        The study of the flora is important in management and development of natural resources because it shows the plant species presence and vegetation cover condition. The aim of this research was to identify the plant species, introducing the flora, determination of life forms, and plant geographical distribution of Kandoleh, in Kermanshah province. During vegetation growth, from 2020 we collected and identified plant species in the study region, and floristic list was provided. The results showed the collected species belong to 78 genera and 21 species in the region. The most important families were, Graminae (15.51%), Compositae (13.79%) and Leguminosae (10.3%) and Campanulaceae (9.48%) and Labiatae (8.6%).

The high percentage of hemicritopathitis species indicated that the area has cold climate.

        Abstract Tourism is regarded as an inflectional factor in developing the communications between nations worldwide in today’s world, providing job opportunities in the economic sector and fostering socio-cultural interactions. On the other hand, rural tourism has widely been researched by a wide variety of scholars around the world, as it can help create new jobs, increase the residents’ revenues, and mitigate poverty, especially in villages that enjoy cultural attractions. Therefore, this sought to investigate the key factors and influential driving forces involved in developing tourism in Kandoleh village using the Delphi method and the future study approach. This study is considered applied in terms of purpose, carried out based on new methods followed in the future study, and novel exploratory and analyzing techniques using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. In this regard, the key indices were identified via Delphi method, and the critical driving forces were detected based on the cross-impact analysis method using the Mick Mac software. The study’s results suggested that out of the twenty-eight key factors identified, efficient management and designation of Kandoleh village as the pilot site for rural tourism were the most influential elements in developing tourism within the village, followed by factors such as increased investments by the private sector, advertising, registering and preserving historical and cultural monuments, and providing security for tourists, respectively.
