چکیده

این تحقیق با تمرکز بر عملکردهای چندوجهی رنگ در مقاصد زمین‌گردشگری، به بررسی چهار کارکرد اصلی رنگ در میراث زمین‌شناختی شامل زیبایی‌شناسی، حفاظت، حس مکان و آموزش و تفسیر می‌پردازد. با توجه به هدف تحقیق و پاسخ‌‌گویی به سوال تحقیق مبنی بر چیستی کارکارهای رنگ در میراث زمین‌‌شناختی، رویکرد حاکم بر تحقیق توصیفی- تحلیلی است. داده‌ها و اطلاعات مورد نیاز از طریق منابع و با مراجعه به مجلات و کتب مرتبط گردآوری شده است. یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهند در بعد زیبایی‌شناسی، تنوع و تباین رنگ‌ها به‌طور چشمگیری بر ادراک زیبایی مناظر زمین‌شناختی و جذابیت آن‌ها تأثیرگذار است و می‌تواند میزان استقبال و توجه گردشگران را افزایش دهد. از سوی دیگر، رنگ به عنوان یک ابزار حیاتی برای حفاظت میراث زمین‌شناختی، در ارزیابی وضعیت حفاظت و شناسایی تخریب‌های ناشی از تغییرات محیطی به کار می‌رود و به متخصصان کمک می‌کند که با پایش تغییرات رنگ، راهبردهای حفاظتی مؤثرتری را برای این میراث تدوین کنند. افزون بر این، رنگ‌ها با تأثیر بر احساسات و ایجاد حس تعلق، نقشی کلیدی در شکل‌گیری حس مکان ایفا می‌کنند. این امر می‌تواند موجب تقویت ارتباط عاطفی بازدیدکنندگان با مناظر و تشویق آن‌ها به حمایت از حفاظت این مناطق شود. در نهایت، رنگ به عنوان یک ابزار آموزشی و تفسیری عمل کرده و درک بازدیدکنندگان از فرآیندها و تاریخ زمین‌شناختی را تسهیل می‌کند.

چکیده [English]

This research, focusing on the multifaceted functions of color in geotourism destinations, examines the four main roles of color in geoheritage, including aesthetics, conservation, sense of place, and education and interpretation. Considering the purpose of the research and answering the research question of what color works are in geoheritage, the dominant approach adopted is descriptive-analytical. The required data and information were collected through archival sources and referring to relevant journals and books. Findings show that in terms of aesthetics, the variety and contrast of colors significantly affect the perception of the beauty of geological landscapes and their attractiveness and can increase the level of interest and attention of tourists. Additionally, color is used as a vital tool for the conservation of geoheritage by evaluating the state of preservation and identifying damage caused by environmental changes, helping experts to develop more effective protection strategies by monitoring color changes. Furthermore, colors play a key role in forming a sense of place by influencing emotions and creating a sense of belonging. This can strengthen visitors' emotional connection to the landscape and encourage them to support protecting these areas. Finally, color serves as an educational and interpretive tool, facilitating visitors' understanding of geological processes and history.
