The Quantitative Evaluation of Ecotourism Resources of Nature Reserve Based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Method——Taking the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve in Tibet as A Case
The study aims to scientifically regulate the ecotourism resources development and ensure the sustained,healthy and rapid development of the forest ecotourism of the nature reserve.With the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve as the study subject,3 evaluation indices,including the ecotourism resource quality,environmental conditions and development conditions,were chosen as the 1st level indices; 6 evaluation indices,including the natural landscape resources,cultural landscape resources,environmental capacity,environmental quality,geographical features and regional conditions,were chosen as the 2nd level indices and 22 evaluation indices were chosen as the 3rd level indices.Thus a model of hierarchy structure of the ecotourism resource evaluation was established and used to carry out a quantitative evaluation on the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve.The evaluation results showed that in the 2nd level indices,the score of the natural landscape resources was the highest,followed by the score of the cultural landscape resources,the evaluation score of the environmental quality came as the third and the score of the district characteristics and regional conditions was relatively low.This indicated that natural landscape resources and cultural landscape resources constituted the basic framework for the ecotourism resources of the nature reserve.In the 1st level indices,the score of the resource quality was the highest,followed by the score of environmental conditions,the evaluation score of the environmental quality came as the third and the score of the development conditions was relatively low.Therefore,the conclusion indicated that the quantitative evaluation score of tourism resources of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve was 90.6 and can be rated as the first class,suggesting that the ecotourism resources of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon National Nature Reserve were very good and had high development and utilization value.
