农业文化遗产的旅游资源特征研究

Study on the Tourism Resource Characteristics of Agricultural Heritage

农业文化遗产是一种新的遗产类型,其概念源自联合国粮农组织2002年启动的"全球重要农业文化遗产"项目。目前,关于农业文化遗产的研究还处于初级阶段,因此,其概念存在一定争议,暂时将其称之为农业文化遗产。本文研究了农业文化遗产作为一种旅游资源的特征。研究发现,农业文化遗产旅游属于一种遗产旅游,从本质上区别于乡村旅游、农业旅游等旅游形式。作为一种旅游资源,农业文化遗产具有特色明显、分布范围广、脆弱性和敏感性高、可参与性强和复合性强的特征,这些特征是农业文化遗产目的地旅游资源开发和管理需要考虑的重要因素。

Agricultural heritage is a new type of heritage.Its concept originates from a program known as＂Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System＂（GIAHS） initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations（FAO） in 2002.Currently,study on agricultural heritage is still at its initial stage.Therefore,some controversies exist in terms of the concept.We might as well call it agricultural heritage for the time being.The paper tries to study agricultural heritage as a kind of tourism resource.It is found that agricultural heritage tourism belongs to heritage tourism,which makes it different from rural tourism and agricultural tourism in essence.As a kind of tourism resource,agricultural heritage is characterized by distinct features,wide range of distribution,high fragility and sensitivity and strong sense of participation and comprehensiveness.These features are important factors that should be taken into consideration in the development of tourism resources and management in agricultural heritage destinations.
