中文摘要：

温泉旅游的日趋大众化,使得各地温泉开发蓬勃发展,温泉资源开发潜力的科学评价可为合理、有序地开发区域温泉提供指导意义。以旅游系统的资源禀赋、资源环境、可进入性和客源市场构建了区域温泉旅游资源开发潜力评价体系,并结合熵权法确定的权重建立了区域温泉潜力评价模型。以湖南省温泉为例,测算出湖南省温泉旅游开发潜力指数,在此基础上把湖南省温泉资源开发潜力区划为高、中、低、无4个潜力区,发现较高级别的潜力区分布在湘西北和湘东南,低级别的潜力区分布在湘东北和湘西南。根据4个潜力区的空间分布格局状况,为合理开发温泉资源的需要,从交通规划、开发模式、地质断裂带协同三方面提出了温泉开发相应的对策。

Abstract：Spa tourism is becoming increasingly popular. It leads to hot spring development growing vigorously. Evaluation about development potential of spa tourism resource will provide instructional informa- tion for reasonable and orderly development of hot spring. In the paper, the authors construct evaluation index system of development potential of hot spring tourism resources according to resource endowment,resource environment,accessibility, tourist markets of tourism system, create the model of potential evaluation of regional spa tourism resources combining the weight of information entropy, and calculate development potential index of spa tourism taking Hunan for instance. The development potential of spa tourism resources in Hunan is divided into high potential zone, medium potential zone, low potential zone and zero potential zone. The result shows that higher potential zones lie in the North-west of Hunan Province and lower potential zones lie in the South-east of Hunan Province. In order to develop hot spring resources rationally, according to spatial distribution of four potential zones, the paper proposes measures of spa tourism development from traffic planning, development modes and regional co-operation.
