With the fast development of tourism, the tourism activities have caused irreversible damage on the ecological environment inside the traveling zone. People begin to pay more and more attention on the environment protection. Many people do a lot of research on the effect between traveling activities and ecological environment. The periodically monitoring on the traveling environment is the basis of understanding the relationship between the traveling activities and ecological environment. Now there is only a little long-term monitoring on the traveling environment. According to some research, the water, air and the soil in the traveling zone were affected heavily by the traveling activities. Therefore in this paper, we did a periodically monitoring on the quality of water, air and soil inside the Yuantouzhu beauty spot, taking the impact on the water, air and soil for the main frame to analyze the effect between traveling activities and ecological environment.We did a periodically research on the quality of surface water, air and soil in Yuantouzhu beauty spot from March 2009 to Feb 2010, The specific contents of experiment, arrangement and conclusions are as follows:(1)We select 8 representative points for monitoring the quality of water and monitor the temperature, TN, TP, COD, Chla, DO, pH, NH3-N of the water. We did the research on the 8 items for one year. We obtained not only the data and the content of the 8 items, but also through the gray clustering method, we analyzed the quality of water and evaluated it comprehensively. The results showed that:each monitoring site has some seasonal changes in water quality characteristics. The water quality of these monitoring points were affected by water plant and disturbance of tourism, while the experimental data also shows that the water quality of which the monitoring sites inside Tai Lake were more worse than those sites which lie independently from Tai Lake. The water quality inside the beauty spot was affected heavier than the other monitoring sites. According to the principle of majority, the classified analysis showed the result of water quality level:the lotus pond sites and the pool beside the cherry blossom belong to the Classâ… , the quality of water from other sites are belong to Classâ…¤. General speaking, the water quality inside the Yuantouzhu beauty spot is very poor.(2) We select 6 representative sites for monitoring the quality of air and monitored air pollutants (SO2, NO2, TSP, PM10) from these 6 sites for one year. We obtained the level of atmospHeric pollution, analyzing the effect between traveling activities and the air qualitu inside the Yuantouzhu beauty spot. We evaluated the air pollution level of the 6 sites by using Shanghai Air Quality Index Method. The results showed that:The air quality of 6 sites are all above level 2, tourism activities such as automobile exhaust and burning of incense impacted heavier on the air quality of Yuantouzhu. But compared to the air quality outside the tourist area, the air quality inside the tourist area was much better. After calculating Shanghai Air Quality Index, the results showed that the air pollution level of the sites which lie inside the scenic area was just belong to light pollution. The air quality of golden beaches was clean and the air quality of the road lead to the entrance was moderate pollution. (3) In order to study the impact which tourism activities especially trampling caused on the soil, we select 7 representative monitoring sites in the background zones, buffer zones and activity areas inside Yuantouzhu scenic areas, testing water content inside the soil, density, organic matter content, total N, fast-effect P and pH values experimentally. By comparing we drew the following conclusions:the stepping on the soil increased the hardness and the bulk density of the soil but the ratio of water within soil reduced, and the fertility of soil also reduced with the decline of organic matter. All of which affect the ecological environment of tourist area heavily. We didn't get the relationship between quick-acting pHospHorus and trampling activities, so which role dose quick-acting pHospHorus act in the soil is still to be studied necessarily.Generally speaking, the ecological environment quality of Yuantouzhu beauty spot based on water, air, soil was affected by not only some natural factors (seasonality, vegetation, wind direction),but also some human impact. Although the establishment of tourism is to protect tourism environment positively, the tourism activities'reaction on the environment can't be eliminated. Concern on the protection of the ecological environment is the necessary prerequisite for the development of tourism, and it is also the key to a sustainable tourism.
