Abstract

During the last two decades, a lot of efforts in different grounds have taken for completing and developing of geomorphological inheritances. One of the natural attractions of Lorestan Province is beautiful Pole-dokhtar wetlands which define as a geomorphologic tourist place. This area is located at 47˙, 42’ of eastern longitudes and 33˙, 5’ of northern latitude, and at height 735 m from sea level. Evaluation of scientific value and additional value methods are used in order to evaluate of landforms in geomorphosite of Pole-dokhtar wetlands.
 In this study, besides a complete analysis of this place according to scientific, economic, ecologic, aesthetic and historical values, a relation was caused between geomorphology and other natural phenomena. After the explanation of the purposes of evaluation methods and identification of the features of Pole-dokhtar wetlands, the results of this study showed that the scientific and aesthetic value of this location is at the first place than other criteria.  While the economic value of this place receive the lowest rate. The existence of such a situation Indicate lack of identification of this place, Lack of coordination between planners, Poor management of related organizations and inadequate knowledge in the field of geotourism that led to the Lack of economic development.
