Abstract
The aim of this research is to build an ecological early warning indicator system. Several complex and interlinked factors contribute to changes in the environmental quality of scenic areas. If changes in these factors can be monitored and controlled, the environmental quality of scenic areas can also be controlled, achieving the purpose of protecting the ecological environment. This study utilizes ecological early warning indicators to enable environmental management. Twenty-six early warning indicators are first identified through a literature review, interviews, and survey pretesting. A fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is then used to calculate the weights of different levels/hierarchies. These early warning indicators can be used both to assess the environmental quality of scenic areas, and to provide a foundation for the construction of an ecological early warning indicator system in scenic areas. This approach represents a new perspective on scenic area environmental management and ecological protection.

The purpose of this research is to construct an ecological early warning indicator system to explore the primary factors in environmental management of scenic areas, providing a basis for the design of an early warning system of scenic areas
The purpose of this research is to construct an ecological early warning indicator system to explore the primary factors in environmental management of scenic areas, providing a basis for the design of an early warning system for scenic areas exposed to significant levels of tourism
This study suggests that pollution and impact problems in scenic areas can be predicted and prevented using ecological early warning indicator systems
Summary
The purpose of this research is to construct an ecological early warning indicator system to explore the primary factors in environmental management of scenic areas, providing a basis for the design of an early warning system of scenic areas. With continuous growth of demand for tourism, the tourism economy has become a primary means of local economic development in many areas. The development of tourism in natural preserves and the establishment of hotels in scenic areas are important elements of tourism-related development [1]. Scenic locations are important resources and must maintain their environmental sustainability. The fact that these resources suffer from ecological degradation due to tourism-related development has gained the attention of many scholars and environmental managers [2,3]. Environmental protection of scenic areas has become a problem that must be solved along with the continued development of the tourism industry [5,6,7,8,9]
