基于旅游生态足迹模型的西安市旅游可持续发展评估

基于生态足迹模型、结合旅游者的生态消费及结构特征,将旅游生态足迹引入区域旅游可持续发展评估,阐述了旅游生态足迹的概念,并构建了旅游交通、住宿、餐饮、购物、游览等旅游生态足迹计算子模型。以西安市作为实证研究对象,计算分析了2004年西安市游客的旅游生态足迹。研究结果表明:2004年西安市游客的人均旅游生态足迹为0.1194hm2,人均旅游生态承载力为0.0198hm2,人均旅游生态赤字达0.0996hm2,反映出西安市的旅游业处于"不可持续发展状态",因此必须采取有效措施,合理利用生态资源,才能保证旅游业持续发展。

The quantitative study on the tourism sustainable development based on the model of tourism ecological footprint

Based on the model of ecological footprint,combined with the ecological consumption and its structure character of tourists,this paper applied the tourism ecological footprint model into the assessment of the sustainable development of regional tourism.Then the paper analyzed the concept of ecological footprint and founded the calculating submodels of tourism ecological footprint including the model of transportation,shopping,food and beverage,accommodation and sightseeing.Taking Xi'an city as an example,we calculated and analyzed its tourism ecological footprint in 2004.The result reveals that the tourism ecological footprint of Xi'an city is 0.1194hm2 per capita in 2004,the tourism ecological carrying capacity per capita is 0.0198hm2,and the tourism ecological deficit per capita achieves 0.0996hm2,which proves that the tourism of Xi'an city is in "the state of unsustainable development".To ensure sustainable development of tourism,effective measures must be taken to rationalize the use of ecological resources.
