摘要
最小影响解说法被广泛用来减少旅游者对保护区的生态影响。经过最小环境影响行为培训的导游采用口头呼吁和/或者角色示范等方式能否减少噪音、垃圾及对亚热带雨林区的林间小路的践踏?我们对此进行了检验。结果表明,解说的方法确实很明显地减少了对环境的影响,不同的解说技巧对不同类型的影响会产生不同的效果。实验人员由成年的、受过良好教育的专业人员组成;解说所产生的效果因旅游者的不同而有差异。训练有素的导游人员的解说确实能减少旅游者对保护区环境的影响,特别是采用角色示范结合口头宣传的方式产生的效果更佳。
Minimal-impact interpretation is widely used to reduce the ecological impacts of visitors to protected areas.We tested whether verbal appeals and/or rolemodel demonstrations of minimal-impact behavior by a trained guide reduced noise,litter,and trampling impacts on hiking trails in a subtropical rainforest Interpretation did reduce impacts significantly.Different interpretive techniques were more effective for different impacts.The experimental groups were mature,well-educated professionals;interpretation may differ in effectiveness for different visitors.Interpretation by skilled guides can indeed reduce visitor impacts in protected areas,especially if role modeling is combined with verbal appeals.
