An Analysis on the Social-Ecological System of Ecotourism Destination and Transformation Planning of Tourism Resources

초록

Efforts to promote ecotourism at major ecotourism sites in Korea remain at the macroeconomic policy stage, such as maximizing the value of ecosystem services or expanding protected areas, without considering the degradation of the biological habitat environment due to increased visitor pressure and tourism infrastructure. In addition, the development of underdeveloped areas and infrastructure for the vitalization of the local economy is given priority, and ecotourism is stagnant due to the conflict between natural environment conservation and social environment development. Therefore, a research is needed to understand the current situation of ecotourism and to suggest solutions. In this study, literature review on ecotourism impacts and social-ecological systems were carried out, and the Nakdong Estuary ecotourism system was analyzed. In addition, this paper suggests a transformation plan of tourism resources. This study has the scalability that can be applied to check the current system and suggest improvement methods in various ecotourism sites.
