticity of Iranian drama and its introduction in the world arena with the help of the tourism industry.

The rapid expansion of cities and uncontrolled population growth have led to numerous challenges. Therefore, urban tourism, especially in developing countries like Iran, presents an economic advantage that can accelerate the development process. Given that the city of Hamedan holds significant potential as a major tourist attraction, this study aims to investigate, identify, and analyze the factors influencing urban tourism development, assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) in tourism, and propose strategies to enhance the tourism industry in Hamedan. The research methodology in this study combines both field and analytical approaches. In the first phase, research hypotheses and indicators were distributed via questionnaires among 355 tourists, and their correlations were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test in SPSS software. The questionnaire's validity was established as face validity, and reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, resulting in values of 0.70 for the first hypothesis, 0.68 for the second, and 0.73 for the third. The results revealed no significant relationship between the development of Hamedan's tourism industry and the indicators of the first hypothesis. Additionally, the third hypothesis, suggesting low satisfaction among tourists with urban services in Hamedan, was rejected. However, the second hypothesis, which posited a significant relationship between the integration of tourism organizations and the development of Hamedan’s tourism, was confirmed. In the second phase, the SWOT analysis and the internal-external factors matrix (IEFM) were used to propose strategies for improving tourism industry in Hamedan. Subsequently, the strategies were prioritized using the QSPM method. The results indicate that attracting private sector investments to enhance accommodation and recreational infrastructure and leveraging the city’s rich historical, cultural, and natural attractions are among the most significant strategies for advancing Hamedan’s tourism industry.

Air transportation has caused a significant development within the range of tourist destinations in the whole world and as a result plays an important role in defining the dimensions and quality of global tourism. The main issue is how the development of infrastructure and urban services around Imam Khomeini airport can play an effective role in enhancing the tourism industry and promoting urban development. Considering that airport cities are known as symbols of a city or as a landmark within the country, the desirability of service facilities and tourism facilities and leisure time available in them indicates the socio-cultural, economic and even political status of a country. In our country, most foreign tourists enter the country through air borders, among which the contribution of Imam Khomeini Airport City is very significant. Imam Khomeini Airport City, which is located in the capital city, will accommodate many new business and service activities, as well as leisure and tourism for the citizens of Tehran. The expansion of foreign tourism is one of the ways to earn foreign currency and also to introduce local culture to foreign tourists in this regard, the development of Imam Khomeini International Airport and the development of an airport city have become more necessary and require hardware and software components to meet potential tourism demands.

The Purpose of the Research: 

The main purpose of the present research was to explain and rank the role of airport cities in urban development and tourism industry in Imam Khomeini Airport. Designing airport cities based on modern scientific approaches and integrated styles of adapted and native architecture in modern or developing countries as one of the indicators of development in human societies, has always been and will be considered by the world's governing and functional institutions. On the other hand, paying attention to the texture of airport cities can have different effects on macro variables such as urban development and tourism industry.
Identification

The current research method is based on the purpose of applied research and based on the method of data collection, it is considered a mixed method (combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis).

The present study, using mixed research methods (quantitative and qualitative), seeks to identify the elements of an airport city and finally design a mixed model of the impact of an airport city on urban development. In this regard, a field study has been carried out by conducting interviews and designing and distributing paired comparison questionnaires among the experts of Imam Khomeini Airport. The data have been ranked using Excel and Expert Choice software and content analysis technique and hierarchical analysis process.

Due to the characteristics such as flexibility, diversification and pluralism and due to changes in different levels of demand, destination and market, mass tourism has increased. According to the forecasts, in the near future, it is considered as the dominant flow of tourism. The growth of different types of tourism in the form of spatial patterns of urban tourism, nature tourism, rural tourism and nomadic tourism during the last two decades is a proof of this claim. Considering that in the post-modern era and the development of "new tourism" tourists are always looking for experiences, one of the places that is included among the tourist attractions is airport cities. Development of accommodation and hospitality centers, stores and shopping centers, holding special educational and industrial tours inside airports and creating entertainment and recreational parks within the airport cities, which are aimed at spending the leisure time of passengers, visitors and clients. It can promote different types of tourism in most of the world's airport cities, due to the lack of land and geographical location, the types of tourism do not have much diversity and mostly commercial tourism, shopping tourism, food and beverage tourism and cultural tourism are developed. It can be said its spatial pattern is urban tourism. Imam Khomeini Airport City is one of the few airport cities in the world that has the opportunity to develop more than 12 types of tourism including industrial tourism, heritage tourism (cultural-historical), scientific-educational tourism, religious tourism, natural resources tourism, commercial tourism, and so on. Imam Khomeini Airport City has special facilities for the supply of tourism products.

From long ago, water has been the most important element of development and reclamation in the world. The specific situation of water resources, heterogeneous rainfall distribution, frequent droughts and disregard to the principles related to the maintenance and protection of water resources have attracted the human’s creative mind toward themselves throughout the history. Therefore, various methods have been followed in order to discover creative and original solutions for this problem. Moreover, optimum applications of techniques for utilizing underground waters and more promotion of the related training have been considered. Excavating underground waters using Qanat, as an amazing hand-made phenomenon, has been interesting for many historians and researchers. Today, these natural, eco-friendly and stable systems are among the exciting educational and scientific topics in the advanced countries’ research centers and universities. Qanat is the persistent and hidden-in-the-soil heritage and one of the cultural and scientific Iranian treasures. In fact, Qanat is one of the most important native-born buildings in Iran which has been developed as the result of Iranian art and culture through the generations. Studying Qanats from tourism point of view, paying attention to the issue of education and holding training workshops can not only clarify a number of vague points of the native technology trend in this land but also advance economic, cultural and scientific developments in Iran. In this paper Qanat’s stable technology is studied in Iranian culture and its influence on the ecosystem and natural landscape is investigated. Furthermore, the issue of training promotion is considered to be essential whether from technical ecosystem aspects or from historical, cultural, economic and social viewpoints. Permanent utilization, revival and maintenance of Qanats as the human’s greatest achievement are analyzed aiming at expanding the related knowledge and technology, developing a new attitude toward it and advancing tourism.
