Abstract:A national park is a new type of protected area and plays a dominant role in the protected area system in China. In order to ensure the sustainable development of national parks, it is vital to conduct a scientific, objective, and comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of their management. The concept of a national park is to primarily offer ecological protection, and provide national representation and public welfare to the people. The function of ecological protection includes scientific research, education, and recreation. In accordance with the idea of "basis-action-effectiveness", this paper presents the national park management evaluation system that includes three first-level indicators of management basis, management action, and management effectiveness, nine second-level indicators, and 22 third-level indicators. Following a fast scoring evaluation method based on expert evaluation, the paper used the expert consultation and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate weight and determine graded assignment, and carried out a comprehensive assessment. Based on the described method, this paper tries to evaluate the management of the Qianjiang Yuan national park system pilot area. The results show that the evaluation system scientifically reflects the status of the pilot construction and management of Qianjiang Yuan national park system. This knowledge can be used to effectively guide the management of the pilot project of the Qianjiang national park system, and provide a reference for the establishment of the standard national park management evaluation system.
