Abstract
Rural tourism is a new tendency toward the industry of tourism. That has been brought forth since 50 s.
nowadays, rural tourism as a strategy can undertake an effective role in developing and diversifying regional economy by
proper scientific panning and identifying the potential and limitations of rural tourism. With this perspective, the obvious
role of tourism in ''Izeh" rural regions can be a movement toward regional balance. However, what is important in this
social and economic movement procedure is the investment in places with touristic advantages. But it will not be achieved
unless a proper selection is made among touristic regions so that the ground for progress of the whole area is prepared .in
this procedure, use of techniques and models of prioritization is necessary. Present article, by laying the question, which one
of studied rural regions is advantageous on ranking the potential priorities of tourism, tries to find a scientific answer, using
analytical –descriptive method and TOPSIS model. The results show that among four sample villages of tourism (koolfarah,
Shivand, Soosan and Noorabad villages), koolfarah with 0.895 coefficient possesses the highest rank and Noorabad with
0.427 coefficient possesses the last rank in investment.
