Recent years, with the mania of application for the World Heritage of Culture, the argument on the relationship between tourism development and culture heritage protection never stopped. Different protection forms are taken in different types of culture heritages. The paper tends to study the initial relationship between the culture protection and tourism development of the ancient village. In the late 30 years, intensive studies have been making on subjective perception and agreement to space both in humanistic geography and behavioral geography. According to the article, in order to protect the vivid culture of the ancient village, the protectors must have deep agreement and attachment to the culture basically. Based on the analysis of the effects of tourism development on locals and tourists'culture perceptions and agreements, tourism development has a great value on the ancient culture protection, and this is the foundation of the mutually promotive relationship between tourism development and ancient culture protection.The thesis consists of 7 chapters. The prologue mainly explains the background and meaning of the thesis, and simply introduces the object, content and method of the research; the literature review mainly obtains some relevant research achievements, especially the research on traditional local culture protection, the relationship between tourism development and culture protection, and Huizhou cultural tourism development, to make clear the direction of further research; chapter 3 elementarily discusses the relationship between tourism development and traditional local culture protection, and researches show that the protection to the traditional culture is the foundation of constant tourism development, so it's important to investigate the inherent mechanism of the local culture protection; chapter 4 analyzes the connotation and evaluation standard of local culture protection, emphasizing on the importance to judge the achievement of culture protection from the point of local culture perception and agreement; chapter 5 theoretically analyzes the influence from tourism development to local culture protection, emphasizing that promoting the perception and agreement to local culture is the foundation to build the benign interaction between development and protection; chapter 6 is the field research about a typical tourism developing Huizhou ancient village, probes into the practical effect; conclusion and suggestion conclude the theoretical and practical researches and deepen them.It's believed that space has emotion, and the subject perception and agreement is the foundation of space emotion. Without the profound perception and highly agreement to the local culture, the attribution to local culture can hardly be established, and the culture protection is also difficult to gain achievements. As a result, if tourism development can promote the locals'culture perception and agreement, it may take an active part in local culture protection. Consequently, investigating locals and tourists' agreements to the culture protection there can effectively show the achievements of protection. During different period of tourism development, locals'changing agreements to culture protection show the effects of tourism development on couture protection to a certain extent. In the paper, on basic of theory researching, investigations were taken in three villages in Xidi, Chengkan and Xucun. The study shows, in those highly tourism developed villages, locals gain deeper insights of the value of Huizhou Culture, and become conscientious in culture protection gradually; on the contrary, in those backward developed village, locals lack deep understandings and agreement to the value of culture protection, so the local culture protection are faced with big challenge. However, the study also shows that now tourism development extremely concern with economic interests, and lack to foster the values of traditional culture, which have hampered the formation of the benign interaction between culture protection and tourism development. The existences of these contradictions not only threaten the culture protection and succession, but also affect the constant prosperity of tourism. In consequence, through effective measures to improve the agreement to local culture during tourism development will have a great value to elevate the tourism development standard. Some policy advices are put forward in the end of the thesis.
