With the intensification of climate change and carbon emission issues, the sustainable development of rural tourism has become a critical concern. However, the lack of low-carbon evaluation indicators, specifically for rural tourism, has made it challenging to control the environmental and community impacts of tourism development effectively. This study establishes a framework of low-carbon evaluation indicators for rural tourism, providing a reference for policy formulation and the promotion of sustainable tourism. This study employs the fuzzy Delphi method to select indicators and uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate their weights. The framework covers seven dimensions, including rural environment and resources, transportation, and tourist accommodation, with 30 specific indicators. The results indicate that transportation is a major challenge, while“rural environment and resources”is unanimously recognized as the most critical dimension for advancing low-carbon rural tourism, followed by“transportation”and“community awareness.”Among the specific indicators,“pedestrian system,”“bicycle lane system,”and“environmental balance development”have the highest weights, highlighting the need to prioritize infrastructure and environmental management in rural Low-carbon tourism development. The framework developed in this study serves as an evaluation tool for rural communities to promote the implementation of sustainable rural tourism. |
