Coastal Deserts Management by Assessing the Land Suitability of Mangrove Wetland Ecosystems in Attracting Tourists

One of the most important services of mangrove wetland ecosystems Avecenniamarina, Forssk. Vierh in addition to protecting the beach from sea waves, reducing fine dust and preventing coastline erosion, is their high visibility feature. The present study was down in the framework of the FAO instruction to determine the land evaluation. The method limitations of conditions in the situation and quality of the land were used to combine degrees of merit to identify the environmental factors include strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threat, prioritize factors, providing solutions, and strategy with the aim of developing sustainable tourism in the area. For this purpose, matrix assessment internal factors (IFE), evaluation of external factors (EFE) and matrix strategy formulation were used. Finally, the strategies were prioritized according to the results of the QSPM matrix (strategic quantitative evaluation matrix). Results show that about 61.1% of the area has S1 class and appropriate tourism and 18 % of the Koleghan basin in the S3 class and has merit low for tourism, 12.48% in the N class with the lack of merit for tourism and finally the S2 class with an area of equivalent to 8.45% of average merit of tourist up give. Temperature, soil, elevation, access paths, distance to city and welfare facilities are factors enhancing merit area study for tourism. The results obtained in the other method show that in the Koleghan basin, 10 parameters were identified as strengths, with a mean score of 0.618 and 6 parameters identified as a threat If we use the capacity of the strength and efforts to addressing the threat factors, this area with Avecennia marina, Forssk. Vierh ecosystem will create a very good tourism opportunity.
