Eastern Yunnan Tourism Spa Spatial Structure And Its Integrated Development Studies

With the development of industry of rest and tour, the National Tourism Administration of China proposes the plan of "leisure of all people". In order to improve the quality and efficiency of the tourist industry, the tourist industry has started a new undertaking, realized transformation and upgrade and setting up a series of documents come into being in Yunnan Province, which indicates that the tourist industry of Yunnan has come into the transformation phrase from the sightseeing tourism to the fallow and vacationing tourism. As one of the oldest modes of the fallow and vacationing tourism, hot spring tourism is still one of its main topics after thousands of years. Known as "Kingdom of hot spring", Yunnan province is one of the provinces in China which have richest terrestrial heat. Therefore, hot spring tourism becomes "the third name card" of Yunnan province; the first two are "beautiful landscape" and "colorful national culture". In recent years, the development of hot spring tourism is much faster than the research of it.This dissertation chooses the east middle section of Yunnan province as its range of study and tourism hot spring as its subject. It focuses on the space structure and integration development of tourism hot spring by the use of such theories as Geology, Tourism Science, Tourism and Landscape Science, and Principles of Management. This dissertation attempts to determine the tourism value of hot spring from the analysis of the concept and the space structure of tourism hot spring and combine the space structure and integration development. This research includes the tourism function of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of the two megalopolises in Yunnan, the construction of perfecting the industry and products of tourism hot spring, and the expansion of Kunming's economic circle of hot spring tourism. It will help shaping the brand of hot spring tourism of the middle regions of the Yunnan Province and pushing the industrialization of the geological resource for the terrestrial heat and the development of tourism hot spring. According to the above thoughts and methods, this dissertation mainly studies the following aspects:Firstly, this dissertation expands the meaning of tourism hot spring and extends its theoretical study. Tourism hot spring is the natural hot spring exploited by tourism industry and terrestrial heat water extracted from the artesian well. Tourism hot spring not only has the attributes of tourism resources, but also is the other name of tourist industry entity. The study and application of tourism hot spring highlights the tourism function of hot spring and terrestrial heat water extracted from the artesian well, emphasizes their function which can be used by the tourism industry, integrates the natural being and manual gathering and highlights the attributes and functions of natural hot spring and terrestrial heat water extracted from the artesian well. So the importance of the study of tourism hot spring lies in highlighting the trend of industrialization of the geological resources of hot spring.Secondly, this dissertation synthesizes the division from home and abroad of hot spring and terrestrial heat water, and suggests that the tourism hot spring in the east middle of Yunnan province should be divided according to 6 factors:occurrence environment, temperature, flow capacity, water quality, trait of the geological resources for tourism and the tourist value. According to occurrence environment, the tourism hot spring can be divided into the rift zone natural hot spring and the geothermal reservoir water, and the geothermal reservoir water can be subdivided into layer-like geo-thermal resources, banding-like geo-thermal resources and rock mass-like geo-thermal resources. The tourism hot spring can be divided into 3 types according to temperature zone including warm water, geothermal groundwater and hot water,4 types according to flow capacity zone including super flow, large flow, average flow and small flow,2 types according to water quality including hydro-chemical hot spring and microelement hot spring,2 types according to tourism geologic resource including ornamental hot spring and commercial hot spring,4 types according to development values of tourism resources including urban hydrotherapy SPA, suburb complicated tourism hot spring, exurban thematic tourism hot spring and rural tourism hot spring.Thirdly, the dissertation researches into the characteristics of spatial distribution and geologicentity of tourism hot spring on the basis of the regionalization of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan province. The characteristics of spatial distribution are laminar, darkle and blocky according to the types and distribution of tourism hot spring. The hot spring is distributed in the line intersection of linear structure and the spatial distribution of tourism hot spring represents clear hierarchical layered structure. The dissertation researches the geologicentity from the aspects of geologic features, attribute and comprehensive tourism geologic features of tourism hot spring. The geologic features of tourism hot spring are that the spatial distribution of hot spring groups is