| From the March of 2006 to July of 2008,2,741 objects of forest-tourism in 21 National Forest Parks and Nature Reserves in Guizhou province were censused through field survey and information collection for exploring the conservation-based development patterns and evaluating the value of tourism resources reasonably.Based on the resources classification and regionalization, "336" Aualitative Evaluation Method and Expert Scoring jointed Analytic Hierarchy Process Method were used to evaluate the resources qualitatively and quantitatively,and the resources conservation-based development also was discussed through Empirical Study.The results showed:1.There are 1338 objects of tourism resources belonged to class of natural sight and 1403 objects belonged to Class of humanities and culture sight,which can be divided into 8 main classes,29 sub-classes and 124 fundamental types,and reached to 100%,93.55%and 80%of demostic total respectively.At the level of sub-classes,the proportions of all 8 sub-classes have reached or exceeded 50%comparing with national levels.Sub-classes of geographical and biological sight both reach to 60% in general,and even to 90%toward Forest Parks,which indicated that the high-level of abundance and diversity of resources types can be served as an important feature to forest tourism of Guizhou.In additional,there are all fundamental types of sub-classes of tourism products and humanities & cultures in Guizhou forest tourism resources.Comparing National Nature Reserves and National Forest Parks, there are not significant difference(T=-1.607,P=0.130＞0.05,f=14) about the diversity of fundamental types,but the number difference of objects of resources are significant(T=31.438,P=0.000＜0.05,f=14) because the National Nature Reserves have less amount and more resources conservation restriction to the Forest Parks in Guizhou.2.According to the features of topography,climate and tourism resources,Guizhou province can be divided into 6 main zones and 10 sub-zones of forest tourism,list as follow:â… Western plateau & high and mid-mountain ecotourism zone with puna or cool climate,â…¡Southwestern & Southern lower mountain or valley Karst ecotourism zone with warm & dry spring climate,â…¢Central mid & lower mountain leisure & summer vacation ecotourism zone with moderate climate,â…£Northern hot lower valley & mid-mountain ravine ecotourism zone with moderate hot & moist climate,â…¤Fanjing Mountain & Leigong Mountain ecotourism zone with warm and moist climate,â…¥Eastern & Southeastern mid-low-mountain ecotourism zone with warm and moist climate.Sub-zones includingâ… 1 Bijie ecotourism belt featured with Karst forest,caves and azalea area,â… 2 Liupanshui ecotourism belt featured with summer vacation resort & Yelang culture,â…¡1 ecotourism belt featured with Karst hoodoo & Tunpu culture,â…¡2 Qiannan ecotourism belt featured with green Karst forest & folk-custom sight of Shui people,â…£1 Chishui ecotourism belt featured with bamboo sea,Cyatheaceae plants,falls & Danxia landform,â…£2 ecotourism belt featured with Karst forest,Long Marches & Wine culture,â…¤1 Fanjing Mountain & Mayang River ecotourism belt featured with precious primary forest & animals,â…¤2 Leigong Mountain ecotourism belt featured with primary forest & folk-custom of Miao people,â…¥1 Wuyang River ecotourism belt andâ…¥2 Qiandongnan ecotourism belt featured with indigenous folk custom of Miao & Dong people.3.According to the actual situation of forest-tourism resources of Guizhou,a quantitative evaluation model was built which including Goal Layer(Layer A,evaluation of forest ecotourism resources),Criterion Layer(Layer B,including natural sight resources,eco-environment resources, humanities and culture resources,traveling conditions,peculiarity and popularity) and Index Layer (Layer C,including 25 indexes such as mountain,water,vegetation and animal etc.).The results of model application showed that natural sight,traveling condition and reorganization accounted for more proportion in Layer B,and,air quality and traveling comfort were more important in Layer C.And all of this is helpful to guide the planning and development of forest ecotourism of Guizhou.4.Maolan and Fanjing Mountain National Nature Reserves both had high scores in quantitative evaluation of resources within National Nature Reserves of Guizhou,which were 69.89 and 66.83 points respectively and the indexes of forest coverage rate,plant and animals,reorganization and peculiarity of resources contributed to it positively,but some weakness still existed such as upstate location,extensive development of water and astronomical phenomena resources and so on.Bailidujuan and Zhuhai National Forest Parks ranked in first list with 72.93 and 69.54 points within Forest Parks of Guizhou province in quantitative evaluation of resources.The evaluation results indicated that the forest coverage rate,popularity and peculiarity of resources contributed the top-ranking Forest Parks positively and the factors of animals,essential oil of plants,historical relics and religion performed negatively.So it is important to take advantages of animals & plants tourism resources,popularity of resources and folk-custom of ethnic minorities in Forest Parks for the further development of forest ecotourism.5.Based on the difference of resources conservation and development,four kinds of conservation-based fundamental development patterns were put forward according to different types of forest ecotourism area listed as follows.Nature Reserves:deep development patterns based on comprehensive traits of resources,internal traveling joined with external service development pattern, concentrated and united development patterns.Forest Parks:outskirt-type pattern,nature and humanities resources integrated-type pattern,and resources single-type pattern.Public Welfare Forest Farm:suburb recreation site pattern.And,the Maolan Nature Reserve,Changpoling,Leigong Mountain and Bailidujuan National Forest Parks were taken as case studies to illustrate these patterns.Through this research,the fundamental types,classification and features of main forest tourism resources of Guizhou province were clear and the quantitative evaluation system was set up according to the practical situation of Guizhou forest ecotourism and then was applied to evaluate the tourism resources of 7 National Natural Reserves and 21 Forest Parks.Obviously,this study has the important significances in practically and theoretically to promote the development of forest ecotourism in Guizhou province,especially to the planning of forest ecotourism industry.
