Mapping Knowledge Domain of National Park Management Research in China

In order to objectively illustrate the research of national park management in China and promote the formation of academy-shared community, 753 papers on the theme of national park management in CNKI database are selected as the research object, and CiteSpace software is used to visualize and analyze the distribution of papers, authors, agencies, key words, research hot spots and frontiers.The results are shown as follows. ① Research on national park management in China has gone through a speed from slow to high. ② There are many but scattered domestic scholars who participate in national park management research and leading scholars are being gradually formed. ③ Most of the institutions participating in research are universities and research institutes, and the academic communities are emerging. ④ The research topics of scholars are relatively concentrated, but with diverse research directions. ⑤ The trend of domestic research has evolved from learning to self-innovation. ⑥ The research focuses on the management of all aspects of national parks, shifting from the initial reference to other countries’ management experience to exploring the way of national park management suitable for China’s national conditions.
