A Web-Based Conservation Spatial Decision Support System for Lunan Stone Forest Landscape

摘要

The Lunan Stone Forest is one of three unique landscapes in China, and is a very special type of karst landform in the world. It is not only a significant and successful tourist attraction but also has a very high karst research value. As a karst landscape, Lunan stone forest is inherently very fragile; this landscape can be very easily affected by its surrounding environment. So it is appropriate to enact conservation measures to protect this unique landscape. Many scientists and researchers have done a lot of studies on it. But most of these studies are only qualitative research. How to make full use of modern computer techniques and quantitatively research such problem is the purpose of this study. Through building a Conservation Spatial Decision Support System on the internet we not only can let public take part in conservation policy decision making but also can guide final government decision-maker to make more reasonable policies.
