Abstract

Selecting the most scenic viewpoints in an island forest park can provide a scientific basis for island ecotourism planning. In this paper, considering the influence of climatic conditions on sightseeing, landscape factors, accessibility factors, and seasonal change factors are selected from the perspective of time and space to analyze the landscape spatiotemporal characteristics, and the construction of a landscape spatiotemporal perception evaluation model and the analysis of influencing factors are carried out. The results show that the evaluation model for landscape spatiotemporal perception factors can quantitatively describe tourists’ comprehensive perception of a landscape in different regions and time periods in ecotourism areas, and can identify the spatiotemporal characteristics of landscape perception. Case studies preliminarily prove the feasibility of the model and calculation process. This method provides a strong reference for the development and planning of island tourism, especially providing new ideas and methods for the design of sightseeing routes in the development and planning of small-scale scenic viewpoints, which can enrich island tourism planning.
