Some of these shrines, such as the shrines of Mashhad and Qom, have pilgrims from different cities and countries. Pilgrimage tourism in Shiite cities has various dimensions and needs that lack of attention to them creates various problems. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to explain the dimensions and strategies for the development of pilgrimage tourism in the pilgrimage cities of Iran, which has been done by researching the content of the text with a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach. The results indicate that shrines have different typologies such as the tombs of imams, religious leaders, and shrines. Pilgrimage tourism in the pilgrimage cities of Iran has physical, functional, access and movement spatial components, urban, social, cultural, and environmental landscape, which requires comprehensive planning and design and a special perspective for the development of the shrine in all dimensions. It is also necessary to pay attention to local conditions and cultural and social contexts, rituals and traditions of pilgrimage, the needs of pilgrims, functional infrastructure, tourism, and services.