dependent on the conditions of structural geology and the quality and geologic features of tourism is dependent on the geologic environment of hot spring. The attribute of tourism hot spring is studied from temperature, flow rate and structure of water quality. Basing on the analysis, the dissertation comes to conclusion that the high-quality tourism hot spring is distributed along the xiaojiang fault zone in north and south, the zone of Dongchuan-Luoci-Yimeng, Kunming-Xundian and Luoping-Shizong-Mile in the northeast and the outstanding curviplanar fracture zone in the north-south. The comprehensive tourism geologic features are that the resources of tourism hot spring are distributed intensively in the similar-type environment of tourist geologic resources including the tourism hot spring groups marking with rifted-basins, lakes, canyons and rivers. Combining with the resource environment, the dissertation researches the regional cultures in the tourism hot spring destination and the unique geological landscape of spring tourism.Fourthly, based on the geological background, types of tourism hot spring and features of spatiotemporal distribution in the east middle section of Yunnan province, the tourism hot spring is divided into six series according to the combined scale and region. Each series forms a self-contained hierarchy with regional association, type association and rank ordering association, namely, the hierarchy of tourism hot spring is divided into one region, three districts, eight zones, thirteen sectors and thirty-seven groups of hot spring. So the dissertation analyses the characteristics of spatial structure of tourism hot spring according to the types of spatial structure in detail and generalizes the characteristics of spatial structure which is plaque, strip corridor and matrix. The plaque structure is higher rank ordering feature of block construction in the tourism hot spring region. Due to conditional restrain of geological environment on the spatial structure of tourism hot spring, the best structure model of development is the combination between the natural tourism hot spring and man-made tourism hot spring.Fifthly, regarding the group of tourism hot spring as the basic evaluation unit, the dissertation estimates the tourism value from the view of system science according to the evaluating indictors such as quality value, visual value, cultural value, marketing development value and so on and forms an interdependent and interplaying evaluation system from the different dimensions such as grade of quality, marketing conditions, development conditions, ecological environment and so on. The dissertation also analyses the tourism value of hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan province through the qualitative and quantitative method, level of analysis, and SPSS systematic classification method and comes to the conclusion that the tourism value of tourism hot spring groups can be divided into the best grade, excellent grade, good grade, average grade and low grade. According to the evaluating grades of tourism hot spring groups, the dissertation generalizes the best spatial structure, the best type structure and the unique destination of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan province.Sixthly, the integrated essence of tourism hot spring is actually dependent on the spatial structure of tourism hot spring and the distribution of spatial structure also embodies the meaning of integration. So integrating development strategies about the tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan province mainly proceeds from the aspects of the three-domain basic structure and conception of development models. According to the geological field, urban field and economic field of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan province, the dissertation puts forward the whole development arrangement and corresponding integrating development strategies, which includes the center of tourism hot spring, the circle of tourism hot spring and the exurban zone of tourism hot spring. Based on the build-up effect and competition and cooperation relationship of tourism hot spring, the dissertation gives prominence to the tourism uniqueness and differences and discusses its conceptualization of development. The dissertation views that the development model in the dominant area of tourism hot spring is the pan-hot-spring, while the development models in the auxiliary areas include 5 types such as hot spring & lakes, hot spring & medical care, comprehensive leisure hot spring, hot spring & rural tourism, high-end spa resort and so on, and explores the corresponding strategies of regional development and integration of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan provinceLastly, as to the series of environmental problems arising from the conflict between the exhaustibility and regularity of terrestrial heat water and the unrestrained development, the tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan Province, strategies are raised concerning the sustainable development and environmental protection of tourism hot spring in the east middle section of Yunnan Province, especially the terrestrial heat water extracted from the artesian well (geothermal field, and geothermal anomaly area)...
