What is the environmental capacity of scenic spots?

The environmental capacity of a scenic spot refers to the amount of tourists allowed to accommodate tourists within a certain time and space while ensuring that the quality of the scenic spot resources does not decline and the ecological environment does not degrade to meet tourists' needs for comfort, safety, hygiene, convenience, etc. Maximum carrying capacity. The purpose of studying environmental capacity is to seek and elucidate the appropriate quantitative relationship between the number of tourists and the scale of the environment. Reasonable environmental capacity is an important basis for scientific management of tourist attractions, organizing sightseeing tours and determining the development scale of scenic spots.

Calculation of tourism environmental capacity:

1. Calculation principles

(1) Principle of sustainable development. The calculation of the environmental capacity of tourist areas must not only ensure that the tourist resources in the scenic area are protected from "overload" man-made damage, maintain the beautiful natural landscape characteristics and a good tourist environment, but also particularly protect the water resources and various plant resources in the scenic area. . It is not only necessary to obtain the best economic benefits at present, but also to ensure that good tourism resources can be continuously and effectively used by future generations in the long term.

(2) Comfort principle. It is necessary to consider meeting tourists' interest, comfort level and demand expectations in order to achieve the best results for tours, vacations, leisure and recuperation.

(3) Safety and health principles. We must consider ensuring the personal safety of tourists and providing them with a safe, hygienic and convenient tourism environment.

2. Calculation methods

There are generally three methods for measuring environmental capacity: area method, line method, and bayonet method. In view of the fact that the tourist area is a diversified vacation and leisure area that combines mountains, water, and forests, combined with the setting of scenic spots and the arrangement of tour methods, the environmental capacity of the tourist area is mainly determined by using the line method and the area method; for accommodation facilities, catering The environmental capacity of the facility is measured using the bayonet capacity method:

The specific calculation formulas are:

(1) Area capacity method: C=A×D/a

< p>In the formula: C---daily environmental capacity, unit: person-time;

a---reasonable visiting area that each tourist should occupy, unit: square meter/person;

< p>A---Tourable area, unit: square meter/person;

D---Turnover rate (D = 8 hours of tourist attraction opening time/time required to visit the tourist attraction).

(2) Complete swimming path method: C=M×D/m

In the formula: M---the total length of the swimming path, unit: meter;

m- --Each tourist occupies a reasonable length of the tour, unit: meters/person;

D---Turnover rate (D = 8 hours of attraction opening time/time required to complete the attraction).

(3) Incomplete swim channel method: C=M×D/(m+m×E/F)

In the formula: M---the total length of the swim channel, unit: meter;

F---The time required to complete the tour;

E---The time required to return along the tour;

D---Turnover Rate (D = 8 hours of attraction opening hours / time required to complete the attraction).

(4) Bayonet method: C=B×QB=tl/t3tl=H-t2

In the formula: B---number of daily tourists;

Q---Number of tourists in each batch;

tl---Tour time per day, unit: minutes;

t2---Time required to complete the tour, unit : Minutes;

t3---The time between two groups of tourists, unit: minutes;

H---Opening hours every day, here is 480 minutes;
