Abstract

Landscape is a suitable approach forstudying tourism development in protected areas.However, due to its interdisciplinary nature, thelandscape approach has yet to highlight thedistinctiveness of tourism landscapes. To addressthis gap, this article begins with a fundamentalcontent analysis, emphasizing landscapedifferentiation as its primary concern. Data issourced from comprehensive landscape maps,particularly climate, topography, and biodiversitydata. Methodologies include document synthesis,field surveys, map overlays, and statisticalanalysis. Based on this foundation, the articleaccomplishes the following: (1) develops atourism-oriented landscape map; (2) analyzesspatial differentiation; and (3) analyzes temporaldifferentiation (through seasonal rhythms) in KonKa Kinh National Park. The methodologies forcreating tourism landscape maps and studyingseasonal rhythms in natural conservation areas canbe applied to other research contexts
