Rural tourism spatial distribution based on multi-criteria decision analysis and GIS
To study spatial distribution of rural tourism can provide scientific decision basis for developing rural economics.Traditional ways of tourism spatial distribution have some limitations in quantifying priority locations of tourism development on small units.They can only produce the overall tourism distribution locations and whether locations are suitable to tourism development simply while the tourism develop ranking with different decision objectives should be considered.This paper presents a way to find ranking of location of rural tourism development in spatial by integrating multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) and geography information system (GIS).In order to develop country economics with inconvenient transportation,undeveloped economy and better tourism resource,these locations should be firstly develop rural tourism.Based on this objective,the tourism develop priority utility of each town is calculated with MCDA and GIS.Towns which should be first develop rural tourism can be selected with higher tourism develop priority utility.The method is used to find ranking of location of rural tourism in Ningbo City successfully.The result shows that MCDA is an effective way for distribution rural tourism in spatial based on special decision objectives and rural tourism can promote economic development.
