Guan Hai-ling, Wu Liang-qiang, Luo yong-peng

Abstract

Along with the rapid development of computer multimedia technology and communication network technique, Geographical Information System (GIS) has been applied widely. A GIS-based approach was designed to spatially estimate direct use value of ecosystem services. The approach highlights the use of GIS to collect data, perform spatial analysis, and map economic values; the unique spatial database technology in GIS can combine the figure information which reflects the geographical position together with various kinds of information. At the same time, the functions of GIS in the development and management of tourism and the development and perfection in geography have been analyzed.
