Background and Theoretical Foundations: The restoration of historical contexts not only helps preserve cultural identity but also has a positive impact on attracting tourists and developing the tourism industry. Research indicates that restoring these contexts can strengthen social, economic, and cultural dimensions while enhancing urban identity. Ecotourism, which focuses on providing tourists with experiences in natural and cultural environments with minimal damage, can play a significant role in economic development and improving social quality of life, especially in areas with historical contexts. The restoration of these contexts contributes to the growth and expansion of tourism and improves urban and social life quality. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the impacts of restoration on enhancing the quality of ecotourism in the Qasemov Mansion in Bandar Anzali.
Methodology: This research is applied and of a descriptive-analytical, scientific-comparative, and correlational nature. Data were collected using both library and field methods. Initially, library resources were used to examine the theoretical framework, and then a questionnaire was employed to assess the impacts of restoration in five different dimensions. The statistical population consisted of 210 local and non-local business owners and residents. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, and the results from statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis, regression analysis, and ANOVA test, were examined to determine the significance of the relationship between restoration and the enhancement of ecotourism.
Findings: In this study, five different indicators of the impacts of restoration on ecotourism were examined. Descriptive analysis results show that over 80% of respondents emphasized the impact of restoration on public awareness, economic and social effects, physical and infrastructural impacts, tourist attraction, and the preservation of the historical identity of the building. Additionally, Pearson and Spearman correlation analyses showed a positive and significant relationship between restoration and the improvement of ecotourism quality, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.849 and a Spearman coefficient of 0.842 confirming the positive impact of restoration. Regression analysis also indicated a significant effect of restoration on ecotourism. Furthermore, the ANOVA test confirmed the significant impact of restoration on various aspects of ecotourism.
Conclusion: The restoration of the Qasemov Mansion in Bandar Anzali, while preserving its historical identity, has had a positive impact on attracting tourists and improving social, economic, and cultural indicators. Statistical analyses confirm a significant relationship between restoration and the enhancement of ecotourism, and these results can serve as a model for the sustainable development of tourism. |
