Description

National cultural Park is the localization practice of large-scale linear heritage protection and utilization in China, and the integration of culture and tourism is an important way to activate the utilization of heritage. With rich heritage, as the Qinghai section of the Great Wall with the highest altitude in the world, it plays an important demonstration role in the integrated development of culture and tourism. However, at present, the integrated development of culture and tourism in the Qinghai section of the Great Wall has some problems, such as incoordination between ecological protection and resource development, mismatch between heritage value and utilization degree, etc. The recreation opportunity spectrum has strong applicability to balancing ecology and resource protection and utilization. Therefore, according to the current characteristics of the ecological and cultural coupling heritage of the Great Wall National Cultural Park in Qinghai Province, this paper, from the perspective of the recreational experience and needs of the recreational visitors, uses Arc GIS spatial analysis tools, and puts forward a model of constructing the recreational opportunity spectrum based on the ecological and cultural dual dimensions through multivariate statistical methods and factor analysis. The tourism service potential and development level of existing tourism resources are evaluated effectively. The findings are as follows: (1) The ecological and cultural axis recreation opportunity pedigree can be obtained through ecological sensitivity evaluation and cultural development potential evaluation, and the recreation opportunity grade of each region can be determined; (2) The Qinghai Section of the Great Wall National Cultural Park is divided into 9 areas, and 5 types of recreation opportunities are identified; (3) The corresponding construction strategies are proposed according to the characteristics of the recreation opportunity spectrum corresponding to the zoning and the recreation needs of the recreational users. The recreation opportunity spectrum constructed in this study can further guide the cultural and tourism departments to identify priority tourism development and construction areas and rationally formulate and optimize development strategies.
