Abstract:
Mountainous forest health and wellness town is a characteristic town based on mountainous terrains and abundant forest resources, which provides good conditions for carrying out a series of health and wellness activities. Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a resource evaluation index system was constructed from the four dimensions: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs and respect needs, and self-realization needs. The index weights of each level were determined by the AHP method, and the evaluation level is determined by the FAHP method. An empirical study was conducted on forest health and wellness tourism resources of Tai’an ancient town. The results showed that: (1) According to the resource characteristic of mountainous forest health and wellness towns, the evaluation index system was more adaptable than the traditional resource evaluation system, and the index was more complete and the system was more perfect. (2) The forest health and wellness resources in Tai'an ancient town belonged to the third-level health and wellness resources. After the comprehensive evaluation, the advantages and disadvantages are delineated. Finally, some problems that needed to be solved urgently, such as the disorderly development of the town’s health tourism planning, the insufficient influence of the health and wellness tourism brands is, and the weak basic health and wellness service facilities.
