旅游生态学的产生及其研究对象结构分析

The Birth of Tourism Ecology and the Structural Analysis of Research Subjects

人们认识到旅游发展带来一些生态安全问题之后,开始用生态学的观点去考虑旅游业的发展,旅游生态学于是产生了。对于旅游生态学的概念目前还没有统一的说法,主要是研究包括自然、社会、旅游经济系统的复合生态系统科学。旅游生态学的主要研究对象是旅游生态系统,旅游生态系统是一个社会—经济—自然复合生态系统。旅游生态系统的主要特征表现为:系统等级的层次性;区域结构的特殊性;层次结构的网络性;系统状态的脆弱性。在实践中,旅游生态学研究的主要内容是生态系统理论在旅游开发规划中和旅游管理中的应用探讨。

Realizing the ecological safety problems brought about by tourism development, we begin to consider the development from the ecological view, thus tourism ecology comes into being, but there is no unified definition about the concept of tourism ecology. Tourism ecology mainly studies the compound ecological system including na2 ture, society and tourism economic system. Its research subject is tourism ecosystem which is a compound ecological system of society, economy and nature. The main characteristics of tourism ecological system are the hierarchy of the system, the particularity of regional structure, the network character of hierarchical structure, and the fragility of the system. In practice, the main content of tourism ecology study is the application of tourism ecology theory in its development and management.
