Abstract

. Tourism is an activity based on people's need to travel, have fun, relax, relieve fatigue from the mental tensions of modern, urban life and protect human physical and mental health, which is rapidly expanding and developing. The purpose of this research is to analyze the geotourism and geomorphological potentials of the central villages of Ardabil province using (H,F) models. The current research method is Hadzik's model, which evaluates geotourist areas based on scientific index, surplus and vulnerability. Violet's model is also evaluated using management and tourism indicators. Based on the results obtained by applying Hadzik's model, the results were obtained that the geotourist area of Muil is the most capable in terms of the evaluation index. The results obtained from Violet's model also show that Moyil region has a better absorption capacity than other regions. Therefore, it can be concluded that among the studied villages, Muil village is very suitable for attracting tourists. Finally, it is suggested to evaluate the natural potentials of the regions in future studies.
