Study of Climate Conditions Affecting the Tourism Khuzestan Province using TCI

Nowadays, human bioclimatic studies are base of regional construction planning, especially in field of settlements and urban issues, architecture and tourism. This project evaluates temperature maximum and minimum by using of tourism climate index (TCI), climatic factors affecting on climatic conditions for tourism activities in Khouzestan. This research is an applied research that is done analytical- descriptive method and in the research intended indicators are taken account for 12 synoptic stations in Khouzestan during statistics period (1993-2012). Then, results are entered to GIS setting and tourism climate is zoned for Khouzestan seasonal and finally, tourism calendar is designed for the province. In this research, obtained results show that Khouzestan climate potentials are more desirable in cold months for tourism and these conditions are undesirable as we approach to the warmer seasons and there is not comfort, in the other words, the best bioclimatic conditions is winter and autumn in this state and warm seasons are undesirable due to temperature and relative humidity high changes. In the spring, microclimatic conditions can be created by to build hotels, motels and camps according to climate for tourists feel peace. But, in the summer there are tourism downturn and unfair climate conditions due to climatic drastic changes.
