近十年国外生态旅游研究状况分析

生态旅游产生于全球人类面临生存的环境危机与人们环境意识的觉醒背景之下．生态旅游的热潮已经来临。为了了解国外生态旅游研究的状况并借鉴其经验．以Science Direct外文数据库作为数据来源，选取1997。2008年137篇论文作为统计研究的数据样本．分别从生态旅游研究的时序特征、研究者背景、成果发表、研究内容和区域等方面分析了国外近十年生态旅游研究发展的基本状况。研究表明：近十年来此领域的研究处于一个发展较快的时期．并存在明显的多学科性和综合性．所涉及案例大都是严格的生态旅游或深度生态旅游．发达国家和发展中国家在生态旅游发展的模式和动力存在较大差异，论文以综述评论和调查型居多。与国外对比显示：我国的研究在跨学科性、研究内容、实证研究、对社区的关注等方面均存在较大差异。

Analysis on Foreign Ecotourism Research in Recent Ten Years

Ecotourism came into being on the background of the global environment crisis and human environment consciousness. Nowadays ecotourism is the highlight of tourism. In order to learn foreign ecotourism research and experiences, foreign ecotourism research situation in recent ten years has been analyzed from the viewpoint of time, nation and subject of researchers, journals of the papers, research contents and areas and so on. In this research, 137 foreign papers in 1997-2008 are chosen as the date sample from the Science Direct. The analysis indicated that foreign ecotourism research has been developed quickly in recent years and was multi-subjected and integrated. And the research cases were mostly strict or deep ecotourism. Furthermore, the developing mode and impetus of ecotourism was very different in developed countries and developing countries and the most of papers are comments and survey-based. Compared with foreign research, the research in China has obvious difference in terms of research content, case study, and community focus and the like.
