Abstract:The advantages in landscape, ecology and space make urban fringe most important for urban tourism, but its transition, unstableness and interlacement lead some problems such as plan lag and disorderly management in tourism land use. Disputation has existed for a long time on the definition of spatial boundary between urban tour, suburb tour and rural tour in urban fringe, which impacts directly the scientific value, evaluation and management of the tourism land. This paper firstly defined clearly the range of urban fringe into three lays of suburb, town and boundary area; secondly used the theory of space-time model of social change to conclude the main tourism land types and their characteristics, including suburb beauty spots, recreational belt around metropolis, tourism garden and tourism satellite town; thirdly discussed the corresponding developing orientation; finally proposed a series of measures in optimizing the functional subzone, promoting the market circle and layer, conducting the protective development of town tourism, improving the quality of homogeneous tourism products, and implementing the simulative developing strata, etc.
