Abstract :
The paper, on the basis of analyzing the actual conditions of natural reserve of Taibai Mountain and drowning on domestic and international research achievements, established the evaluation indicators system and grading standard of ecotourism suitability of natural reserve of Taibai Mountain. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was adopted to determine the weight of the evaluation indicators, and multi objective linear weighting function was adopted based on MAPGIS technique for the evaluation, thus formulated the ecotourism suitability graduated map and functional zoning map. These provided decision support to the plan and development of ecotourism of natural reserve of Taibai Mountain, which will be of great significance for the development of ecotourism of similar zones.
