Abstract  

Boundary delimitation of natural heritage is very important for its protection and management. The existing methods for boundary delimitation generally rely on the prior knowledge and expert experience, and their results are not accurate enough. To better determine the boundary of natural heritage, a new method was proposed in this study. With the support of remote sensing images and GIS (Geographic Information System) technique, Wolong National Nature Reserve was chosen to be the research object to map its scientific and reasonable boundaries. Firstly, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was applied to analyze and build the hierarchy system of boundary influence factors, and then with the support of GIS model builder, the reconstruction model of giant panda habitat was established, finally the boundaries of Wolong Natural Reserve were digitized with GIS modeling analysis. Compared with the published documentations, the area extracted by the proposed method is more scientific, objective and accurate. Furthermore, the boundary delimitation method proposed in this paper explores the influence of ecological and humanistic factors on natural heritage and provides a clearer boundary for the habitat of giant panda, which also highlights the relationship between humans and nature reserve.

Key words:  Natural heritage      Boundary delimitation      Analytic hierarchy process      GIS      Wolong Natural Reserve

海拔卧龙保护区平均海拔高度为3 000 m,根据2002年自然遗产申报文本,选择大熊猫生存区域海拔范围为1 650~3000 m
坡度大熊猫主要栖息在坡度较缓的地区,本研究中划定50°以下的范围均为适宜区
植被保护区林地范围占50%左右,大熊猫以箭竹、方竹或其他竹丛的针阔混交林地区最为常见
人口分布根据卧龙保护区规划条例,人口密度小于0.2人/km2和5人/km2分别划为核心区和缓冲区
