  Today, mountains are one of the most popular leisure centers. The purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution of pollutants in the mountainous tourist area of Mashhad. This study is cross-sectional in terms of implementation time and applied in terms of outputs. In terms of analysis, it is descriptive-analytical as well as comparative. Data on 6 air pollutants (carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone and particulate matter) and noise pollution were collected and analyzed at the research area. The level of noise pressure in the region was recorded in different times. To investigate the situation of pollution risk assessment method in the region, quantitative risk assessment technique - William Fine method was used. The results showed that air pollution and noise pollution in Kuhsangi tourist area of Mashhad are inappropriate. And this is an alarm for the officials of Kuhsangi region. Therefore, Kuhsangi mountain tourism has the necessary potentials, but in general, there are a number of obstacles that can be solved by forming a nature tourism committee and providing logical solutions for the development of this industry by holding regular meetings with members of geography experts.

  Introduction:The existence of mountains near Tehran has created an opportunity for economic development, and is suitable for citizens to spend their leisure time as well. The tourism growth trend in these areas, without taking into account the strategic planning, has led to adverse environmental impacts especially to mountain areas adjacent to Tehran Municipality Region 1 due to uncontrolled utilization. Therefore, the current study aims to assist the management and planning process in area under studyMaterial and Methods:This analytical-descriptive study has been carried out in three stages. In the first step, the Internal and External Factors Evaluation (IFE and EFE) matrixes were prepared to evaluate the current situation. In the second step, the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) matrix was developed, and accordingly strategies were presented. In the third stage, by preparing the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), the strategies were evaluated and prioritizedResults and Discussion:In the IFE matrix the highest weighted score was assigned to “create a structure named specific mountain area in Tehran Municipality Region 1”, and in the EFE matrix “low awareness of tourists about importance of mountains” is the highest. According to the results, 26 strategies extracted. Based on comparison of mentioned strategies, “preparation of the tourism master plan and equipping tourist services in partnership with related organization” is the first step towards strategic management goals in area under study, and “maintaining features and distinctive aspects of the valleys of southern slopes of Alborz with the aim of preserving the diversity of tourism products” is the second priority.
