Abstract:

Development of a wetland park is an effective way and the main mode to protect and restore wetland ecological systems. However, there are some management issues caused with the rapid development. To develop orderly and healthy management measures of wetland parks in Beijing, this paper proposed an index system to evaluate the Beijings wetland park management, which consists of 6 kinds such as wetland ecosystem, wetland environment quality, wetland landscape, infrastructure, management and additional scores, with 24 factors. Each factor was given different weight and scoring range, as well as concrete quantitative assessment methods. The evaluation system provided a theory basis for scientific management of Wetland Parks in Beijing. Finally, Cuihu wetland park was used as a case study to be assessed for its management level.

Key words: Beijing wetlands, wetland park, management, assessment
