What are the main purposes of ecological scenic spot planning?

What are the main purposes of ecological scenic spot planning? Scenic spot planning experts from the Beijing Greenway Scenic Planning and Design Institute pointed out that the main purposes of ecological scenic spot planning include the following points:

1. Protect the ecological safety of the scenic spot

Ecological planning is based on Guided by the principles of ecology, we apply multidisciplinary methods such as systems science and environmental science to identify, simulate and design various ecological relationships within the ecosystem, determine the ecological suitability of resource development, utilization and protection, and explore ecological countermeasures to improve system structure and function. A planning method that promotes the coordination and sustainable development of human and environmental systems.

The starting point and ultimate goal of the ecological planning of scenic spots is to promote and maintain the sustainable development of the ecological environment of tourist scenic spots. It is mainly reflected in protecting human health and providing a good environment for human living; rationally utilizing land resources, water resources, mineral resources, etc. in the scenic area to improve their economic value; protecting the diversity and integrity of the natural ecosystem.

2. Form an ecological tourism environment and create tourist attractions

Ecological environment and landscape are important tourism resources for tourist attractions. A good ecological environment and pleasing landscape make people return to nature. feelings. Even the cultural landscape is the result of human beings' adaptation to the natural landscape. Jiangnan ancient town has water as its soul, and Langzhong ancient city has become a geomantic treasure due to its mountains and rivers. Based on a good ecological environment, tourist attractions will be attractive. Once the ecological environment is damaged, the landscape quality of the scenic spot will inevitably be affected, and the tourist attraction will also be reduced. The Yandang Mountain Scenic Area in Zhejiang is famous for its stream views. However, due to excessive extraction of groundwater, most streams have dried up, and the beautiful landscape of gurgling streams no longer exists. Tourism attractiveness has weakened, affecting tourism activities.

3. Avoid blind construction and reduce scenic area operating costs

Some places build a large number of hotels or increase beds in core scenic spots and near-core scenic spots, and other places allow them to occupy the scenery and build houses. This kind of behavior destroys the ecological environment of the scenic spot, and when it is realized, the building will have to be demolished, causing unnecessary waste. For example, the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area in Shanxi Province, a famous Buddhist holy land in my country, has been plagued by disorderly construction and numerous shops over the years. The most original and precious things that the scenic area should have have gradually been lost, and it has become a stumbling block on the road to inscription as a World Heritage Site. In order to apply for World Heritage status, Mount Wutai spent 500 million to clean up illegal buildings.

The ecological planning of tourist attractions will conduct scientific layout of tourism activities through ecological suitability analysis to avoid blind construction in ecologically sensitive areas. For example, the method of "segregation between agglomerations" in ecology can be used to form a better ecological pattern of scenic spots, that is, land is classified and agglomerated, and small natural patches are retained in development areas and built-up areas, while some are distributed along the main natural boundaries. An “enclave” of human activities.

The ecological crisis is one of the "global problems" faced by modern mankind. It is essentially a crisis in the relationship between modern mankind and nature. As the main place for humans to get close to nature, tourist attractions are gradually falling into the dilemma of development and protection. Tourist attractions are human natural and cultural heritage and have important ecological, cultural and economic value. The development and utilization of tourist attractions have huge socio-economic benefits. However, inappropriate development and construction and excessive interference from human activities often bring about a series of ecological and environmental problems: land degradation and desertification, forest destruction, soil erosion, environmental pollution, water resource shortages, etc. These problems threaten the ecological security of scenic spots and restrict the sustainable development of tourist attractions. Therefore, Green Vision believes that ecological planning of tourist areas with the help of ecological principles should become an important part of tourist area planning.
