Abstract

Abstract:

National parks are an important carrier to balance the relationship between human beings and nature. Community participation is the key to the success of the development of national parks. In recent years, the protection and development of national parks and their relationship with surrounding communities have attracted much attention, including the contradiction between ecological protection and community development, the conflict between residents' rights and responsibilities, and the separation of government management and public participation. In view of this, this paper made a co-occurrence analysis of foreign literature by using Citespace software, and the results show that: ①the number of papers published in this field has increased obviously, the association of authors is weak, and the publishing institutions have obvious regional characteristics;②The research hotspots are diversified. Nature conservation, community management, eco-tourism and other fields are hot topics, and an interdisciplinary network system has been formed. ③ The research on community participation under the national park system can be divided into three stages: the practical exploration based on the relationship between man and land, the deepening of understanding under the background of multiple contradictions, and the coordination and overall planning under the multi-stakeholder game. The way to solve problems in different stages is expected to become a unique experience to guide the construction of national parks in China. Finally, on the basis of summarizing the development stages and characteristics of foreign countries, combined with the specific situation of China's ecological civilization construction system, this paper puts forward some research enlightenment and suggestions suitable for the development of China's characteristic national park system.

Key words: national parks, community participation, sustainable path, Citespace

摘要：

国家公园是平衡人类与自然关系的重要载体，而社区参与则是国家公园发展能否成功的关键。近年来，国家公园的保护与发展及其与周边社区的关系备受关注，已有研究普遍认为当前存在生态保护与社区发展矛盾、居民权与责任冲突、政府管理与公众参与分离等问题。鉴于此，论文通过Citespace软件对国外相关文献进行知识图谱分析，结果显示：①国家公园社区参与的发文量呈现明显增长趋势，作者群体关联性较弱，发文机构具有地域性特征；②研究热点呈现多元化特征，自然保护、社区管理、生态旅游等内容是热点议题，学科间形成了交叉渗透的网络体系；③国家公园体制下社区参与的研究可分为基于人地关系的实践探索、多重矛盾背景下的认识深化以及多利益主体博弈下的协调统筹3个阶段，其在不同阶段解决问题的方式有望成为指引我国国家公园建设的有效参照。最后，在总结国外发展阶段及特征的基础上，结合中国生态文明建设体系下的具体情境，提出适于中国特色国家公园体制发展的研究启示及建议。
