This research explained how tourism activity influenced the society. The impact that was elaborated in this study was “economic, sociocultural, and environmental” aspects. The research method in this study is descriptive-analytical and correlational. Most of the data are based on field studies and sampling method (Cochran) to evaluate the effects of tourism development on rural settlements; 384 villagers have been interviewed. Findings of the study show that in contrast to the survey of villagers and tourists who evaluated the highest effect in relation to the economic dependent variable with an average rank of 4.1752, in the stepwise regression study the most changes are related to the social and cultural and physical and environmental dimension dependent variable with a coefficient of 0.080. Finally, Pearson correlation test was used to test the hypothesis of this study, according to which it can be stated. Tourism development has provided positive changes in economic, socio-cultural, physical, and environmental dimensions in the village.
