广东森林旅游发展现状、问题与对策

介绍广东省的森林资源、森林公园建设和森林生态旅游发展状况,评价了森林旅游发展所取得的成就,分析了目前存在的主要问题,并提出确保广东森林旅游资源持续利用的具体对策.     

科技旅游资源分类及价值评价

科学地区分和评价旅游资源,对有效地规划和开发旅游资源,促进区域旅游业发展具有重要的实践意义。作为现代旅游业重要组成部分的科技旅游,在旅游实践中发挥着越来越重要的作用。建立一个科学、全面的科技旅游资源分类与评价体系,有利于合理有效地开发科技旅游资源,促进科技旅游良好发展。本文首先简述了国内外有关旅游资源分类及评价的相关研究,其次在分析了科技旅游资源的概念与特征的基础上,综合考虑了旅游资源分类的国家标准以及其他分类方法,从而建立了科技旅游资源的分类体系。以此为基础,运用特尔菲法和层次分析法的同时,参考了旅游资源评价的国家标准和其他评价方法,定性与定量相结合,构建了科技旅游资源的评价体系和等级划分标准,以期为科技旅游资源的开发、发展决策提供理论依据。     

结合农业科技园建设观光农园的探讨——以潮州鹤陇山农业科技园与观光农园的规划设计为例

广东省经济和旅游业发展位于全国榜首，人多地少全国最为突出，但乡村旅游建设相对滞后，文中通过潮州市郊鹤陇山农业科技园与观光农园规划设计，论述了发展高新技术农业是新世纪广东农业必由之路，提出结合农业科技园建设，叠加农业观光园，把生态农业建设与旅游文化结合起来，是广东乡村旅游发展的主要途径。     

我国地质公园地质科技旅游开发研究——美国科罗拉多大峡谷国家公园科技旅游开发之借鉴

概述了我国地质公园地质科技旅游发展概况,以美国科罗拉多大峡谷国家公园科技旅游开发、管理和保护措施等为借鉴,探讨我国地质公园地质科技旅游的开发模式、开发战略与技术方法,并提出了生态科普与地质科技旅游并重模式、地质科技旅游为主生态科普等其他形式为辅的混合模式、生态科普为主地质科技旅游等为辅的混合模式共3种开发模式,重点突出地质公园科技旅游中地理信息系统的应用,探索地质景观三维动态重建技术的开发,以推动我国地质公园科技旅游向更高科技层次发展。     

旅游核心区与边缘区协同发展研究——以广东省为例

引入"核心-边缘结构"理论分析了广东省目前所形成的旅游区域结构,得出广东旅游发展存在着明显的"核心-边缘结构"特征:珠三角作为旅游核心区的地位和作用形成已久;相对而言,粤东西两翼与粤北山区就成了旅游边缘区.推进全省旅游全面深入发展,应协同好珠三角与两翼、山区之间的战略关系.提出了推动核心区与边缘区协同发展的几点战略措施.     

江苏省区域旅游产业与科技创新协同度研究

科技创新是旅游业现代化发展的第一生产力,如何有效推动旅游科技创新对于旅游业可持续发展具有重要意义。利用协同理论,构建了旅游产业科技创新系统发展的协同度模型,并应用该模型,以江苏省2006年~2014年的指标数据对区域旅游科技创新协同度进行测度,分析旅游科技创新系统的演化趋势。研究表明,江苏省旅游科技创新系统协同度呈现波动上升趋势,但协同发展水平仍较低,协同度在[-0.175,0.312]之间震荡,尚未形成有效的区域旅游科技创新协同机制。为此,应进一步推动创新驱动战略,"以游客为本",创新智慧旅游服务供应链,提高旅游业服务质量,鼓励旅游专利申请,提高科技研发成果的市场转化度,提升旅游业科技含量。     

广东省东西两翼旅游资源及其开发

通过对广东省各地区旅游发展相关指标的分析,发现东西两翼旅游业发展相对落后,因此开发两翼旅游资源非常必要。对两翼旅游资源进行了评述分析:旅游资源丰富,品位高;旅游资源各具特色和优势;旅游资源开发潜力巨大;与相邻地区市场竞争激烈。并提出了两翼旅游资源开发与旅游业发展的建议:塑造鲜明的旅游形象;建设区域性的旅游中心城市;与珠三角协同发展;通过合作推进旅游资源的整合与优化。认为在政府的规划协调下,两翼旅游业的发展对于推动两翼的经济、社会发展,实现两翼齐飞和广东各地区全面均衡发展有重要作用。     

论广东自然旅游资源的地学基础及地学旅游资源

从不同角度、不同层次分析了广东自然旅游资源形成的大地构造背景，所在地层、岩石特征和地理因素，目的在于研究广东旅游资源形成、演变和分布规律；为进一步寻找新的旅游资源、挖掘老旅游区潜力提供科学依据；作为科学导游的内容和普及地学知识的渠道。同时也对广东地学旅游资源进行探讨，提出了专项地学旅游资源与观光型地学旅游资源的分类观点，皆在寻求提高广东现有旅游资源的利用价值和科学品位的途径。     

旅游扶贫及其开发模式研究

在回顾旅游扶贫理论研究与实践发展的基础上,对旅游扶贫概念进行了界定,总结出旅游扶贫开发与一般旅游开发的不同特点,探讨了旅游扶贫开发的两种模式,提出了旅游扶贫开发的操作流程,并以广东省河源市东江画廊旅游区为例,对旅游扶贫操作模式进行了实证研究.

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
