“…The city of Sulaimaniyah lies in between the Zagros mountains. It was a living and agricultural area for the humans throughout history, this location became a city by Ibrahim Pasha in the 18th century, precisely 1784, the city has become a lively place of education and living since that day (Kopanias, MacGinnis, & Ur, 2015).

“…EPAS is one of over a dozen field surveys that have begun in the Kurdistan Region since 2012. These surveys are complemented by almost fifty new excavations (Kopanias et al 2015; Kopanias and MacGinnis 2016; Ur 2017). After seven seasons of fieldwork, it is now possible to put the Erbil Plain into the broader context not only of the well-studied areas of adjacent northern Mesopotamia, but of other parts of the Kurdistan Region.…”

The Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey (EPAS) investigates settlement and land use from the Neolithic to the present in the Erbil Governorate of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, which includes a large portion of the core of the Assyrian Empire. In seven field seasons, it has documented a broad settlement landscape in a region of great social and political importance, especially in the Bronze and Iron Ages, including 728 archaeological sites. Its field methodology combines traditional surface collection with the use of historical aerial and satellite photographs, mobile GIS, and UAV (drone) photogrammetry. Preliminary results show some unexpected patterns: a high density of culturally Uruk settlements in the fourth millennium B.C., variable urban morphologies in the Early Bronze Age; and large but low-density settlements at the end of the Sasanian period or the early Islamic period. The project is explicitly testing several hypotheses about centralized Neo-Assyrian landscape planning in the imperial core. These hypotheses appear to be confirmed, although the situation was more complex than in surrounding provinces, probably due to the longer history of continuous settlement.

Which makes this village one of the most important places for the tourists to visit (UNESCO, 2017;Kopanias, et al, 2015).

Tourism is perceived as an important development opportunity for the rural communities by Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Kurdistan region of Iraq. This study was conducted aiming to determine the resident's attitude and perception toward increasing holiday-makers' visit and tourism development opportunities in Bestansur village, Kurdistan region of Iraq. In this study structured designed questionnaires were filled in face to face with 70 residents of Bestansur village. The results of this study have shown that the residents of Bestansur perceive the impact of tourism less negatively and more highly support sustainable development in their village. Furthermore, tourism was seen as a source of income generator and opportunity of improving well-being of the local community by the residents of Bestansur village.
