GIS-based geological hazard assessment and construction of scenic sites selected: A case study of YaDing, SiChuan, China

After the “Copenhagen climate conference” tourism was injected with "low carbon development" new idea, the tourism industry will get a faster speed. In this context, Protect tourist attractions and the ecological environment, to provide public safety and comfortable tourism scenic conditions to become an important goal. Because traveling scenic area more located remote mountainous area, geological hazard is the primary factors that affect the destination safety. As a case study of YaDing in Sichuan, this paper has used GIS technology with data acquisition and extraction, conversion and editing, querying and retrieval, and analysis of space operation, space shows and other functions, and has applied in construction sites of geological hazard assessment. Finally, provide scientific basis for the visitor center, parking lot of the land selection.
