The Evaluation And Analysis Of Tourism Environmental Comfort Degree And Its Influence Factors In West Lake Scenic Area

Based on the existing achievements of comfortable tourism climate, it has Hangzhou west lake scenic area as the studying units, with particular area as representative research unit. It mainly discusses the tourism environmental comfort degree of west lake scenic area in Hangzhou, and its time and space distribution characteristics.In this paper, by using an experiment method with sampling test, choosing six representative points around and in the west lake scenic area to discover:the variation characteristics of temperature, relative humidity, air quality and noise environment and their influence to tourism environmental comfort degree. Findings:temperature, relative humidity and noise are the main factors which influence tourism environmental comfort in west lake scenic area. Although there has certain effect that air quality contribute to tourism environmental comfort, good air quality in west lake scenic area has no significantly influence to tourism environmental comfort. Based on the data of temperature, relative humidity and noise, it choose index of temperature and relative humidity (THI) to judge the tourism environmental comfort of west lake scenic area and establishing a tourism environmental comfort exponential model.Using the results of the experiment on temperature and relative humidity, it calculated the THI of the west lake scenic area. On the basic of the former data, plus noise, it also can calculate the index of tourism environmental comfort, which determines the average comfortable level of west lake scenic area.According to the results of the analysis, we can find out:around the whole year, the mountainous area has the thermal comfortable tourism environment. There is nine months (March to November) which are suitable for travel. The tourism environmental comfort degree of the lake area is a little after the mountainous area.There is eight months (April to November) which are suitable for travel. The tourism environmental comfort degree of the city bank area is in the middle, higher than visitors gathering area and heavy traffic area. There is seven months (May to November) which are suitable for travel. The tourism environmental comfort degree of the visitors gathering area and heavy traffic area are not so good. Above all, the high tourism environmental comfort degree of the west lake scenic area chiefly lies in the mountainous area, the lake area and the city bank area. There is seven months (May to November) which are suitable for travel in the downtown area of Hangzhou. The tourism environmental comfort of the west lake scenic area lowest in winter; summer is better than winter; during spring and autumn comfort degree is higher and more suitable for travel. During the whole year, the tourism enviroment comfort degree of the west lake scenic area is obviously better than the urban city.Besides, the article also analyse the detail differences of tourism environmental comfort between the west lake scenic area and the urban city with space analysing method, and have the following findings:(1) The landform of the mountainous area mainly composed by low hills,which is very complex. Mountain forest can help to improve air negative ions content in scenic spot, and has remarkable effect to reduce the environmental temperature in summer, and keep in winter.(2) The west lake as water has the adjustment function to temperature, and also can increase the environment humidity, which has formed a characteristic environment micro climate.(3) There are buildings, hardening roadbed and less vegetation in the urban city, which lead to a local microclimate that less comfortable than the west lake scenic area.
