The development of an intelligentized information platform for tourism landscape management using GIS and GPS technology

摘要

Tourism destinations provide a wide spectrum of services such as accommodation, food services, recreation activities, and conservation. For those services, tourism landscapes often need to build complex systems of infrastructures and facilities such as water systems and sewage systems as well as handling data from various professions such as site surveyors, visitor survey data, ecological data, and construction projects. To make informed decisions, the site managers need to put those multiple factors together into consideration. However, the information of the service systems is often disconnected, incompatible, and difficult to use. Therefore, the intent of this study was to develop a mechanism that includes materials, tools, and processes for the establishment of a Web-based, visualized, and integrated information platform for tourism landscape management.
