In recent decades, the development of industry and activities such as mining has affected the environment. On the other hand, tourism is also considered as a consequential industry that can have positive or negative effects on the components of the environment. There are a wide range of methods to investigate and analyze the impact and monitoring of environmental risks, which are adopted depending on the conditions and region of the incident and the experience of the eva‎luator. Protecting the components and functioning of an ecosystem requires an approach to eva‎luate the characteristics and factors affecting it. In the present research, Targhroud region located in Natanz was investigated in terms of having a favorable tourism location and the conflict of the number of mines in it by using the distribution of a questionnaire containing 32 questions with the statistical methods of Cronbach's alpha and t-test of attitude measurement. Then eva‎luating the environmental effects of mining activity by considering three options of mining activity with tourism, mining activity without tourism and no mining activity on 16 environmental criteria in 4 physical-chemical groups (effect on soil and topography, impact of mining activity on land, noise pollution, air quality and water resources), ecological-biological (vegetation, wildlife and natural attractions), social-cultural (historical cultural attractions, impact on the quality of life of residents, impact on population centers, impact on visiting the region and the impact on leaving local residents) and economical-operational (the impact of mining on employment, access and transportation and the capacity of the region in terms of pricing) was done using the rapid assessment matrix method. In the end, in order to find out the changes in vegetation and the amount of construction in the area, Landsat satellite images were extracted in 1992, 2002 and 2019 and coded in Google Earth Engine by classifying them as mining, urbanized and vegetation. Also, changes in the area of map classes were displayed through the transfer of processed images to the GIS environment. The results show increase of 250 ha in the area of mines and 7.4% increase in the size of the urbanized area in the region, and as a result, the impact on the environment and a general decrease in the desire for tourism over the past 30 years.
