Study On The Evaluation About Coupling Level Of Leisure Environment Education And Ecotourism

The fast-paced city life intensifies the pressure of life of people, so that people have an urgent need to return to nature in the leisure time. As green tourism and close to the nature, ecotourism is growing rapidly. However, while tourism activities create a lot of economic value, they also led to a series of problems such as ecological damage, environmental pollution, waste of resources. In order to solve these problems, it is important to strengthen the education of leisure environment. Leisure environment education and ecotourism are two interdependent systems. To study the interactive coupling mechanism of leisure environment education and ecological environment and explore their interactive relationship is meaningful to evaluate the coupling degree of them and conducive to promoting the healthy operation of the two systems. It is of great importance for the sustainable development of the regional tourism and important to the operation of ecological environment.Due to the development of ecological tourism, the environment pressure on the tourist destination and the surrounding areas are increasing. Therefore, to strengthen leisure education environment, and to enhance awareness of environmental protection, have positive significance to promote the benign development of the tourism industry. Based on ecology, pedagogy, ethics, synergetic and the sustainable development theory, this paper aims to discuss the coupling principle and target of the coordinated development between ecological tourism (ET) and leisure environment education (LEE), and to make clear the coupling relationship between them. Ecological tourism and leisure environment education are mutually promoted and coordinately developed. Leisure environment education can effectively improve the quality of the ecological tourism, while ecological tourism activities will have great influence on the leisure environment education implementation and development.Good environment education can improve the quality of ecotourism. Based on the coupling theory, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was adopted to establish an evaluation index system of leisure environmental education and ecotourism, including4layers with27indexes, calculates the weight of each index.Constructed the leisure environment education and Ecotourism coupling degree evaluation model, where C was the degree of coupling, A1and A2were environmental education and ecotourism comprehensive index value. Standards of coupling degree and coupling coordination degree were set. Leisure environment education and ecotourism are interrelated and interact on each other. Therefore, the coupled model and the multi-index evaluation system are built in this paper to analyze the dynamic coupling relationship between leisure environment education and ecotourism of Zhangjiajie national forestry park. Based on the research above, suggestions for Zhangjiajie national forestry park were proposed. The result shows leisure environment education evaluation scores is0.6391and ecotourism evaluation scores is0.6180. Both of them are in general level. Coupling degree(C=0.9983) and coupling coordination degree (D=0.8090) are in good level that means the two system are at a developmental stage. The ecological infrastructure and environmental interpretation system are needed to strengthen in Zhangjiajie national forest park.
