Abstract: The more and more significant the global ecological environment problems highlight, putting forward new requirements on the development of tourism and the transformation way of economic growth. So it indicates that tourism economy development and environmental protection should coexist, which is the base for measuring decarbonated development in the system of tourist attractions (DDSTA). Due to the complicated system of a tourist attraction, it not only contains connection between tourist activities and tourism resources, but also includes the relationships between human activity and ecological economy as well as the interaction of various factors in tourist attractions. This paper concentrates on how to measure decarbonated development of tourist attractions using the organic combination of qualitative and quantitative approach, proposing M2DL measurement mode associated with management entropy, measuring indicator reference set and application set for DDSTA and taking Jiuzhai Valley as a case study to apply management-entropy-based measurement system for DDSTA and extend previous research on low-carbon tourist attraction and tourism.
Keywords: Decarbonated development, ecological environment, management entropy, M2DL, Jiuzhai Valley
