Evaluating the scale of integrated tourism on urban empowermentin the city of Pars-Abad, Moghan

Tourism, as the largest social movement, has multiple cultural and spatial consequences for urban areas. Therefore, in order to effectively develop tourism and enhance its positive consequences, it is necessary to recognize and pay special attention to the role of tourist complexes.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the Tourism Empowerment Composite Scale in the township of Parsabad-Moghan.

This research is descriptive-analytical in nature and practical in terms of purpose. Library and field methods, including observation and questionnaire, were used to collect data. The statistical population for the study was determined in Parsabad city, with a sample size of 352 individuals according to Cochran's formula, including residents from two cities with and without complexes. The questionnaires were completed using a systematic sampling method.

Studied Areas: 

Parsabad Moghan County is a relatively extensive plain, covering approximately 14% of the total area of Ardabil province, with an area of over 1383 square kilometers. It is the northernmost region in Ardabil province.

In order, the economic aspect (733/0), the social aspect (695/0), and the environmental aspect (214/0) play the most significant role in distinguishing the urban capabilities between the two groups - the city of Aslanduz with tourist complexes and the city of Tazekand without tourist complexes.

Dimensions of urban empowerment between two urban groups with tourist complexes and those without tourist complexes predict about 51% of the variance and in the variable of urban empowerment, it is predicted that 50% of the changes in urban empowerment are not examined by other factors in this study.
