Evaluation of Ecosystem Services of Urban Forest Park From the Perspective of Visitor Perception——A Case Study of Tieshanping Forest Park
Forest parks are the main source of urban ecosystem services.Evaluating the ecosystem services of for-est parks holds paramount importance for effective park management.In the paper,the Tieshanping Forest Park was picked up as a case to evaluate the supply,demand and flow of forest ecosystem services.Ten key indicators,including the supply of forest products,climate regulation,atmospheric purification,carbon sequestration and ox-ygen release,water conservation,forest health care,aesthetic values,spiritual and religious aspects,scientific re-search and education,and biodiversity conservation,were selected for evaluation form the visitors'perspective.The results showed that:①Tieshanping Forest Park of ecosystem services score highest in the supply and demand of forest products,with normalization values of 0.86 and 0.96,respectively.② Regions with a high supply of o-verall ecosystem services are primarily concentrated in central attractions such as Aixin Manor,Songling Baoyue and Xiajiang Observation Deck.Areas with high demand,on the other hand,are mainly situated in peripheral at-tractions like Zhuhai Scenic Area,Tieshan Square and Songying Jiangyue.③ Hotspots for flow are concentrated in attractions such as Aixin Manor,Songling Baoyue and Xiajiang Observation Deck,while cold spots are identi-fied in places like Zhuhai Scenic Area,Meiyuan and Caixin Sports Stadium.In summary,quantifying ecosystem services proves instrumental in enhancing ecological management of forest parks,thereby advancing human well-being.
