基于主成分指标的西湖文化景观保护与旅游发展相关性研究

A Correlation Research of the West Lake Cultural Landscape Protection and Tourism Development—Based on the Principal Component Index

摘要: 世界文化景观遗产是人类优秀文明成果的代表。随着世界遗产与旅游的结合越来越紧密，这些遗产地逐渐成为旅游发展的“招牌”。本文首先介绍了世界文化景观遗产的现状，以及我国杭州西湖文化景观的遗产资源。然后采用相关分析法分析环境保护支出与旅游发展的关系，其中采用了主成分分析法将指标进行降维处理。最后得出西湖旅游发展与环保成本成正比的结论。因此，今后遗产地发展旅游的同时，更要重视环境代价。

Abstract: It is recognized that the World Heritage Cultural Landscape presents the outstanding civilization achievements of human beings. As the relationship of World Heritage and tourism is more and more close, the World Heritage Sites are gradually used as “the selling points” of tourism industry. This thesis firstly introduces the current situation of the World Heritage Cultural Landscape and summarizes the heritage resources of the West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou. Then, the study applies Correlation Analysis in examining the relationship between tourism development and environmental protection expenditure, in which the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) will be employed as indicators for dimension reduction. Finally, a conclusion will be drawn that the tourism development is in direct proportion to the environmental protection expenditure. Therefore, we should attach great importance to the environmental costs in the tourism devel- opment of heritage sites.
