چکیده
بازدید از جنگل یکی از مهم­ترین فعالیت­های بوم­گردی است و جنگل ارسباران به­عنوان منطقه­ای منحصر به فرد برای طبیعت گردی در شمال غرب ایران شناخته می­شود. به­منظور بررسی پتانسیل اقلیمی گردشگری جنگل ارسباران، در مطالعه حاضر از شاخص­های اقلیم گردشگری (TCI) و شاخص اقلیم تعطیلات (HCI) استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که بهینه­ترین شرایط اقلیمی در فصول بهار و تابستان در منطقه مورد بررسی بود. نتایج شاخص TCI ، منطقه را در رده‌های «عالی» تا «ایده‌آل» با امتیازهای 86 تا 92 طبقه‌بندی کرد و فصل‌های بهار و تابستان برای فعالیت‌های گردشگری در دوره زمانی 2001 تا 2018 خوشایندتر بود. نتایج شاخص HCI حاکی از آن است که منطقه مورد مطالعه دارای رده «عالی» تا «ایده‌آل» با امتیاز 86 تا 94 بوده و فصل بهار برای فعالیت‌های گردشگری در دوره زمانی مورد مطالعه خوشایندتر است. این فصول عمدتاً به­دلیل بهبود متوسط آسایش حرارتی در بهار و تابستان در این منطقه نسبت به سایر مناطق اطراف، افزایش ساعات آفتابی در فصل گردشگری و همچنین تعطیلات بیشتر در ماه­های تابستان در منطقه انتخاب شدند. این نتایج می‌تواند اطلاعات پایه­ای و مفیدی را در اختیار تصمیم گیرندگان صنعت گردشگری در منطقه قرار دهد.

چکیده English

Forest visits are one of the most important ecotourism activities and Arasbaran Forest is renowned for being a unique destination for nature-based tourism in northwest Iran. This study was conducted to assess the tourism climate potential of Arasbaran Forest using Tourism Climate Index (TCI) and Holiday Climate Index (HCI). Analyses indicated that the most optimal climatic conditions occurred during the spring and summer seasons in the region. The TCI results classified the study area as falling within the “Excellent” to “Ideal” categories with values ranging from 86 to 92. The spring and summer seasons were the most pleasant for tourism activities between 2001 to 2018. HCI results indicated that the study area also falls within the “Excellent” to “Ideal” categories with values of 86 to 94 and the spring season was particularly pleasant for tourism activities between 2001 to 2018. These seasons were chosen mainly due to the moderate improvement in thermal comfort during the spring and summer compared to surrounding areas, a slight increase in sunny hours during the tourism season, as well as more frequent holidays in the summer months. These results provide valuable background information for decision-makers in the tourism industry.
