چکیده:
گردشگری در آرامستان ها، یکی از اشکال خاص و خرد از گردشگری فرهنگی بوده و بنابر مکان مورد بازدید و یا انگیزه ی گردشگر میتواند با اشکال دیگری از گردشگری نظیر گردشگری جنگ ، شجره نامه ، حزن و اندوه ، و در مواردی خاص مانند تخت فولاد، گردشگری مذهبی و معنوی همپوشانی داشته باشد. این آرامستان ، به عنوان یکی از قدیمیترین و مقدس ترین آرامستان های اصفهان و جهان اسلام ، قابلیت های زیادی در حوزه ی گردشگری دارد؛ از جمله میتوان به فضای معنوی و کثرت مشاهیر مدفون در آن ، تاریخی بودن و قدمت مکان ، مکانی برای یافتن ریشه ها، مکانی برای انجام مطالعات تاریخی، فرهنگی، هنری و جامعه شناختی، تنوع سبک های معماری آرامگاهی و وجود سایر اشکال هنری مانند خط ، نقاشی، حجاری و ... اشاره کرد. این پژوهش با هدف شناسایی مخاطبان بالقوه و بالفعل مجموعه و نیز طراحی سناریوهای احتمالی به منظور توسعه ی گردشگری در آن و انتخاب برترین سناریو برای دستیابی به این مهم انجام پذیرفته است . این پژوهش علاوه بر مطالعات اسنادی، از مطالعات میدانی با کمک مشاهده ، مصاحبه با کارشناسان و خبرگان مرتبط و نیز تکمیل پرسشنامه نزد گردشگران بالقوه و بالفعل مجموعه و گروه خبرگان بهره برده است . مطالعه ی وضع موجود به طراحی چهار سناریو در طول پژوهش منجر گردید: سناریوی اول : ادامه ی رویه ی فعلی، سناریوی دوم : تاکید بر توسعه و بهبود زیرساخت های فیزیکی و انسانی، سناریوی سوم : تاکید بر توسعه ی و بهبود برنامه های بازاریابی با تاکید بر انتخاب بازار هدف و جذب گردشگر، و سناریوی چهارم : تعریف فعالیت های جدید و ایجاد تنوع در عرضه مجموعه به گردشگران . در نهایت ، گرچه از نظر خبرگان هر چهار سناریو حائز اهمیت است اما سناریوی دوم به عنوان سناریوی برتر انتخاب و راه کارهای مناسب جهت توسعه ی گردشگری در مجموعه تاریخی، فرهنگی و مذهبی تخت فولاد پیشنهاد شده است .

Introduction
Cemetery tourism is micro niche market of cultural tourism that starts since early 1990s in Per- Lachaise¡ Paris. The historical cemeteries have so many potentials in tourism¡ such as spiritual space¡ the multiplicity of celebrities buried in it¡ historic and ancientness of site¡ a place to find Genealogy¡ a place for historical¡ cultural¡ artistic and sociological studies¡ variety of architectural styles of mausoleum and other different forms of art (such as calligraphy¡ painting¡ carvings ¡etc).
Iran has many historical cemeteries that can be considered as one of the attractions in tourist destinations. Tanas (2013:22) believes that Death is a cultural asset commonly found in contemporary cognitive tourism. The changing character of tourism consumption leads to the discovery of new tourism spaces¡ often long familiar¡ but relatively poorly documented and studied. Therefore¡ death and all things that related to it can be considered as an attraction for tourists. On other hand¡ cemeteries are part of the city context that in addition to the roles and aesthetic¡ environmental¡ historical and educational features; are social role in the life of yesterday and today.
Materials And Methods
The literature review shows that cemetery tourism is a micro niche tourism of cultural tourism (Powers Douglas 2005:20) ¡ and generally recognized as a subset of dark tourism (Rojek¡ 1993) ¡ that it overlaps with thanatourism by the focusing on the «death». Also¡ cemetery tourism has many similarities with other forms of tourism¡ including genealogy/ legacy tourism (Ray & McCain¡ 2003¡ 2012) ¡ war tourism (winter¡ 2011:463) ¡ and in certain cases; depending on the cemetery of the case study; religious tourism¡ spiritual tourism and historical tourism. For example¡ Cemetery of «Arlington» in the United States¡ Beskid Niski war cemeteries in Poland and other cemeteries that remaining of the world war II¡ after Per- Lachaise are important attractions for tourists.
Dark tourism includes all issues referring to the origins and consequences of tourism connected with death and cruelty¡ involving trips to disaster areas and sites of mass death¡ genocide or murder (Lennon & Foley 2000¡ Stone 2006). Thanatourism (Seaton 1996¡ 2002¡ Dann & Seaton 2001) is treated as a subtype of dark tourism where death is the object of interest and derives from thanatopsis - death contemplation. Thus¡ thanatourism should be considered from the following perspectives: the personal qualities and achievements of the dead person or persons;
the character¡ history and interpretation of the event or site connected with death;
motivations and needs (education¡ homage¡ adventure¡ excitement¡ entertainment) ¡ effects (psychological¡ social¡ economic) (Tanas¡ 2013:23). legacy tourism is one of the emerging form in heritage tourism (Ray & McCain¡ 2001:340). Spiritual tourism providing as a phenomenon in the travel and tourism industry and it is defined a self-improvement project to improve the spirituality (Norman¡ 2012:20). One of the main motivations of visitors to the spiritual space has been in Takht- e- Foulad¡ so it can be one of the most important forms of tourism in Isfahan¡ Iran¡ especially with the motivation of religious tourism and pilgrimage.
Takht- e- Foulad is the greatest and holiest cemetery in Shiism world after Vadiolsalam in Najaf that the tomb of many of the famous men¡ jurisprudents¡ philosophers¡ Gnostics¡ martyrs¡ literary men and artists exist there. Takht- e- Foulad has a collection of the most beautiful architectural structures for the tombs¡ mosques¡ cisterns¡ etc. the finest samples of calligraphy¡ stonecutting¡ etc.
This study aimed to introduce the phenomenon of cemetery tourism by review on the literature. In this study¡ 3 questionnaires utilized. Purpose of first questionnaire is to ask tourists and visitors of Isfahan about visiting Takht- e- Foulad.
The goal of the second questionnaire is to identify¡ classify and evaluation of the opinions of the de facto tourists and visitors of Takht- e- Foulad. Finally¡ according to the results of questionnaires and the scenarios and strategies that had been proposed¡ the third questionnaire was designed to assess the views of experts to select the best scenario.

در میان گروه های سنی نیز ٢٠ تا ٣٠ ساله ها و ٣٠ تا ٤٥ ساله ها بیش از سایر گروه های سنی، تخت فولاد را میشناختند ولی گروه سنی بالاتر از ٦٥ سال تمایل بیشتری به بازدید از مجموعه داشتند؛ نکته قابل تأمل این است که چه استراتژیهایی را میتوان به کار بست تا بتوان گروه های سنی دیگر به -ویژه گروه های سنی جوان تر را بیشتر با مجموعه آشنا کرد، چراکه بنظر میرسد تخت فولاد با توجه به ماهیت و قابلیت های نهفته در آن میتواند و باید به عنوان کلاس درسی در فضای باز برای گروه های سنی جوان تر مورد بهره برداری قرار گیرد.
