This paper combines game theory with Land Ethics to demonstrate a path forward for sustainable development. Our findings indicate that two likely equilibria can be reached. One equilibrium focuses on high short-term profits, but with ecological damage leading to less cumulative profits. The second equilibrium requires ecological maintenance costs (thus less short-term profits) yet yields greater cumulative profits. The comparison of the two equilibria and using the historical perspective of the Wisconsin Dells demonstrates how communities that embrace a Land Ethic can reach the equilibrium that produces greater long-term benefits.

博弈论、旅游与土地伦理

本文将博弈论与土地伦理相结合，展示了可持续发展的前进道路。我们的发现表明可以达到两个可能的平衡。一种均衡侧重于高短期利润，但生态破坏导致累积利润减少。第二个平衡需要生态维护成本（因此短期利润较少），但会产生更大的累积利润。两种均衡的比较并使用威斯康星戴尔的历史视角展示了拥护土地伦理的社区如何达到产生更大长期利益的均衡。
