Abstract: By the methods and principles of tourism ecology, 8 first level and 6 second level indicators with their computing models were designed to measure the integrated ecological stress in mountain resorts. Taking Taishan Mountain resort as a case, its 13 functional zones were divided into 3 grades according to the intensity of ecological stress. Some effective ways of ecological compensation were also put forward to eliminate the ecological stress and to maintain sustainable development, which could be used to coordinate the relationship between physical environment and tourism activities in mountain resorts.

Key words: Mountain resorts, Ecological stress, Ecological compensation, Environmental construction
