Environmental safety evaluation of geopark based on CPTED concept and fuzzy comprehensive analysis.

In recent years, with the increasingly popular and openness of Geoparks, Environmental safety has become a major concern for sustainable geo-tourism. It is therefore necessary to conduct an environmental safety performance evaluation for promoting geo-tourism development. In order to identify and fi...
