Research on Psychological Carrying Capacity of Tourism Destination

As a part of the carrying capacity system of tourism destination, tourism psychological carrying capacity and its makeup are very important indexes which reflect the harmonious development of tourism destination develops harmoniously, but the academy has not paid enough attention to them. Based on the concept and connotation of psychological carrying capacity, this paper explains the influencing factors which affect the psychological capacity of the tourist and the resident after the acknowledged concept, and then designs a harmonious development model of tourism destination. Finally, it offers some countermeasures against the overloading psychological capacity.     

“The End of the Ice Age?”: Disappearing World Heritage and the Climate Change Communication Imperative

Rapid environmental change in vulnerable destinations has stimulated a new form of travel termed “last chance tourism” (LCT). Studies have examined the risks of LCT, while leaving potential opportunities within this new tourism market largely underexplored. Results of survey (n?=?399) research in Jasper National Park, Canada reveal that a LCT motivation influences decisions to visit this iconic Canadian destination, and suggest that this motivation is linked to a desire to learn about the impacts of climate change on the Athabasca Glacier. Findings suggest there may be short to medium term opportunities associated with LCT, including promoting climate change ambassadorship through management interventions. This paper discusses a range of possible education, interpretive, and outreach activities that might be employed at LCT destinations. It outlines the relative merits (or what we refer to as “uneasy benefits”) of promoting the glacier and other LCT destinations within a protected areas management and climate change adaptation context.     

网络视域下突发事件对旅游目的地形象的影响过程研究

突发事件直接影响旅游目的地形象,关系到目的地的可持续发展。基于网络视域,从旅游者感知角度,建立突发事件影响目的地形象的过程模型。根据突发事件网络传播的效应——信息爆炸效应和舆论聚合效应,将模型分解为对目的地形象的强化过程和反馈过程。突发事件的网络传播会加速目的地形象感知的过程并深化目的地形象感知的内容,从而强化对目的地形象的感知,反馈过程导致目的地形象的调整。分析表明,网络视域下突发事件对目的地形象的影响更加显著。最后总结网络信息时代目的地遭遇突发事件时维护自身形象的策略。     

凤凰城旅游景区转让后的效应评价

在我国经济市场化改革的大背景下，转让景区经营权、实行企业化运作成为一些风景名胜区经营管理改革过程中的一种制度创新模式。地处西部大开发战略图中的湘西凤凰县由于在旅游开发中受到了资金缺口和管理瓶颈的双重制约，于2001年底将其辖域内的八大景区（点）的50年经营权转让给了湖南黄龙洞投资股份有限公司。景区经营权转让是一个十分复杂而敏感的话题。本文避开关于景区经营权转让的各种是非争论，基于对旅游地社区各利益主体以及旅游者的实地调查和访谈记录分析，对凤凰景区企业化运作三年来的绩效与影响作了较为客观的评估，并就如何完善景区企业化运作模式、规避经营管理风险和负面影响等提出了相关理论思考和政策建议。     

目的地旅游系统隐性结构的分析

目的地系统是旅游系统中的一个重要子系统,组成这一系统的结构和要素有显性和隐性之分.从目的地旅游系统隐性结构要素的存在形式、功能表现等进行分析,旨在引起人们对隐性要素的关注,并进行有效的保护和合理的利用,实现旅游目的地的可持续发展.     

旅游地形象的认知与构建

文章从心理和消费行为学角度分析了旅游地形象的概念及其形成机制,指出旅游地形象也是重要的旅游资源。并以此为依据,结合较为成熟的企业形象系统理论,探索了旅游地形象系统的构建思路、旅游地形象建立的方法和步骤。关于旅游地形象的研究会加深对旅游资源的再认识,同时也对丰富和完善旅游规划工作有一定的建设性指导意义。     

Effects of Weighting Schemes on the Identification of Wildlife Corridors Generated with Least‐Cost Methods

The importance of movement corridors for maintaining connectivity within metapopulations of wild animals is a cornerstone of conservation. One common approach for determining corridor locations is least‐cost corridor (LCC) modeling, which uses algorithms within a geographic information system to search for routes with the lowest cumulative resistance between target locations on a landscape. However, the presentation of multiple LCCs that connect multiple locations generally assumes all corridors contribute equally to connectivity, regardless of the likelihood that animals will use them. Thus, LCCs may overemphasize seldom‐used longer routes and underemphasize more frequently used shorter routes. We hypothesize that, depending on conservation objectives and available biological information, weighting individual corridors on the basis of species‐specific movement, dispersal, or gene flow data may better identify effective corridors. We tested whether locations of key connectivity areas, defined as the highest 75th and 90th percentile cumulative weighted value of approximately 155,000 corridors, shift under different weighting scenarios. In addition, we quantified the amount and location of private land that intersect key connectivity areas under each weighting scheme. Some areas that appeared well connected when analyzed with unweighted corridors exhibited much less connectivity compared with weighting schemes that discount corridors with large effective distances. Furthermore, the amount and location of key connectivity areas that intersected private land varied among weighting schemes. We believe biological assumptions and conservation objectives should be explicitly incorporated to weight corridors when assessing landscape connectivity. These results are highly relevant to conservation planning because on the basis of recent interest by government agencies and nongovernmental organizations in maintaining and enhancing wildlife corridors, connectivity will likely be an important criterion for prioritization of land purchases and swaps.

论长江流域山岳旅游地发展对神农架开发的启示

长江流域山岳旅游地数量很多,近年来在旅游开发与管理方面积累的成功经验具有普遍性。政府主导、高度重视山岳旅游价值、避免粗放式过度开发、适度提升旅游形象、切实保护生态环境、多元融资、内外联动发展大旅游、与国际接轨提高管理水平等措施值得借鉴。神农架作为长江流域典型的山岳旅游地,由此可以得到重要启示。神农架的战略出路在于：顺应产业升级转型趋势,全面确立旅游兴区战略,构建区域经济新极核,实施RMP系统整合,明晰旅游形象和加强区域合作。     

旅游地旅游者忠诚度机制模型及实证研究——以黄山风景区为例

旅游地忠诚的旅游者是其发展的重要资源,旅游者忠诚度机制研究有利于更全面地认识旅游者忠诚现象,帮助旅游地管理者制定有效的旅游者忠诚培育的战略。在文献回顾的基础上,尝试从交易过程、关系过程相结合的视角分析影响旅游地忠诚的要素,并尝试构建旅游地旅游者忠诚度机制的理论模型。通过问卷调查获得旅游者感知价值、满意度、信任和忠诚度数据,采用结构方程模型方法,以黄山风景区为案例地进行实证分析,检验模型拟合度及各变量对旅游者忠诚度的影响。结果显示,在影响旅游者忠诚度的各因素中,满意度对旅游者忠诚度的影响最大,路径系数是0.41;信任是影响旅游者忠诚度的另一重要因素,路径系数是0.21。
