Joint development of cultural heritage protection and tourism: the case of Mount Lushan cultural landscape heritage site

Abstract

The joint development of cultural heritage protection and tourism is an essential part of sustainable heritage tourism. Mount Lushan in China is such a site which in the past has had shortcomings in heritage protection and heritage tourism marketing. The present research addresses this issue by using digital technologies such as oblique aerial photography, 3D laser scanning technology, and 360 degrees panorama technology to digitize the Mount Lushan cultural landscape heritage site, integrating all elements to create a virtual tourism subsystem. It provides users with a virtual experience of cultural landscape heritage tourism and promotes cultural landscape tourism marketing. In addition, tourist flow and environmental subsystems were built through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and analytical models. The tourist flow subsystem can help managers to regulate tourist flow according to the tourist carrying capacity threshold. Managers can also conduct environmental health assessment and management through the "pressure-state-response" model provided by the environmental subsystem. Finally, a comprehensive platform was developed based on the system concept, which integrated the three subsystems and their functions, and developed different versions to provide a visual platform for tourists and managers. This study provides a new model for the joint development of cultural heritage protection and tourism activities.

The spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics of cultural heritage in the Yellow River Basin

“…The kernel density estimation method can intuitively reflect the spatial distribution characteristics of point elements in the region [ 18 ]. This paper uses the kernel density estimation method to express the spatial distribution density and local characteristics of material cultural heritage in the Yellow River Basin.…”

Study on digital protection and innovative design of Qin opera costumes

“…Digital technology can improve work quality and efficiency and reduce the damage probability of Cultural Heritage [12]. As a means of protecting cultural heritage, this technology provides tourists with more opportunities to contact Cultural Heritage [13], greatly promotes the inheritance of cultural heritage, opens up a new path for cultural transmission and is conducive to the preservation of Cultural Heritage [14]. The threedimensional (3D) virtual fitting technology can simulate the touch, smell and hearing in the virtual environment, combine the virtual environment with the real environment, and greatly improve the reality of the virtual environment.…”

Development of Water Culture Tourism of Mountain Ethnic Culture Based on 3D Image Technology

“…With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards , many buyers are simultaneously turning to the tourism industry, which has rapidly spread from large- and medium-sized cities to small-sized cities. Therefore, vacation has become the main form of tourism in a short time [ 1 ]. In order to meet the demands of consumers, real estate has seized the opportunity.…”
