旅游生态学研究进展

作为生态学和旅游学相交叉的一门新兴分支学科,旅游生态学关注旅游发展中的生态环境问题,以生态学原理指导旅游生态系统管理,是促进旅游业可持续发展的重要理论支撑。论文采用引文可视化分析软件CiteSpace5.3和文献阅读相结合的方法分析旅游生态学研究的国际进展。分析发现,文献数量在进入21世纪后快速增长,文献来源地集中在北美和欧洲国家,研究方法呈现多学科综合性和最新科学技术成果应用及时等特点,研究内容主要集中在旅游活动的生态环境影响、旅游生态系统管理和旅游可持续发展的测度及实现途径3个方面。基于国际进展的分析,论文最后提出我国旅游生态学研究应在学科的基础理论、旅游影响的系统性和持续性、旅游生态修复、旅游开发活动的生态环境影响、生态环境变化对旅游业发展的影响和本土性旅游生态系统管理方法等方面加强。

Progress of international research on tourism ecology and its implications

As a new branch of which combines ecology and tourism, tourism ecology pays close attention to the ecological environment problems caused by tourism, guides tourism ecosystem management by the ecological principles, and provides a theoretical support for the sustainable development of tourism. Combining quantitative analysis by the software CiteSpace5.3 with literature reading, it is found that the number of publications on tourism ecology in web of science has increased rapidly after entering the 21st century. The papers came mainly from the North America and Europe and applied research methodologies of different disciplines and up-to-date scientific and technological achievements. The research content consisted of three parts: the eco-environmental impact of tourism, tourism ecosystem management, and measure and realization of tourism sustainable development. Based on the analysis of international progress, we put forward that the research of tourism ecology in China should be strengthened in the aspects of basic theory, the evolution law of tourism impact, tourism ecological restoration, environment impact of tourism development, impact of ecological environment change on tourism, and local tourism ecosystem management methods.
