The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the criteria for establishing a cultural heritage village in the Firuzabad World Heritage Site. The research methodology employed is descriptive-analytical, utilizing documentary studies, field surveys, and researcher-designed questionnaires. The tourism community was chosen as the target population, with a sample size of 350 individuals. Quantitative data processing was conducted using structural equation modeling. Findings reveal satisfactory criteria for the heritage village in the Firuzabad World Heritage Site, yet challenges such as insufficient comprehensive and comparative studies, management issues, and planning are evident. Infrastructure and travel industry necessities play a crucial role as facilitators of the heritage village's functionality but differ from global standards and require investment based on field evidence. Local community support for heritage village-related activities is vital, and educating and raising awareness within this community about the benefits of the tourism industry can ensure practical backing for this project.

The purpose of this research is practical. The method of collecting information in the current research was in the form of library and field method through interview and observation. Also, the method of qualitative content analysis was used to check the content of the research. In the current research, the community of participants were selected from among experts and people active in the field of tourism and coaching in Gilan province. To select the sample, a purposeful and snowball sampling method was used, which was achieved based on the saturation rule by using 15 interviews, which was continued until the 20th interview for greater certainty. Based on the results of the research, preservation, protection and protection of the environment, social structures, and the preservation of the cultures and customs of the communities are among the main consequences and principles of sustainable tourism. It is also one of its negative points.

Recently, in the field of destination management in tourism, there is a growing trend towards encouraging individuals to engage in environmentally supportive behaviors. In this study, the dimensions of visitors' environmental engagement (affection, activation, and cognitive processing) are considered as mediating roles in the relationship between perceived environmental quality and pro-environmental behavior, forming a model. Additionally, the moderating role of visitor type (sport and non-sport) in these relationships has examined. The research population consisted of visitors to a nature-based public park in Sari, Mazandaran Province. Data from 394 questionnaires were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results confirm the mediating role of cognitive processing (t=3.55, β=0.107) and disconfirm the mediating roles of affection (t=1.03, β=0.048) and activation (t=0.006, β=0). It has also been identified that there is no significant difference between sport and non-sport visitors in the relationship between perceived environmental quality and pro-environmental behavior due to environmental engagement dimensions.
