  • The Landscape Evaluation System of Ecotourism Villages in Qinling Mountains - 8955

Despite the importance of landscape resources in ecotourism villages, there is no scientific and complete index system for the evaluation of rural ecotourism landscape. This paper attempts to construct an evaluation index system for the ecotourism villages in the Xi’an section of the northern piedmont of Qinling Mountain. Firstly, the preliminary indices and relevant data were collected through field surveys and expert consultation. Next, the weight of each index was determined using the AHP. The conclusion is that: in the criteria layer, the weights of the elements can be ranked as natural elements (A1) > humanistic material elements (A2) > non-material elements (A3); in the factor layer, the weights of the factors under the natural elements can be ranked as ecological environment (B1) > hydro-geomorphic features (B2) > landscape quality (B3), the factors under the humanistic material elements as settlement landscape (B4) > farmland landscape (B6) > road landscape (B5) > facility construction (B7), and the factors under the non-material elements as folk culture (B8) > community participation (B9).
