Abstract

Planning and design of self-guided interpretive trails influences not only tourist understanding of a local habitat and culture, but also management of tourist behavior, and sustainable development of scenic spots.Planning of self-guided trails was analyzed using tourist-oriented ideas and present day development practices as guidelines. After considering explanations of the scenic spots and characteristics of tourists, ten planning requirements were identified: formation of guide teams, analysis of the main objects of self-guided trail explanations, consideration of resources to develop trails, determination of the interpretive themes, selection of site descriptions, writing of the plans, design of the interpretive signs, evaluation and revision of the signs,manufacture and installation of the signs, and overall evaluation of the interpretive sites. As an example, the planning and design of self-guided trails at the Suzhou Eco-green Garden is presented.[Ch, 4 fig. 10 ref.]
