The Network Analysis in Rural Tourism Land Use Based on GIS

Abstract:

Along with the development of tourism, regional choice of traveling activities turns out to be diversified. Rural tourism has become more and more popular among the tourist mainly from urban area and affect the land use in rural area obviously. Due to the coarse and incomplete data limitations, traditional GIS technique such as RS analysis cannot play a very good role in rural land use research. Based on the explanation as series of interrelationships between spatial entities with the characteristics of social relations, network analysis is considered as a useful method to describe the change and structure of land use affected by tourism in rural area.
