Abstract :
Geological diversity is a feature of the landscape related to the heterogeneity of the physical properties of the earth's surface. Just as there is diversity and variety (biodiversity) among living organisms (plants and animals), there is also diversity and variety (geodiversity) in geological phenomena and complications; there is abundance. Geological diversity and the need for sustainable protection and use are effective factors in the development of tourism. With this aim, in this research, the analysis of the geological diversity of four basins in the sub-basins of Firozabad, Dahram, Mehkoyeh, Meimand were investigated. The research method is based on analytical and descriptive methods and based on the preparation of lithology layers and TPI, five geodiversity index ,namely roughness density of each piece, Simpson's roughness coefficient, Shannon's roughness coefficient, Shannon's diversity coefficient, Simpson's diversity coefficient and density were calculated. The roughness was prepared. The results of calculating the indicators showed that Firozabad basin has the highest geodiversity coefficient, including Simson and Shannon smoothness and diversity, and compared to other basins of the city, it has high tourism potential.
