ملخص المقالة :
In addition to its positive effects on the economy of the city, the livelihood of the citizens, developing the micro businesses and improving the condition of the urban infrastructures, the urban tourism can play a major role as one of the municipal income resources in the economy of the city. To earn money in the municipalities is one of the things that has a major effect on providing services to the citizens. Municipality's more reliance on unsustainable income causes the city to confront with the basic problems in all its dimensions, including the urban body and landscape and, consequently, the reduction of the quality in the urban life will be seen. According to the surveys conducted by Sarakhs' municipality, it relies on the sources of the unsustainable income. Among the most important unsustainable sources of Sarakhs' municipality, the construction tolls and the illegal income such as the income from urban crimes, construction violations and the transfer of density surplus can be pointed, which a major share of municipal income is earned by this way. To make a sustainable income system, the use of the potential tourism capacities in Sarakhs can play a significant role in providing the sustainable income for the municipality. The method of the present research is descriptive-analytic and in this article, we try to offer some solutions in order to achieve the sustainable income of the municipality in addition to examine the capacities and the tourism potential capabilities in Sarakhs.
