Abstract :
Investigating the drivers of sustainable urban tourism development with an emphasis on ecological power is very important.

By analyzing ecological drivers, we can more effectively develop and implement environmental policies and programs in cities and protect natural resources more. This survey can help the development of sustainable tourism and increase people's awareness and promote environmental culture in the society. In this regard, this article has tried to recognize and cluster the drivers affecting the future state of sustainable tourism development in the 22nd district of Tehran metropolis with the structural analysis method, emphasizing its ecological potential. Theoretical data was prepared by document method and experimental data by survey method based on Delphi technique. The statistical population is 20 urban experts based on targeted sampling and development drivers, 36 driving forces in 5 economic, social, physical, managerial and environmental dimensions, which have been processed by structural mutual effects analysis method in MICMAC software. The findings, in terms of the overall analysis of the system environment, showed that 599 relationships have the number 3, and this means that the relationships of key drivers are very large and have great influence. The clustering system of thrusters indicates the concentration of dual thrusters. From the total of 36 driving forces of development, 12 key drivers include encouraging people's participation in the urban development process, improving the standard of living and social welfare, developing local industries and entrepreneurship, preserving natural landscapes and green spaces in the city, developing local and efficient management in In the field of tourism, improving local capabilities to manage crises and risks, creating sustainable policies and regulations, promoting social cooperation and interaction, reducing air, water, and soil pollution, creating local employment, promoting local culture and regional identity, and developing transparent and shared urban planning. has been identified.
