Research On Rural Ecotourism Planning Underlying With Reconstruction After Quake In Sichuan

With the fast development of the urban-rural integration process and the increase of income, ecotourism has become more and more preferrable by people. It has not been only a way to relax, experience in rural areas and the fun of nature, but also an efficient approach to create a new agricultural economic growth point to promote the adjustment and optimization of the agricultural industrial structure, poverty alleviation, aimed at increasing farmer's income and to promote the prosperity of agricultural economy as well as the integration of culture. However, the traditional ecotourism has encountered many problems in its way of development, such as the increase of tourists, which had caused pollution and damage to rural environment, and the blindness development, which had caused the damage to the natural resource and interference of the residents' normal life. Based on this background, rural ecotourism, a new type of tourism with emphasis on sustainable development has taken its place.At the beginning of 80th in 20th century, ecotourism has been proposed in Chengdu called "cradle of Chinese ecotourism". Since then, ecotourism develop rapidly in many places in Sichuan which has made great contributions to promoting adjustment to agricultural industrial structure, success in achieving social transformation and construction of new socialistic country. Unfortunately, the Wenchuan earthquake happened in may 12,2008 has overwhelmed Sichuan's travel industry. Rural ecotourism, one of the four pillar travel industry, has also suffered from badly damage by the earthquake. Eco-tourist destination along the earthquake fault zone of Longmen Mountain has been wholly destroyed. Therefore, state council has promulgated a series of policies.《the overall planning of reconstruction after the Wenchuan earthquake》was pointed out that:"To revitalize travel industry, enforce the reconstruction of key scenic spot and tourist routes, rebuilting the key scenic areas as well as towns and cities which featured with national characteristics was proposed to revitalize ecotourism that mainly formed in farm tourism."Based on the background above, this article refer to the research achievements made by experts in abroad, GIS, AutoCAD and inductive-deductive methods were implied to analyze the overall planning of ecotourism in Sichuan after the earthquake. As the planning of ecotourism in penghua village in Mianzhu as an example, a guideline of planning for the reconstruction of rural areas and methods of developing economy and improving qualities of people's lives after the earthquake were studied.There are 6 parts in the paper. The introduction discussed the importance of developing ecotourism after the earthquake and pointed out the contents and methods included in this article. The part of summery explained the concept and category of rural tourist, ecotourism and rural ecotourism in detail, concluded the character and contents of ecotourism and systematically evaluate the research progress made by home and abroad.The third part of the article reviewed the developing process of rural ecotourism in Sichuan, and concluded constituents and features of rural ecotourism and discussed the prospective way of development for Sichuan's rural ecotourism.The forth part is the methodology of planning the rural ecotourism. Based on the main theoretical and mechanism, the upcoming problems in the development of rural ecotourism after the earthquake was analyzed to discuss the frame structure of planning and tentatively carried out a frame structure of planning for rural ecotourism.In a typical representative of the severe damaged area, Penghua village got its unique natural resources and great potential for rural ecotourism which makes it a perfect example to research on. So, the fifth part takes the planning of rural ecotourism in Penghua village as an example, by several scene investigation, material collecting, use scientific analyze and evaluate methods, planning research on the aspect of rural ecological environment conservation, rural scenic planning, tour routes planning, ecotourism equipments planning, tourism products planning and ways to success in realizing ecotourism, were done to construct a frame work for Sichuan's rural ecotourism, seek a way to solve people's product, live and develop problems under the premise of conserving the ecological environment, and balance the development of ecologic, economy and society.The conclusion summarized the achievements and shortage of theory and empirical study in researching by providing some references for Sichuan's rural ecotourism planning after earthquake.
