Abstract: (526 Views)
Ecotourism as a part of the tourism industry is sensitive to environmental changes. Climate change and especially global warming can cause prosperity or stagnation. Reducing the consequences of future heat waves depends on identifying the mechanism of heat waves, and the meteorological systems that create them, predicting and providing ways to reduce the harmful effects of heat waves on public health, and tourism, and identifying vulnerable areas. It is related to heat waves. The present study was conducted to analyze heat waves and their effects on the ecotourism attractions of Khuzestan province. A descriptive-analytical method has been used in this study. Using the maximum temperature data in four stations located in the main geographical directions of Khuzestan province, for the statistical period of 1987 to 2020 and categorized using the 90th percentile index, the days with heat waves lasting 3 days or more were extracted. Charts of hot months were prepared and Arc GIS software was used for temperature zoning and map drawing. From the analysis of charts and maps, this result was obtained. Despite the existence of existing wetlands (Shimbar, Bamdej, Tembi) in the vicinity of these 4 stations, high temperature poses a significant threat to the water quality and quantity of the wetlands and their plant and animal life such as turtles. It's a frat. In addition, there has been a decrease in breeding and reproduction of the emperor salamander in Dezful station, an increase in fires in the Tembi forest areas of Masjid Sulaiman station, and a general decrease in biodiversity and the length and quality of tourist seasons. In terms of spatial distribution in the northwest and south coasts of Khuzestan province, the frequency and intensity of heat waves have been higher. According to the results of this research, the frequency of heat waves has been increasing in the statistical period, and in recent years, in addition, the frequency, intensity, and spatial expansion of its occurrence have increased.
