When stakeholders have different perceptions and goals regarding tourism development, conflicts can arise among them in various areas. This study focuses on examining the issue of conflicts among tourism stakeholders using a combined methodological approach: meta-synthesis, and a multi-criteria decision-making model to comprehensively identify existing conflicts, identify the causes of conflicts in tourist destinations, explain the types of conflicts, and prioritize conflicts. Analyzing 37 existing studies, 30 conflict parameters were identified using in meta-synthesis method and based on the opinions of 15 tourism experts prioritization was performed with fuzzy Delphi method. The results show that parameters such as hindering the development of tourist activities due to environmental regulations, unfair distribution of tourism benefits, and disagreement in allocating incentives and financial rewards to stakeholders are the most important areas of conflict among tourism stakeholders, with conflicting interests and violation of the rights and interests of others being the most important causes.

the current research is of a mixed type, descriptive-analytical, and in the form of cross-sectional studies. In the first step of the research, through in-depth semi-structured interviews, the indicators influencing the return of tourists to the Inche Barun border market were identified and classified, and in the second step, a conceptual research model was designed and the influence-dependence matrix was extracted using interpretive structural modeling. . The statistical population of the research included customers, travelers, business owners in the Border market Inche Barun, and experts and academic specialists who, to extract codes and discover indicators affecting the return of tourists, using a random sampling method until reaching theoretical saturation, a total of 21 interviews. carried out and implemented in MAXQDA20 software and analyzed using the content analysis method.

Responsible tourism has been identified as an effective strategy for achieving sustainable development goals, reducing poverty, and improving the quality of life for residents in rural areas. However, the different aspects of responsible tourism may not have uniform effects on different aspects of quality of life, which has been a topic receiving limited attention in previous research. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate how the various dimensions of responsible tourism affect different aspects of the quality of life of residents in tourist destinations in the rural areas of Khorramabad County, with a sample size of 20,750. A sample size of 254 individuals was determined using power analysis for linear regression with three independent variables. Data collection was carried out using a researcher-made questionnaire. The findings revealed that the three dimensions of responsible tourism have different effects on various aspects of the quality of life of residents in tourism destinations.
