Assessing Social Values of Ecosystem Services and Exploring the Influencing Factors for Urban Green Spaces from the Perspective of Tourist Perceptions
The social values of ecosystem services of urban green space are the most easily perceived and used by humans.Quantitatively assessing the social values and exploring the influencing factors can provide a scientific basis for the optimization of urban green space.Existing research rarely takes into account the impact of service facilities on tourists'perceptions of the social value of urban green space.Therefore,taking Wuhan East Lake Scenic Area as an example,social values are categorized into six types depending on the characteristics,and the SolVES model is employed to spatially quantify visitors'social value perception data.Then,the influencing mechanism of natural resource and service facility points of interest density on social value indexes and their spatial distributions are investigated.The results show that tourists'preference for social value of East Lake Scenic Area is as follows:cultural value＞entertainment value＞aesthetic value＞biodiversity value＞recreational value＞sustainable value.Hot spots of social value are concentrated in Ting Tao Scenic Area and Mo Mountain Scenic Area,with the majority of them located between 20-40m elevation,2°-6° slope,and 100m distance from water body.Facilities and vegetation covering at tourist attractions are the two characteristics that have the greatest influence on various social values and are positively connected with them.
