Research On Theory Systems Of Fauna & Flora Theme Park Planning

Originated in early 20th century in Europe and America, theme park is a modernpattern of garden. In China, theme park came into being in the 1980s and saw a rapidgrowth. Through years of development, China's theme park, as a carrier of urbanrecreation, has become a tourist magnet, integrating amusement, interactiveness, culture,hi-tech etc., which shows bright future perspective. As a newly developed mode, fauna &flora theme park is attracting more and more attention.However, researches on theory system of fauna & flora theme park planning arecomparatively inadequate. Based on the study of construction of theme parks both home &abroad and summary & analysis of related theories on theme park design and planning, thispaper conducts a research on the definition, classification and theories on planning of fauna& flora theme park. Major findings are as follows:1. Definition of fauna & flora theme park2. Classification of fauna & flora theme parks:A. Comprehensive and specialized parks according to the species in the park;B. Tropic, frigid, mountainous, desert, hydrophilic parks etc. according to theecological environment;C. Urban and outskirt parks according to the locations;D. Small, medium and large parks according to the size.3. Theory systems of fauna & flora theme park planning include:A. Sustainable development theoryB. Protective theory of planning (including conservation Biology theory, habitatadaptability theory, behavioral ecology theory and Environment Enrichment theory.)C. location theoryD. Zoology planning theory (including ecological economics theory, ecologicalcapacity theory and ecological museum theory.)E. promote scientific development theoriesF. Tourist marketing theory4.
