我国作为多山国家,山地旅游资源极为丰富。但由于山地地质灾害多发,许多山地旅游景区都或多或少地存在着地质灾害隐患。山地旅游的成功开发,需要一个完善的山地旅游规划作为保证,而是否充分考虑到山地灾害及其防治,对山地旅游的成功开发和安全运营起到至关重要的作用。然而,现阶段旅游规划专业涉及山地灾害及其防治方法的内容相当少,不足以解决问题。鉴于此,作者提出了山地旅游规划工程地质方法的概念,旨在通过与旅游规划学科交叉,使山地旅游的安全得到进一步保障,并推动山地旅游的可持续发展。另外,上述学科交叉也为工程地质学提供了一个新的研究方向。
China,a mountainous country in Asia,is rich in mountain tourism resources.Buddhist Mountains like Emei Mountain,Wuyue(Mount tai and other four Mountains),and other famous scenic mountains like Huangshan have attracted numerous visitors every year.At the same time,affected by the frequently occurred mountain geological hazards,many of these tourist attractions have become high-risk areas.Therefore,a sound tourism planning which has taken full consideration of the mountain hazards is of particular significance to the success of mountain tourism development.However,current tourism planning for mountain areas contains few considerations of mountain hazards prevention and treatment,and thus incapable to manage the safety risks faced by tourists.For this reason,we proposed the conception of mountain tourism planning served engineering geology-a interdiscipline of tourism planning and engineering geology-for the purpose of ensuring tourists safety and constructing tourism safety guarantee system in mountain resorts,and hence promoting the sustainable development of mountain tourism industry.Moreover,this interdisciplinary research identifies a new research area of engineering geology.
