Research On Theory Of Greenway Planning Applied In Ecotourism Planning And Practical Exploration

As the history of ecotourism planning is young in our country, planners usually used the ordinary theory and means of tourism planning in their ecotourism planning. These planning were plain and planners should do more research work in the theory and means of tourism planning. As the market of ecotourism is growing promptly, the building of ecotourism area is very rapid too, and there were some questions in the new building ecotourism area by guidance of ordinary tourism planning. The immoderate planning of tourism line is a serious question among them. It resulted in a series of questions, including that the width of tourism line was broader, the trace of manual work was evidence, too many automobiles in the tourism area brought much more destroy to ecological environment, the building of tourism line arose the new division, and the design of tourism line could not be integrated with the function division and so on.This research integrate the theory and means of greenway planning, it has been researched for about 500 years in North American and Europe, and has became the most popular planning way, into ecotourism planning. And it attempts to integrate the methods of greenway planning, including building ecological links between patches, paying more attention to the design of ecological landscape, paying more attention to reducing the manual disturbance, paying more attention to the community participation and the community benefit, into the ecotourism planning. Firstly, the research analyses the same and difficult characteristic between the greenway planning and the ecotourism planning. Secondly, the research combine the processes of greenway planning, including identification of goals and objectives, assessment of potential demand areas, assessment of potential connectivity supplies, assessment of site suitability, assessment of accessibility, Delineation of corridors, etc, to the ecotourism planning. This combination effectively integrates the protection of ecological environment, the election of tourism line, the function division of ecotourism area and the participation of local community to the design of tourism line.By integrating the theory and means of greenway planning into ecotourism and the case studying of Ecotourism Area of Huangsong, thisresearch preferably resolves some questions of design of tourism line in ecotourism planning. It improve greatly the function division of ecotourism area to be more scientific, the design of tourism line to be more ecological, the landscape of tourism line to be more aesthetic, the participation of local community to be more popular and the protection of heritage resource to be more ways.
