Assessment of recreational use suitability of Qianjiangyuan National Park Pilot under the zoning constraints

Quantitative assessment of the degree of harmony between humanity and nature for national parks in China: A case study of the Three-River-Source National Park

“…The ecological aspects include the evaluation of ecosystem integrity and authenticity (Jiang et al, 2021;Zhao, 2021), ecological sensitivity (Yang et al, 2017;Meng et al, 2018), ecological health (Su, 2019), and ecosystem service value (Li et al, 2016;Zhang and Zhang, 2019), whereas the social aspects mainly include the evaluation of national park management efficiency (Rudnicki et al, 2005;Heiland et al, 2020), resident livelihood flexibility (Meng and Chen, 2019), and resident sustainable livelihoods (Shang and Cao, 2019;Yu et al, 2020). The evaluation research also includes an assessment of economic aspects such as suitability for research and study travel (Chen et al, 2020) and for recreational use (Xiao et al, 2019). In this type of research, the calculation methods of the weight of the indicator system are mainly divided into the subjective weighting method [Delphi method (Li and Cong, 2021); the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) (Tang et al, 2010); the expert scoring method (Yang and Zhu, 2016)]; and the objective weighting methods including the entropy weight method (EWM) (Zhou et al, 2021) and the gray clustering method (Lu and Li, 2018).…”
