Historical evidence shows that during the historical period of Iran, at least from the period of Qobad I of Sassanid Dynasty (after the victory over the Romans in ۵۰۲ AD) until about ۶۰ years ago in ۱۳۴۲ AH (۱۹۶۳ AD), for almost ۱۵ centuries, a province/state was named after the province of Fars and sometimes independently of it, called the province of Arjan and Kohgiluyeh (Gaube, Heinz, ۱۳۵۹). However, now most of the Kohgiluyeh sub-mountains, including Behbahan, Zeydoon and Lirawi, have been separated from the body of Kohgiluyeh (the old city of Behbahan), and Behbahan and Zeydoon have joined Khuzestan and Lirawi have joined the port of Bushehr, and the back of the mountain and a little of the sub-mountains form the province of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad, but the human, historical, cultural, ethnic and identity ties of this historical geography are never broken (Mokhtaran, Dolati, ۱۳۹۴).

This research, looking at the historical, cultural and natural capacities of the historical area of ??Arjan, has introduced a "tourism system" centered on Behbahan city - as the heritage of Arjan - in an area that includes Behbahan, Aghajari, Omidieh and Hindijan cities in the south and southeast of Khuzestan province, all of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces, and the ports of Deylam and Genaveh in the north of current Bushehr province. This system will be able to achieve this goal by defining a set of interconnected historical monuments, attractive nature tourism routes in the Zohreh and Jarahi watersheds, and cultural tourism in a single cultural area, and also increase the tourism season in this region as a single tourism system.
