摘要

摘要世界自然遗产地的敏感自然环境容易受到包括旅游在内的人为压力的破坏。本文以日本的知子半岛为例,分析了自然遗产旅游面临的几个挑战。知子半岛以丰富的海洋和陆地生态系统之间的连通性而闻名,其标志是季节性海冰的形成和几种濒危物种的出现。然而,自然环境仍然支离破碎,游客的增加给脆弱的生态系统带来了新的压力。基于游客调查、多方利益相关者访谈和参与者观察,本研究发现了WNHS地区利益相关者对持续的环境变化和生态系统破碎化的认识不足、旅游业和野生动物视觉消费作为新的压力源的出现、导游缺乏有效的科学沟通技能以及游客中心的利用不足等问题。此外,对濒危物种的法律保护不足,当地管理中普遍采用物种控制方法,以及当地导游缺乏多语言技能,都影响了该遗址。这种情况需要生态专家、遗产管理者、当地居民和游客之间进行开放和批判性的对话,以及对影响该地区自然环境的复杂挑战的全面理解。

Tourism and sustainability at a crossroads in Shiretoko UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in Japan
ABSTRACT Sensitive natural environments of World Natural Heritage Sites (WNHS) are prone to damage from anthropogenic stressors including tourism. This article analyzes the case of Shiretoko Peninsula in Japan and identifies several challenges for natural heritage tourism. Shiretoko Peninsula is known for the connectivity between rich marine and terrestrial ecosystems symbolized by the formation of seasonal sea ice and the occurrence of several endangered species. However, the natural environment remains fragmented and visitor increase creates new pressure on the fragile ecosystems. Based on a visitor survey, multiple stakeholder interviews, and participant observation, this study identified problems such as low stakeholder awareness of ongoing environmental change and fragmentation of ecosystems in the WNHS area, emergence of tourism and ocular consumption of wildlife as novel stressors, lack of effective science communication skills in guides, and inadequate utilization of visitor centers. In addition, inadequate legal protection of endangered species, prevalence of a species control approach in the local management, and a lack of multilingual skills among local guides affect the site. This situation necessitates an open and critical dialogue between ecological experts, heritage managers, local inhabitants, and tourists, as well as a holistic understanding of the complex challenges affecting the natural environment of the place.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Heritage Tourism ( JHT ) is a peer-reviewed, international transdisciplinary journal. JHT focuses on exploring the many facets of one of the most notable and widespread types of tourism. Heritage tourism is among the very oldest forms of travel. Activities such as visits to sites of historical importance, including built environments and urban areas, rural and agricultural landscapes, natural regions, locations where historic events occurred and places where interesting and significant living cultures dominate are all forms of heritage tourism. As such, this form of tourism dominates the industry in many parts of the world and involves millions of people. During the past 20 years, the study of tourism has become highly fragmented and specialised into various theme areas, or concentrations. Within this context, heritage tourism is one of the most commonly investigated forms of tourism, and hundreds of scholars and industry workers are involved in researching its dynamics and concepts. This academic attention has resulted in the publication of hundreds of refereed articles in various scholarly media, yet, until now there has been no journal devoted specifically to heritage tourism; Journal of Heritage Tourism was launched to fill this gap. JHT seeks to critically examine all aspects of heritage tourism. Some of the topics to be explored within the context of heritage tourism will include colonial heritage, commodification, interpretation, urban renewal, religious tourism, genealogy, patriotism, nostalgia, folklore, power, funding, contested heritage, historic sites, identity, industrial heritage, marketing, conservation, ethnicity, education and indigenous heritage.
