The southwestern region of Lorestan is located in the folded Zagros region. In Iran, karst areas cover about 11% of the country's area, and most of these areas are located in the Zagros belt. Most of the lithological units of this study area have calcareous and soluble structure. For this reason, various karst geomorphosites have been formed in the southwest of Lorestan in two watersheds of Kashkan (Poldakhter and Mamolan counties) and Simre watershed (Kuhdasht and Rumeshkan counties). A large number of these geomorphosites can be considered tourist destinations. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the geotourism capabilities of karstic formations in the southwest of Lorestan province through the model of Kobalikova and Kirchner (2016). The statistical population of the research includes 8 experts of the Cultural Heritage Organization and 7 professors of Lorestan University. According to the obtained results, three formations, Asmari-Shahbazan (27%), Quaternary (25%), Gachsaran (20%), have the highest karst landforms. The results of Kubalikova and Kirchner's model showed that Sarab Teng Siab with 11.5 points got the highest score due to the scientific, educational, economic value and access status and basic infrastructure of tourism, the existence of cultural and environmental values. The geosites of Shirez Gorge, Helt Gorge, Cheshme Shirin Malawi and Ghar Pol Khoda Shirez each rank second with 10.5 points, the geosites of Ghar Kalmakre, Seyed Sahluddin Spring, Efreeneh Waterfall and Khazeena Valley each rank third with 10 points. due to the scientific, educational, economic values and landscape diversity, rarity at the regional, national, and international levels, and access status and environmental value. Gharali geosites of Gizan (5.3 points), Teng Gauzardeh (4.5 points) and Chep Kul Valley and Tulkesh Cheshme with 5 points are the least rated landforms in the southwest of Lorestan. The indicators of Kubalikova and Kirchner's model have not been able to attract tourists from scientific, educational, economic, conservation and cultural aspects.The southwestern region of Lorestan is located in the folded Zagros region.
