The role of Hashilan wetland in agrotourism: A case study of Kermanshah province, Iran

Spatial factors are among the fundamental components in the location and development of rural industries in general and agricultural products in particular. Studies show that unsuitable location conditions cause the necessary inefficiency in production. The right location plays an important role in market competitiveness and should be chosen to gain strategic advantages over other competitors. Therefore, the choice of location is considered one of the key factors for starting production, and the results of this decision have long-term effects on the political, economic, environmental, social and technical aspects. Therefore, the various sources and opportunities should be identified first, and then the construction and development of each department should be carried out. Because according to the existing potentials in different regions, more and more important decisions are made in this field day by day. For this purpose, it is necessary to identify the effective indicators and sub-indicators in this field to properly use the potential and capabilities of different regions. Our country, especially Kermanshah province, is not an exception in this regard. In order to increase productivity in the field of agricultural production and utilize the capacity of regions, the capabilities and potentials of different regions should be studied and scientific methods should be used to prioritize the classification of different regions for production work and utilization of natural and environmental talents of regions. Therefore, this study investigated the role of Hashilan wetland in agrotourism industry.
