Design and organize a conservation- tourism in fringe gardens, (Case study: Sarab Qanbar Kermanshah)

Most of Iranian cities are located beside productive lands which are proper for gardening and agricultural activities. Therefore, there exist many gardens and farmlands in marginal areas. Development of cities has decreased the rural quality of these lands. Obviously, under these circumstances we must take a more sensitive responsibility for the value of marginal areas. On the other hand, with the increase in population of cities like Kermanshah and in the resident’s demand for green and open spaces for spending leisure times and making social interactions, the need for developing new spaces proper for spending leisure times in marginal areas is strongly felt in the city. The role that gardens and farmlands have in respect of recreation and aesthetic might prevent the acts of construction in these areas. In this study, by applying landscape ecology for establishing new activities and practices, we firstly evaluate the existing condition of gardens in Sarab-e-Ghanbar. Then the region is zonation visually. Identification of these zone is made to implement practical solutions for improving total condition of the region as well as to determine features, potentials and issues related to each zone. Finally, with developing aims for design and organize, these studies are made in the form of a strategic plan.
