Construction and empirical test of the index system for assessing the tourism value of industrial heritage:A case study of Northeast China
Industrial heritage has become an increasingly attractive new tourism resource with its unique tourism value,and it is an important basis for scientific guidance of industrial heritage inheritance and utilization to build an index system for industrial heritage tourism value assessment.Based on the literature analysis,we propose a framework of components and index system for industrial heritage tourism value assessment,and we use 22 national industrial heritages in Northeast China as an example for measurement and verification.The results show that:(1)Industrial heritage tourism value assessment components include inherent value,market value,and environmental factors;inherent value is the intrinsic value of industrial heritage,market value is the external tourism development value,environmental factors are the constraints of tourism development,and the components interact with each other.(2)Industrial heritage tourism value assessment index system includes 3 criterion layers of inherent value,market value,and environmental factors and 14 specific indicators such as recreation value,location degree,and pollution degree.The industrial heritage tourism value is obtained through the expert evaluation method,entropy method,and comprehensive index method.(3)The 22 national industrial heritage tourism values in Northeast China are relatively consistent with the current situation and actual situation of the industrial heritage development.The index system follows the concept and connotation of industrial heritage as a tourism resource,and highlights its tourism value.It is significant to provide theoretical support for the formulation of national industrial heritage tourism value assessment standards and provide decision-making reference for the timing and grade arrangement of industrial heritage tourism development and utilization.
