Study on the Temporal-Spatial Variation Characteristics of Ecosystem Service Value in Tourism Typical Town at Yanyang Town, Guangdong Province

Abstract

The dynamic change of ESV can directly reflect the changes of regional ecosystem under the influence of human activities. In order to explore the nature and mechanism of the impact of rural tourism on rural ecosystem, based on the LUCC data and taking ESV as the evaluation index, the temporal-spatial change of the ecosystem in Yanyang Town, a tourism typical town, was evaluated. Conclusions as following: (1) The total ESV decreased by 7.19 million yuan in the past 16 years, but the ESV showed a trend of decreasing first and then increasing corresponding to different development stages of rural tourism. (2) As rural tourism's intervention on land, especially on forestland, is much lower than that of traditional agriculture, the ESV of most rural tourism villages shows an upward trend, which showed that most rural tourism activities have a positive impact on rural ecosystem. But rural tourism under different development modes also has different impacts because of the different dependence on ecosystem. Those conclusions show that rural tourism is an effective way to realize rural revitalization and sustainable development, but the exploitation of rural traditional culture and rural ecosystem value should be emphasized in the process of development.
