中文摘要：

随着旅游业的快速发展和城镇现代化的推进、景区周边涌现出了大量与景区不协调的问题，同时，由于人们对景区所处背景环境标准的提高，忽视周边环境与景区完整性的做法已不能适应新时代旅游者的需求。未来景区的竞争已经延伸到景区周边环境范围，为此，景区周边环境亦成为新世纪旅游发展及研究的一个新领域。提出景区周边环境的概念，通过检索和查阅国内外相关文献及全文电子期刊，发现旅游环境领域对景区周边环境这一范围地带的专门探讨尚属空白；针对景区周边环境的研究中，国内多从文物保护、资源开发、景观生态学角度出发，但或对周边环境的范围划定很大或过大，旅游实践的指导意义不强，或虽着眼于景区的可持续发展，但仍停留于“引起注意”的层面上，或未被重点对待，总体看来，国内研究不仅数量较少，且发掘得不够深入，缺乏从旅游角度对其进行的全方面审视，国外旅游理论对景区周边环境的关注也甚显微弱。针对这些讨论比较沉寂的局面，认为景区周边环境的理论研究应该跟上紧迫的现实需要，以促进景区的科学发展。

英文摘要：

Along with the rapid developing of tourism and city modernization, a lot of problems appear in the setting of tourists attractions. At the same time, with social advancement, the tourists＇ requirement and standard to the settings of tourist attractions are increasing, whose visiting to tourists attractions are not limited inside the attractions themselves. The status of neglecting the setting of tourists attraction could not fit the needs of tourists. After proposing the concept of tourists attraction setting, and through the method of retrieving data and consulting literature, this paper found that the previous studies of tourism environment had involved very rare the realm of tourist attraction setting. The studies at home directed against to tourists attraction setting, mainly starting from the angles of historical relics protection, resources exploitation, landscape ecology, but most of which either have no guiding significance for the tourism practice due to giving the tourist attraction an excessive surrounding scope, or still stay at the degree of ＂Paying attention to＂ though taking sustainable development of tourist attraction as the basis, or don＇t become the focal point. In a word, such studies not only have a small amount, but also don＇t work out in depth analysis. In the meantime, the voice of discussing the tourists attraction setting abroad is also weak. In accordance with the pressing practical needs, the paper considers the research for the theory of tourists attraction setting should be totally and thoroughly dug into to promote the scientific development of tourist attractions.
