Abstract :
War tourism is a service activity that has been developing rapidly in recent years. Human-centered tourism has caused human factors to play a very significant role in its development. Respecting the victims of wars, in particular honoring the sacrifices of commanders, soldiers and even civilians who have lost their lives in war, is roughly the common denominator of all nations and cultures. The purpose of this study is to analyze the data and information of war tourism services and infrastructures in the cities of Kermanshah province. Statistics and data have been extracted from the Statistical Yearbook of 2017. The ranking of multi-criteria decision-making techniques (COPRAS) was used in the SPSS software environment. The results of the research show that according to the criteria for prioritizing the cities of Kermanshah province in terms of services and tourism infrastructure of war, Kermanshah with a score of 1 is ranked first in terms of indicators of services and tourism facilities, Islamabad Gharb with a score of 0.234 is ranked second, Ghasr-Shirin with a score of 0.115, Harsin with a score of 0.081 is in tenth place, Gilan-Gharb with a score of 0.071 points, Dalaho with a score of 0.054 in the twelfth position, Ravensar with a score of 0.046 at the thirteenth place and the Salas Baba Jani with a score of 0.028 at the fourteenth.
