Ecology tourism is a brand new traveling mode that has been developing rapidly in recent years. It contributes a lot to the environmental protection and the balancing of economical development and improvement of ecotype. Ecology touring activities carried out in forest areas provide an effect way to develop and exploit the forest resources and the surrounding ecological environment. It can also help to readjust the structure of forestry estate and stimulate the development of economy in mountainous areas, thus increasing the income of the local residents and accelerating the modernization of agriculture in that region. With its rapid development, ecology tourism has gained great attention and concern of different lines of the society, varying from the government, international organizations, experts and scholars to the public. Relevant problems arose during the development of ecology touring have become heated topics in different researching fields, such as ecology, resources and environment protection, tourism economy and rural development. Researchers at home and abroad have carried out study and explorations on the theories and practice of ecology tourism from different angle and aspects so as to discover the internal mystery of it. At the same time, the development of ecology touring has given rise to many problems that call for immediate solutions, such as how to protect resources and environment, how to make the development of ecology tourism sustainable and how to evaluate the profits from ecology touring. Solutions to these problems have to be based on an adequate mastery and analysis of the basic structure, important features and functioning patterns of the ecology tourism system. This paper seeks to make out scientific and feasible regional landscape program designing and projects of the development of ecology tourism for the regulation and control of the tourists' behavior and the influence on natural resources and environment caused by the construction and development of ecology tourism. It also aims to provide technical guidance and service to the optimization of the functioning system of ecology tourism and the coordination of the relationship between resources, environment, economic profits and social profits. In addition, some possible solutions to the problems calling for urgent attention are put forward along with some facilitating enlightments of the theoretical study and practice on sustainable development of ecology tourism.Currently, the research on ecology tourism focuses on the features, exploitation, development, programming and management of it. The influence of ecology tourism on natural resources and environment, tourists' behavior, ecological features of it, and profits from ecology touring and its comprehensive evaluation are also among the main concerns of it. Most of these researches are qualitative researches and descriptions, so some further quantitative research and analysis are in need. Quantitative analysis on ecology tourism is mainly about the bearing capacity of the touring environment.I carried out my study in Source of Taihu Lake Touring Zone, which boasts its forests and mountainous region landscape, in Lin'an, Hangzhou. It firstly developed ecologytouring in Zhejiang province. Longxu Gorge was studied as the key object because it has already carried out ecology touring activities. Different researching methods such as second-hand data collecting, fieldwork, interviews and questionnaires were employed to collect the information needed in my research. On the basis of the surveys and analysis, I put the focus of my study on ecology tourism and its influence on forest resources and environment, features of tourists, dynamic change of the landscape in ecology touring zone, and comprehensive evaluation on profits from ecology touring, and relevant quantity analyzing method is also presented. Through systematic analysis, mathematical model building, model application and case analysis, corresponding results are obtained and some suggestions are give in the paper.The ma...
