全球气候变化背景下低碳旅游研究进展及可视化分析

低碳旅游研究是气候变化背景下旅游研究的前沿问题和关键领域。以Web of Science核心合集、CSSCI及CSCD数据库中关于低碳旅游的文献为基础,利用CiteSpace软件、Alluvial Generator程序、Excel统计功能进行国内外低碳旅游研究的可视化分析。结果表明：国外低碳旅游研究起步时间早,始于系统外部与旅游业相互作用视角,以生态环境和工程技术学科为基础,主要为了解决“碳中和”等现实问题,已形成固定的区域性合作网络;国外研究以定量研究为基本范式,其关键文献全部围绕旅游碳排放的测算,且已经形成了较完善的减碳体系。而国内低碳旅游研究与国外的快速发展时期相吻合,是从旅游业可持续发展角度开展研究,依附于旅游及经管类学科,尚未形成固定的合作网络;国内研究在概念理论的定性研究方面优于国外,但整体研究视角较为单一且未形成完整体系,其关键文献包含基础概念、理论体系、碳排放测算、影响因素分析等诸多方面。

Research progress and visualization analysis of low-carbon tourism in the context of global climate change

Low-carbon tourism is a frontier and key field of tourism research in the context of climate change. This study analyzed the literature related to low-carbon tourism both in China and broad from Web of Science, CSSCI and CSCD databases by visualizing the data using CiteSpace, Alluvial Generator, and Excel. With Alluvial Generator, shock flow diagrams for co-cited networks were generated. Results show that: low-carbon tourism research abroad started earlier from the perspective of two-way interaction between external system and tourism industry. The goal of low-carbon tourism research abroad is to achive carbon neutrality. The research is based on ecological environment and engineering technology and have formed fixed regional cooperation networks. All key studies focus on the measurement of cabon emission using quantitative research. They have formed a relatively complete carbon reduction system. Recent low-carbon tourism research stage in China coincides with the period of rapid development abroad. Low-carbon tourism research in China is attached to the disciplines of tourism and economic management with no cooperative networks. In China, the research is carried out from the single perspective of sustainable development of the tourism industry, with not yet a complete system. Research in China is superior to foreign countries in the qualitative research such as concept and theory, in which key literatures lie in basic concepts, theories, carbon emission measurement, and analysis of influencing factors.
