Study On The Method Of Landscape Design Of Entrance Space Of Natural Tourism Area

With the continuous development of society,the quality of people's life has been improved obviously which drives the development of the tourism industry.As a result,various types of tourism areas appear with a gradually increasing number.In order to pursue luxury,some tourism zones mechanically apply the design from other places which has ignored its natural characteristics,thus influencing the comprehensive development of these tourism zones.Besides,few researches focused on the landscape design of natural tourism zones' entrance space,also lacking for systematicness.Currently,it has become research project which can not be ignored.This paper conducts researches on the methods of landscape design of natural tourism zones' entrance space.At first,through consulting numerous theories and practical researches from literatures both at home and aboard,this paper makes definitions of natural tourism zones and natural tourism zones' entrance space.Secondly,through selecting four tourism zones around Xi'an,Xiangyu Forest Park,Taiping Forest Park,Zhuque Forest Park and Louguantai Forest Park,empirical investigations were made on their entrance space.Besides,comparative analysis was made from aspects of current situation of their use,spatial structure,the diversity of enclosed forms and formal elements as well as their functions.The results showed their existing problems as well as the co-existed problems,which also summarized the con-existed problems ofsuch as the lack of layering for space,the unsuitable size and the ignorance of the influence of environment.In addition,through applying designing concepts such as respecting nature,highlighting regional culture connotations and the co-development of landscape structure and spatial structure as well as based on the principles of integrality,sustainability,suitability and characteristic,this paper proposed the designing methods of natural tourism zones' entrance space.Besides,it also concluded the characteristics of the designing of natural tourism zones' entrance space such as types of mountain,forest,coast and cave.Finally,through integrating theories and practice,with Taibaishan Forest Park as an example,specific designing plans are proposed based on the methods of empirical survey and questionnaires.Besides,the above designing concepts,designing principles and designing methods are employed in case design.It can provide new ideas for the designing methods for the landscape design of entrance space in the similar types.
