Abstract
In the absence of the twentieth century, some developed provinces have been encountered with many problems and challenges. Because, past plans were not successful in development of these areas such as poverty, employment, health, food security and environmental sustainability. These plans have not been successful in distributing the benefits of growth and development that leads to several problems for different areas, especially rural areas. One of the approaches that have recently been considered in most countries, Development of tourism in deprived areas that leads to expand tourism. The aim of this study refers to develop a model system according to specialist’s viewpoints based on deep analysis of tourism obstacles in Saraghaseied village. It should be noted that the suggested model is adapted to extracted demographic information of Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari Province. This qualitative study was used grounded theory (one of the qualitative techniques) for data analysis. The statistical community of this research includes three categories: specialists of rural studies, local and foreign tourists, and cultural heritage experts. The purposed sampling (19 person by snowball method) via interviews -structured and semi-structured interviews- are classified and analyzed. The results of the present study showed that Sraaghaseid tourist village has been faced to infrastructural problems, marketing, health and the other mentioned problems.
