Rural tourism and sense of place
The book addresses the architectural dimension of rural tourism, linking planning for stays and leisure with the natural setting and village life.
Ecotourism beyond nature trips
Ecotourism differs from purely nature-based tourism: protecting the environment, respecting the local community and managing visitors' impact all matter.
Lodging design and nature
Siting, slope, shade, ventilation, water, access and privacy shape the quality of a stay, alongside upkeep costs and operating capacity.
From research to nature-based projects
Scale of stay, mountain slopes, landscape, materials and calm are also explored in Azhianeh's tourism studies. This is a continuation of the authors' concerns, not a claim that projects were designed directly from the book.
