영문 초록

Pilgrims are the special tourists whose purpose is to visit the places where they become involved in the religious activities. In more recent times, however, it has been suggested that modern tourism has become the functional and symbolic equivalent of more traditional religious practices, such as festivals and pilgrimages. In Iran, Zoroastrians are not a big population but their rituals remain widely respected not only in Iran but other parts of the world. The most important holy place in Iran for Them is Chak-Chak(Pir-e Sabz) place on a hill 52 ㎞ to the desert province of Yazd (central part of Iran). This holy place is visited every year from June 14-18 by hundreds of tourists from all over the world, they cannot be considered solely as places for worship. However, little work has been undertaken to explore the position of the above named place. In this study the cultural characteristics of the Chak-Chak temple are introduced. Also the Problems related to conflicting interests of pilgrims and tourists are discussed and then some of management strategies designed to minimize these contests.
