基于生命周期理论的旅游者碳足迹分析:一种"低碳旅游"测度框架及其实证研究

Life cycle of tourist carbon footprint( TCF-LCA) : A "low carbon tourism" measurement method

生命周期理论是评价产业环境影响的重要理论方法,也是产业生态学的核心研究内容之一。文中结合国内"低碳旅游"的兴起和碳足迹概念的提出,应用生命周期理论的基本原理,结合旅游活动的周期性特征,构建旅游者碳足迹生命周期分析模型(TCF-LCA),并以河北野三坡风景区旅游者为例,对旅游者碳足迹进行了实证分析。研究结论表明,旅游者碳足迹生命周期(TCF-LCA)分析模型可以较好的测度和比较分析旅游者在特定旅游活动"周期"的碳足迹水平。这种理论框架可以较好的应用于指导旅游者低碳旅游方式的选择。同时它对于指导低碳旅游目的地的规划建设和低碳旅游产品的开发等也有重要的理论价值和现实参考意义。

Life cycle theory is an important method to analyze the impact of industrial environment,and it is one of the core research contents for industrial ecology. With the emerge and development of ＂ low carbon tourism＂,the concept of tourist carbon footprint（ TCF） was put forward by many scholars. In this research a model about life cycle analysis of tourist carbon footprint（ TCF-LCA） was built combining the periodic characteristics of tourist activities and LCA theory,and an empirical analysis on Hebei Yesanpo scenic spot was taken. The conclusion shows that TCF-LCA model is a good method to measure and compare the tourist carbon footprint,and is a tool for low carbon tourism management. This measure method will be helpful to guide tourists＇ choice of low carbon tourism. At the same time it also has an important theoretical value and a reference meaning to the planning and construction of low carbon tourism destination and low carbon tourism product development.
