Aligning Tourist Demand with Urban Forest Ecosystem Services: Sustainable Development Strategies for Enhancing Urban Tourism Resilience in Kunming

With the increasing importance of urban green spaces in leisure, ecology, emergency management, and other functions, urban forest parks play a key role in enhancing urban tourism resilience. Tourists are closely related to this, but current research lacks discussion on the sustainable development of urban forests and tourism resilience from the perspective of tourist demand. Therefore, this study took Kunming Xishan Forest Park as an example, conducted a questionnaire survey of 385 tourists, and identified tourist demands and weights through in-depth analysis using the KANO model and AHP. The results data show that among the 23 demand indicators across five dimensions, six are must-be qualities, eight are one-dimensional qualities, six are attractive qualities, and three are indifferent qualities. Based on the AHP analysis, we further investigated the weight of each demand indicator. The results of this study not only provide practical support and strategic guidance for the spatial planning and design of urban forests, thereby enhancing the sustainable development of urban tourism resilience, but also contribute to theories of urban tourism resilience and offer a reference source for other cities with similar aspirations.

Abstract

With the increasing importance of urban green spaces in leisure, ecology, emergency management, and other functions, urban forest parks play a key role in enhancing urban tourism resilience. Tourists are closely related to this, but current research lacks discussion on the sustainable development of urban forests and tourism resilience from the perspective of tourist demand. Therefore, this study took Kunming Xishan Forest Park as an example, conducted a questionnaire survey of 385 tourists, and identified tourist demands and weights through in-depth analysis using the KANO model and AHP. The results data show that among the 23 demand indicators across five dimensions, six are must-be qualities, eight are one-dimensional qualities, six are attractive qualities, and three are indifferent qualities. Based on the AHP analysis, we further investigated the weight of each demand indicator. The results of this study not only provide practical support and strategic guidance for the spatial planning and design of urban forests, thereby enhancing the sustainable development of urban tourism resilience, but also contribute to theories of urban tourism resilience and offer a reference source for other cities with similar aspirations.
