Abstract The tourism environment is one of the important research fields of tourism.The author thinks that lake environment is the core element of tourism exploitation for lakes. With tourism turning into one of thedomain industry in Yunnan, the primary lakes in the plateau of Yunnan have become tourism areas.
The paper is divided into three parts. The first part introduces the basic procedures for Eco-Environmental quality assessment of tourism areas, which include the qualitative orientation of the tourism areas, the assessment index, the environmental inspection and the investigation of ecological orientation, the assessment of the Eco-Environmental factors, etc. The second is the core part, which includes establishment of tourism area of lakes, index elected and assessed, standard designed, environmental elements assessed, environmental quality partitioned in the different areas of lakes. The general analyzing and the comparative analyzing methods were adopted in this part. There is the main quantitative analysis accompanying with qualitative analysis. The paper mainly assesses environmental standards of water quality, noise, atmospheric environment, garbage disposal, carrying capacity of tourism, green ratio of the plateau of Yunnan. These guidelines indicate that there are environmental problems in the tourism areas of primary lakes in the Yunnan. At last, on the basis of the analyses, some conclusions are made as following:1) The restrictive and sensitive factor is the water quality of the physical environment in lakeshores tourism areas.2) All kinds of environment indexes show that the environmental quality has some problems in the main lakeshores tourism areas in Yunnan Province. However, the degree polluted is still under the limitation of restoration and control. 3) There are many causes that affect the environmental quality in the lakeshores tourism areas at present and the main cause may be the development of the industry and agriculture and the daily life of residents in the region. Some materials show that the tourism areas are becoming a main source to the lake pollution. 4) The polluted areas of the main lakeshores tourism areas distributed irregularly and in small patches. The rule of distribution patterns according to the polluted degree is:town areas > tourism areas > commonly exploited areas > unexploited areas. 5) The quality rank of main lakes environment is offered.
