| Abstract (English): |
Promoting sustainable livelihoods for villagers is an essential strategy for rural revitalization in areas enriched with heritage sites. Northwest Yunnan, despite being one of China’s poorest regions, is globally renowned for the Three Parallel Rivers and its premier hiking destinations, so exploring sustainable income-increasing opportunities for its villagers is important for its rural revitalization. By using density analysis, logical matrix construction and cluster analysis with GPS data, this study explored the spatial distribution characteristics of hiking tourism in Northwest Yunnan and identified the hiking popular areas. A revenue generation framework, informed by Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) and customized to the unique hiking characteristics of such popular areas, was constructed to analyze income opportunities for villagers in these areas, so as to offer theoretical support for the hiking tourism development and rural revitalization in this region. The results showed that: (1) The distribution of hiking points of interest (POIs) in Northwest Yunnan was relatively centralized with three agglomeration areas from north to south, namely, the Deqin Agglomeration Area, the Lijiang-Shangri-La Agglomeration Area, and the Dali-Yangbi Agglomeration Area. (2) Northwest Yunnan mainly had three popular hiking areas and eight hiking sub-areas correspondingly. (3) The income-generating opportunities for villagers mainly included unique accommodation and food service, guide and gear transportation services, equipment supply, tourism product sales, and logistics support for hiking races. It indicated that due to the differing temporal-spatial characteristics, and themes of activities in each hiking sub-area, the approaches to revenue generation are uniquely distinctive for each sub-area. The diverse tourism-related livelihoods of villagers enrich tourists’ experiences while the nature of tourist activities guides the villagers’ livelihood choices. Hiking tourism serves as a vital avenue for economic growth in areas like Northwestern Yunnan, where villagers can significantly boost their income by offering a variety of tourism services.

滇西北是中国最贫困的地区之一, 但也是全球著名的徒步旅游地, 识别其徒步旅游区并探寻村民增收机会, 是滇 西北地区乡村振兴的重要路径选择。本研究通过爬取“两步路”户外旅游网站的 GPS 数据, 使用密度分析、逻辑矩阵构建和聚 类分析探究滇西北徒步旅游的空间格局, 识别主要徒步热区及其特征, 并基于可持续生计框架分析各徒步亚区的村民增收机会。 得到以下结论: (1) 滇西北徒步兴趣点分布较为集中, 呈“极核状”分布, 自北向南分别形成德钦集聚区、丽江-香格里拉集聚 区和大理市-漾濞县集聚区三大集聚区; (2) 滇西北主要有北部探险徒步区、中部综合徒步区和南部休闲徒步区 3 大徒步区, 可 进一步细分为梅里秘境徒步亚区、玉龙雪山徒步亚区、丽江古城徒步亚区、虎跳徒步亚区、哈巴雪山徒步亚区、雪莲峰徒步亚区、 苍山徒步亚区、洱海徒步亚区 8 大徒步亚区; (3) 发展徒步旅游可作为滇西北各旅游区乡村振兴的重要途径。北部探险徒步区的 村民创收机会应主要以特色食宿接待、向导与装备运输服务为主; 中部综合徒步区的村民可提供向导与装备运输服务、特色食宿 接待、临时安全救援、装备补给、生活补给、旅游商品、露营服务、徒步摄影等服务, 可创建徒步俱乐部; 南部休闲徒步区可作 为徒步赛事的比赛地、特色休息点, 居民提供赛事供应和装备补给服务等。 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
