Many groups involved in social development acknowledge that measuring social capital can have a significant impact on donors and policy makers. Tourism is formed in an environment that consists of natural environment and cultural-social environment. Each of these two environments contains factors that somehow affect tourism and are affected by it. The focus of tourism studies on economic dimensions was very attractive at the beginning of tourism-related research and has caused neglect of other dimensions of this phenomenon. This has caused that, contrary to the positive economic effects that the development of tourism has had for the host communities, due to the growth of problems such as the creation of false jobs, the growth of the price of land and other goods, and the creation of social problems and anomalies, these communities oppose the development of this industry. to pay The existence of this negative attitude towards the effects of tourism development should be considered as one of the main obstacles to the development of this industry. Therefore, the study of the attitude of the host community towards the effects of tourism development creates a deep understanding of their opinions and views on tourism and helps tourism policy makers in formulating tourism development strategies. The main problem of this research is to understand the impact of gender on the attitude of the host community towards the effects of tourism development.
