Abstract Many of the benefits passed on to us through the advancement of technology are now indispensable to our daily lives and have created a bustling, noisy and artificial urban space. People see their vacation as a chance to make them relax from work and everyday life. The urban development strategy is the city's development document in all its dimensions. While the comprehensive plans are evidence of the city's development in our country, they play a major deterrent role, and their guiding role is very slight. One of the key and important concepts used to explain the attitude and approach of urban tourism management in Iran is the technocracy phenomena which means the rule of technologists or technologists. Research methodologyAccording to the purpose of the study, the type of applied research is descriptive-analytical and semi-structured interviews, the researcher-made questionnaire with the reliability of 0.84, and environmental observations with emphasis on the three-way method. Data were collected using triangular method through interview, observation, questionnaire and content analysis. Accordingly ، interviews and observations in the context of environment and questionnaires have been used to explain the impact of the technocratic view on urban development plans on tourism. ConclusionThe results of the three dimensions showed that the technocratic and technocratic outlook in urban plans has marginalized tourism and diminished the potential of urban tourism and resulted in the loss of the major identities of tourist attractions. These projects are theoretically and content such as disregarding the multidimensional nature of the city and its unpredictable variables, reducing comprehensive urban planning to physical planning, not paying enough attention to the need for targeting, decision making and decision making, not paying attention. Enough of the need to integrate physical goals with environmental and socio-economic goals has resulted in the destruction of the city's core functions and has only taken into account the technical aspect.
