Using Discrete Event Simulation Approach in Rahian-e Noor to Stabilize the Quality of Visiting Monuments in Peak Visit Conditions (Case Study: Arvand Kenar Memorial)



Abstract

War tourism, which is known in Iran as the Rahian-e Noor, attracts several million visitors every year. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the conditions of attending the most visited monuments in these trips. In this research which has been done using discrete event simulation approach, Arvandkenar monument has been selected as the studied monument. After examining the land features, different behavioral patterns of visitors from this monument and their probability distribution functions have been extracted. This pattern is analyzed in ARNA software. Based on the output, a scenario is proposed and its impact on the traffic of the memorial is evaluated. Based on these results, some suggestions have been made to stabilize the quality of the memorial visit in peak visit conditions.
