Resumen
This study presents a low-carbon decision-making algorithm for water-spot tourists, based on the k-NN spatial-accessibility optimization model, to address the problems of water-spot tourism spatial decision-making. The attributes of scenic water spots previously visited by the tourists were knowledge-mined, to ascertain the tourists? interest-tendencies. A scenic water-spot classification model was constructed, to classify scenic water spots in tourist cities. Then, a scenic water spot spatial-accessibility optimization model was set up, to sequence the scenic spots. Based on the tourists? interest-tendencies, and the spatial accessibility of the scenic water spots, a spatial-decision algorithm was constructed for water-spot tourists, to make decisions for the tourists, in regard to the tour routes with optimal accessibility and lowest cost. An experiment was performed, in which the tourist city of Leshan was chosen as the research object. The scenic water spots were classified, and the spatial accessibility for each scenic spot was calculated; then, the optimal tour routes with optimal spatial accessibility and the lowest cost were output. The experiment verified that the tour routes that were output via the proposed algorithm had stronger spatial accessibility, and cost less than the sub-optimal ones, and were thus more environmentally friendly.
