impact, indicators of economic
impact, and indicators of socio-cultural
impact of pilgrimage tourism; a participation assessment module configured to evaluate the level of citizen participation in urban conservation by analyzing stakeholder responses and determining the level of participation based on predefined criteria; a framework generation module consisting of a computing processor configured to generate a cyclical and iterative
community-based nature conservation framework consisting of several phases, including defining objectives based on community needs and goals, analyzing
information exchange, identifying appropriate forms of community participation, jointly developing nature conservation plans, and identifying intervention strategies; a data storage module configured to store the collected data, the shared cultural heritage map, the evaluation results, and the generated framework; and a
user interface connected to the data storage module and configured to display conservation strategies and
dissemination recommendations based on the generated framework for implementation in the pilgrimage cities.
