Abstract
The issues of tourism development and ecological environment protection restrict regional sustainable development, and arouse government’s and citizen’s concerns. An ecological tourism information system for solving the dilemma is described in this paper. The study focuses primarily on the area of East Lake Scenic Spot of Wuhan City, China. In the Web GIS system, a custom map server with volunteered geographic information is created by using Tianditu Web APIs which provide basic GIS functions and tools. Through the Ecological Tourism Information System, public could search and view the information of the scenic spots, upload their own knowledge about the interests. The system helps citizens to concern the ecological environment problem, monitor the government to take appropriate strategies to develop tourism resource and take practical actions to resolve the sustainable development of ecological environment.
