Balancing tourism development and habitat conservation in fragile ecosystems: A case study of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. by Bo Yang, Jiawei Wu, Anna Miao, Jinlu Ran, Rong Jia

“…At the county scale, Diebu County in the southeast (0.82) and Maqu County in the northwest (0.31) form a polar contrast; the differences in township scales are more significant, and Chagang Township in the Zhouqu County (0.89) and Yuzhong Street in the Hezuo city (0.18) respectively represent the optimal and worst habitat units. (2) Tourism development presents a "core-transition- marginal" circle structure, Xiahe, Hezuo and other northern counties and cities to form the core of the development of factor concentration (kernel density value > 3.5), Luqu County for the transition zone, Maqu County is in the development of the marginal area. (3) Analysis of geodetector shows that topographic factors (elevation q = 0.62, slope q = 0.58) dominate the natural background distinction, while tourism factors (q = 0.71) become the primary man-made driving force in the core development area. …”
