Abstract

One of the criteria for sustainable design is "the principle of adaptation to local regions".  In this case, the native, historical, cultural and specific characteristics of the region are considered. This study tried to use an idea of designing an amphitheater in the Besh Qardash of Bojnourd (tourist destination and recreational region) with stretch fabric structures as the contemporary structural systems that have a certain similarity to nomadic tents which along with being in line with the historical and cultural elements of the region, including the historical tomb next to the spring, present a combination of modern and local architecture. This can be a great help to hold ceremonies and cultural events in this location, such as holding traditional wrestling competitions (Ba Chukhe) and horse racing (Turkman horse) in special time of the year. In the following parts, along with introducing the geographical and climatic conditions of the region by examining the technical and executive characteristics of stretch fabric structures, the results will be presented.

Abstract

Unemployment and scarcity of job opportunities count as major problems suffered in villages, especially by the youth. To this end, rural entrepreneurship, particularly in tourism and ecotourism sector, may contribute to the growth of rural economy through strategic and forward-looking planning along with other factors.  Innovation and creativity are turning into one of the essential ingredients of continued development. Rural museums, such as “Eco-museum”, are one of the measures taken with regard to protecting various material and spiritual phenomena resulting from traditional habitats. “Eco-museums” can be deemed as a project to support sustainability, and a significant factor for development of entrepreneurship and businesses, especially small- and medium-sized businesses. Espidan, a village in North Khorasan province of Iran, can exert such an effect and play such a role as an eco-museum. Through library resources and field studies, the present study attempts to examine the potentials of Espidan for strengthening its rural tourist properties and fulfilment of ecotouristic objectives in line with three main criteria:  public contribution, exclusive eco-museum activities, and creating social, cultural and natural conditions (the determining the vital conditions for a place to evolve into an eco-museum). A study and evaluation of the recommended criteria in Espidan indicates that the village demonstrates considerable potentials for evolving into an eco-museum. As effective steps towards achieving continued development, practical solutions have been proposed for fulfilment of eco-museum objectives as such an evolution into an eco-museum can result in rural entrepreneurship.
