中国喀斯特旅游研究:回顾与展望

Karst Tourism Research in China:Review and Prospect

喀斯特旅游实践对喀斯特地区经济社会发展意义重大,需要系统的学术研究进行科学指导,因此非常有必要对喀斯特旅游的相关研究进行回顾和展望。目前在国内喀斯特旅游的研究体系中,鲜有进行知识总结和问题反思的文献。本文梳理和归纳了1985年以来国内喀斯特旅游的代表性文献,系统地回顾了该领域的研究主题和研究方法,指出了研究不足,构建了研究框架,并提出了研究展望。研究发现:(1)国内喀斯特旅游研究经历了萌芽阶段(1985—1996年)、发展阶段(1997—2009年)和稳定阶段(2010年至今);(2)研究主题聚焦于喀斯特旅游资源基本内涵、喀斯特旅游资源开发利用、喀斯特旅游目的地品牌形象、喀斯特乡村旅游及扶贫开发和喀斯特旅游影响与可持续发展5个方面;(3)研究方法在定性研究与量化分析方面均有所涉及,定性研究成果较为丰富;(4)在学术界,喀斯特旅游的关注度呈现波动状态,且存在着研究成果质量不高、研究不成体系等问题;(5)未来需要加强对喀斯特旅游的基础性研究、经验性研究和时代性研究。

Karst tourism practice is crucial for the economic and social development of karst regions,necessitating systematic academic research for scientific guidance.Consequently,reviewing and forecasting karst tourism research is imperative.Currently,there is a scarcity of literature summarizing knowledge and reflecting on issues within the domestic karst tourism research system.This article reviews and summarizes representative literature on domestic karst tourism since 1985.It systematically examines research topics and methods in this field,identifies research gaps,constructs a research framework,and proposes future research directions.The study findings are as follows.1.Domestic karst tourism research has evolved through an embryonic stage(1985-1996),a development stage(1997-2009),and a stable stage(2010-present).2.Research topics include the basic connotation,development,and utilization of karst tourism resources,the brand image of karst tourism destinations,karst rural tourism,poverty alleviation and development,and the impact and sustainable development of karst tourism.3.Research methods encompass both qualitative and quantitative analyses,with relatively rich qualitative research findings.4.Academic attention to karst tourism fluctuates,often with low research quality and lacking a systematic approach.5.Future research should strengthen foundational,empirical,and contemporary studies of karst tourism.
