Hydromorphological and socio-cultural assessment of urban rivers to promote nature-based solutions in Jarabacoa,Dominican Republic

In Latin America and the Caribbean, river restoration projects are increasing, but many lack strategic planning and monitoring. We tested the applicability of a rapid visual social–ecological stream assessment method for restoration planning, complemented by a citizen survey on perceptions and uses of blue and green infrastructure. We applied the method at three urban streams in Jarabacoa (Dominican Republic) to identify and prioritize preferred areas for nature-based solutions. The method provides spatially explicit information for strategic river restoration planning, and its efficiency makes it suitable for use in data-poor contexts. It identifies well-preserved, moderately altered, and critically impaired areas regarding their hydromorphological and socio-cultural conditions, as well as demands on green and blue infrastructure. The transferability of the method can be improved by defining reference states for assessing the hydromorphology of tropical rivers, refining socio-cultural parameters to better address river services and widespread urban challenges, and balancing trade-offs between ecological and social restoration goals.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13280-021-01565-3.

农家乐发展带来的环境问题及其对策

根据国内农家乐发展的类型和特征,对农家乐发展带来的水污染、垃圾污染、交通拥堵及噪声和农田污染等环境问题进行有针对性的分析,并提出各种污染的防治措施,大力发展沼气、太阳能等清洁能源,提倡绿色交通,发展生态养殖和种植。结合农家乐地区的发展需求,提出基于沼气利用和污水资源化处置的农家乐旅游循环经济发展模式,在有效处置污染的同时,实现各种资源的合理配置和循环利用,保障农家乐的健康发展。     

贵州省湄潭县生态旅游发展规划研究

湄潭县旅游资源丰富,本文介绍了湄潭旅游资源的现状,从缺乏旅游精品、资源整合不足、文化挖掘不深、旅游宣传不力、旅游设施滞后、旅游人才匮乏等方面分析了旅游产业存在的不足,提出了发展生态旅游的思路,从茶文化、乡村休闲度假和浙大西迁文化和湄江山水四方面设计了生态旅游产品;从低碳旅游设施建设规划和体验式生态旅游规划两方面规划了绿色服务产品,并提出从旅游者、从业者和政府三个层面构建管理型生态旅游;最后对湄潭生态旅游发展提出了展望。     

丽江市九子海村生态旅游运营保障对策研究

针对丽江市九子海生态旅游开发过程中可能出现的野生生物生存受到威胁、自然环境可能被破坏的情况,根据该地区的自然生境现状,结合未来生态旅游发展的预期,提出九子海生态旅游运营的保障措施,包括：九子海村主体功能区划分、旅游合作社运营与管理机制、运用生态补偿政策、每日最大旅游人数限制（≤200人）、提高本地村民环保意识、草句核心区放牧限制和核心区外围农田农作物种植引导等措施。     

重点旅游城市旅游生态足迹研究——以桂林市为例

旅游生态足迹分析可定量反映旅游业对自然生态环境产生的压力和影响程度,为旅游业可持续发展研究提供新的思路和研究方向。研究表明：2009年桂林市人均生态旅游足迹为367.823m2,旅游生态足迹结构中旅游交通高达268.461m2,占72.99%;6种生物生产性土地中所占比例最大的是化石能源地,为270.65m2,占73.58%。通过桂林市的旅游生态足迹和旅游承载力的对比,发现桂林市旅游业的生态需求大于供给,人均旅游生态赤字达84.326m2。为实现当地旅游业的可持续发展,应有效降低能源消耗,倡导节能出行方式,发展低碳旅游。     

中国旅游业空间集聚与集群化发展研究

旅游产业集聚与集群是联系密切而又有明显区别的一组概念,旅游产业集聚是集群形成的前提,但旅游产业集聚不一定形成集群,影响旅游产业空间集聚和集群发展的因素较多。选择行业集中度、基尼系数、赫芬代尔系数等指标,以相关数据为依据,探讨了中国旅游业的空间集聚问题,指出中国旅游业具有明显的空间集中分布与分散相结合的集聚特征。分析了中国旅游业集群发展现状与存在的问题并提出了相应对策,认为我国旅游业集群化发展是非常必要而且有可能的。     

峨眉山景区旅游商品的开发与营销模式

通过对旅游商品定义的综述,界定了旅游商品的定义、范围和功能,同时对峨眉山景区旅游商品的开发、需求、购买力等抽取420份问卷作为样本,分析了峨眉山旅游商品的需求现状,并以旅游者需求现状为依据,对峨眉山旅游商品的开发和营销提出了“4P＋4C＋4R”营销策略,以期对其它景区的旅游商品开发和营销具有一定的借鉴意义。     

旅游地的类生命特征研究

把旅游地视为一个特殊生命体和特殊的生态系统．旅游地与生物体存在非常类似的机理。具有旅游地生命周期、旅游地生态系统、旅游地之间存在诸如共生、竞争、寄生、捕食生态空间关系等明显的类生命特征。研究旅游地的类生命特征．为运用生态学理论研究旅游发展问题提供了可靠依据和切实可行性,为更好地解释和透视旅游发展问题实质提供了崭新的途径与思路,生态学理论在旅游中的应用和解决旅游问题具有现实的可能性和潜在的应用价值,在丰富旅游学与生态学理论的同时,指导并促进旅游业的可持续发展。     

Environmental perceptions of second home tourism impacts in Finland

Experiencing nature and enjoying natural amenities have long been identified as key motives for rural second home tourism. However, the more people travel and spend time in the natural environment, the more it is disturbed by their actions and activities. In this paper, we examine how people perceive the environmental impacts of rural second home tourism and how they justify their views. The study focuses on Finland where rural second homes are widespread. Analysis is based on a questionnaire survey conducted among Finns in 2012 (n?=?1189). Responses from different groups of respondents (second home owners, regular users of second homes and non-users) are quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. The results indicate that the Finnish respondents generally think that second home tourism poses some degree of harmful environmental impacts. However, it is the second home owners who are least worried about these environmental impacts. They generally justify their opinions using a “place-related” perspective, that is, by referring to their own experiences and actions at the cottage site. In contrast, the non-users see environmental impacts more often from a broader perspective by referring to the wider environmental interconnections with second home tourism. In our discussion, we introduce the notions of place-based (relative) and phenomenon-based (relational) environmental perceptions as a potential framework for future research on this topic. In mitigating the increasing environmental impacts of second home tourism, understanding the environmental perceptions and awareness of second home owners and users is crucial to be successful in mobilising sustainable options and environmental governance.
