Mirages of Kermanshah province of Iran including Rijab mirage, with unique features such specific animal and plant species, very suitable climate , roaring waterfalls and etc. currently, as a ecotourism region is used by so Many people And has the capacity to become an ecotourism zone in the province and the country. In this research for feasibility of ecotourism development in mentioned area, first in the identification process, ecologically sustainable sources including vegetation cover, soil, geology and geomorphology has been identified And then in summarization and analysis step data obtained from the previous step, were processed and classified to enter in GIS environment; land surveying was conducted and then it combined with soil map and vegetation cover maps, ecological unit map, which is the base of ecological assessment, is obtained. Unsustainable resources such as water, climate and etc. were also considered.
