Abstract
This study seeks a scientific methodology for ecological leisure industry planners to contribute to a more ecologically friendly leisure industry. This study creates an environment suitability model (LIDES) for leisure industry development. This model sees the natural ecological environment as just as important as the artificial environment. This study identifies the following factors: suitable land, unsuitable land, park plaza, scenic spot, river system, global network reachability, local network reachability, business impact, industrial impact. The Spatial Syntax method is used to account for effects of the urban road network. This method is incorporated into a geographic information system-analytic hierarchy process (GIS-AHP) approach, thus developing this method further. The method is demonstrated in the leisure industry in Shapingba District of Chongqing, China. The final suitability index map for ecological leisure industry is divided into four types: highly suitable, moderately suitable, marginally suitable, and low suitability areas. As a result, 8.08% (42.55 km2) of the study area has low suitability, 82.61% (435.15 km2) has marginal suitability, 8.62% (45.42 km2) has moderate suitability and 0.69% (3.65 km2) has the best suitability for creating an ecological leisure industry area. Discussion and relevant suggestions are given for further research.
Highlights
With the rapid development of the leisure economy in recent years, an increasing number of cities focus on the development of the leisure industry
The geographic information system-analytic hierarchy process (GIS-analytic hierarchy process (AHP)) method integrates the characteristics of AHP and geographic information system (GIS), maintaining the advantages they each have for solving spatial decision problems
The results show that the river system has significance for a spatial pattern of ecological leisure industry
Summary
With the rapid development of the leisure economy in recent years, an increasing number of cities focus on the development of the leisure industry. Most leisure projects are scattered and uncoordinated, and their lack of originality and the scale of the leisure industry has a detrimental impact on society and the environment [4]. This condition is a problem in the city studied in this research, but reflects the general problem of the entire leisure industry in China. Traditional leisure industry planning often does not consider wider sustainability goals or negative environmental impacts It has become an urgent issue for governments, planners, and scholars to find a scientific methodology and develop theory from empirical case studies to solve this issue. Scholars point out that the evidence of pollution shows that the leisure industry in China is unsustainable and that individuals must take greater responsibility for their actions if there is to be any change for the better [5]
