| The Effect of Climatic Elements in Determining the Touristic , Physiological Regions of Comfort in Iraq . Assisst. Prof. Dr. Nasir wali Freyh Wasit Univ. / College of Education Dept. of Geography Abstract Undoubtedly , climatic elements play an effective and significant role in making and in determining its requirements since they have an impact in creating the ideal comfort of tourism . Such elements influence the state of getting physiological comfort for tourists' bodies and enjoying an ideal environment . In doing so , such elements help in determining the suitable time of tourism and the destination tourists take to entertain ideal atmospheres . Because Iraq lies in a region characterized by extreme climatic conditions , especially , changing temporal and spatial temperatures which make it a basic determinant for feeling comfort or not ; thus , the present study has endeavored to pinpoint the touristic regions in view of the climatic ones . The present study tries to find answers for the following questions : * Do the prevalent climatic conditions have a role in determining the touristic regions in Iraq ? * What are the most important elements that play a role in determining the ideal regions of comfort to make tourism ? Did these elements produce touristic regions ? * Do these elements produce touristic regions that vary in Iraq , both temporally and spatially ? The present study hypothesizes the following : * Making tourism in Iraq is related to climatic conditions , and these conditions vary in Summer and Winter ; a matter which influence the determining of touristic regions in Iraq . * Climatic conditions become appropriate in certain regions rather than others , whether in Summer or Winter tourism . To verify the above mentioned hypotheses , climatic data are going to be analyzed to determine the regions of summer tourism and those of winter . Since the climate of Iraq has the capacity to attract tourists where this capacity concentrates on the coolest places in summer which contribute in creating comfort ; and the capacity of being warm in winter , i.e. , values approaching the ideal physiological and mental comfort ; therefore , the effective inference of temperature used to measure man's feeling of comfort ( THI )=T-o.55 (1-h) ( T-14.5 ) is going to be used . | ||
