Research on Carbon Emission Estimation of Rural Tourist Attractions Through Digital Management
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objectives: This study aims to estimate the carbon emissions of scenic spots in rural tourism using digital management technology. Methods: The Dashahe National Wetland Park, located along the old course of the Yellow River in Feng County, Jiangsu Province, was taken as a case for analysis. During the analysis process, the carbon emission, carbon absorption, and net carbon emission amount of the park during 2018-2023 were estimated. The correlation between different types of land area and the carbon absorption amount was analyzed. Findings: The carbon emission of the wetland park increased annually, but the carbon absorption amount also showed a consistent upward trend, resulting in relatively stable net carbon emissions over the study period. Moreover, the area of wetlands, water bodies, and grasslands exhibited a significant positive correlation with the carbon absorption amount, whereas the correlation between the area of cultivated lands and garden lands and the carbon absorption amount was insignificant. Innovation: This research applied digital management technology to precisely collect data related to carbon emissions within the scenic spot, enabling a more reliable estimation of its carbon footprint.
