As the disposable income of residents increases,people begin to pursue high-quality life,promote the development of tourism,and promote the prosperity of the scenic economy.In the process of scenic landscape planning,there are phenomena that ignore the protection of environmental resources in order to cater to the market and over-exploit.In order to reduce this phenomenon,some scholars have proposed ecotourism theory.Eco-tourism,with the psychological basis of seeking new ideas,seeking knowledge and seeking pleasure,is of great significance for the sustainable development of scenic spots with the purpose of appreciating,studying and not destroying nature and resources.In recent years,more and more attention has been paid to ecotourism in China.Therefore,ecotourism landscape planning has been attempted to be analyzed using edge-effect theory in the hope of contributing to research.Starting from the edge effect theory and combining domestic and foreign research,we conclude the characteristics of the edge effect theory.Through the analysis of the edge effect of landscape and the application of edge effect theory in the planning of scenic spots,we hopes to use the theory of edge effects to find a more appropriate balance between human activities and the natural environment.Combining with eco-tourism theory,through planning,people and nature will live in harmony and achieve a win-win situation.Through the literature research method,this paper analyzes the change of the environmental quality after the implementation of ecotourism in the scenic spot from the edge effect.It was found that ecotourism makes the natural factors in the landscape space more active,and the impact caused by human activities is controlled within a certain range.We compared the differences between traditional tourism and ecotourism.The study found the ecotourism market competitiveness is slightly inferior,but the ecological value has greatly increased.Ecotourism attracts and nurtures new visitor groups-Ecotourists.As the country attaches importance to the construction of ecological civilization,the ecological concept will become more and more popular among people.And ecotourism will certainly be favored by more people.The SWOT analysis method is used to demonstrate the feasibility and significance of ecotourism in Taoyuandong.It proves that Taoyuandong’s basic conditions(natural environment,scenic resources,landscape development,etc.)can better suit the ecotourism development model.This paper proposes some landscape planning suggestions from a more macroscopic level in view of the current situation of landscape combined with the theory of ecotourism and edge effects.Next,we will analyze the scenic landscape planning from the perspective of tourists and we use two analysis methods to analyze the key elements that should be paid attention to in the landscape and landscape effects that should be noted in landscape planning.1.The study uses the Importance Perfor-mance Analysis(IPA)method to obtain a comparison chart of satisfaction and importance among major landscapes.The analysis shows that the scenic landscapes(Yixiantian,Taoyuandong’s hole,Peach Blossoms,Emerald Valley,Ancient gates)is the best landscape effect and the most important landscape.In the landscape planning,it is necessary to continue to maintain the existing good landscape effect.The Ancient burial site and the Fengguan Pavilion are two landscapes that are in need of renewal in the scenic area.In landscape planning,the uncoordinated factors in the landscape are dealt with.And we strive to make use of the edge effect feature to enhance the landscape effect.2.The study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)to analyze the various layers of landscape effects.The composition of the evaluation system includes 3 criteria layer factors which are aesthetic value,social and cultural value,and ecological value,7 indicator layer factors which are sensory perception,landscape uniqueness,richness of landscape change,conservation continuity,regional characteristics,biodiversity,and ecological environment quality,and 15 sub-index layer factors including color,spatial openness,tour comfort,etc.The weight of each factor is determined through expert consultation methods.We combined the questionnaire to calculate the comprehensive score and evaluation level of each level of factors.Based on the summary data,air quality,uniqueness of landscape,and landscape harmony are the best landscape effect factors in Taoyuandong.We use these advantages in publicity to highlight the scenic features and get more attention from tourists.The richness of landscape change(climate change,diurnal change,and seasonal change),plant uniqueness,and water quality are the poor scorers in Taoyuandong.But at the same time,these factors are also the most effective ways to improve the landscape effect.The use of joint surrounding scenic spots to create a tourism community and optimize plant collocation are the ways to plan the landscape.On the basis of this,combined with the theory of edge effects,we try to be able to put forward planning suggestions for improving landscape effects,and we can also better avoid the risk of ecological environmental damage.3.we analyze the plant ecology within the scenic area.During the development of Taoyuandong from provincial park of China to national key park of China,this has caused considerable disruption to the natural environment.At the same time,due to the characteristics of the Danxia landform of Taoyuandong,the material energy flow between species is slow,and the ability of the ecosystem to repair itself is weakened.The use of ecotourism development in scenic areas could better protect the landscape ecosystem.Due to the constraints of limited research period,lack of personnel,and lack of funds,we have only used the edge effect theory to study some of the landscape planning.Combined with the concept of ecotourism,this paper proves the feasibility of the application of the edge effect theory in landscape planning and formulates a preliminary research framework.The next stage of research hopes to cooperate with experts and students in ecology and plants.From the micro-level of biological change,the theory of edge effect was analyzed.Using the edge effect strength model,it was proved that the addition of factors could induce the change of positive effect of the landscape edge space.We record these combination patterns and promote them.However,this research needs to go through a long and complicated research process,which cannot be achieved in this article.Only a more idealized model can be constructed to provide a direction for future research. |
