| Tourism is a consumptive modern-service industry with high level of industrial relationship and strong power of economy drives. Based on the urban condition, turn to copula, coordinated development gradually with urbanization in the process of industrial integration, innovation, interaction between town and tourism. Considering the new-pattern urbanization in C hina strategic background. Exploring tourism- urbanization coupling and fluid-structure model is valuable. Utilizing complex system theory, evaluation methodology is reasonable, that is the task and them of human geography. Tourism and urbanization in the Yangtze River delta are beyond other city- group in C hina. Analyzing the copula process of tourism and urbanization, estimating the degree of each city objectively, thus, it can help us understand the situation of tourism; comprehend the tour driving urbanization pattern at present. Which can demonstrate for other areas.This paper according to system science, expound the coupling form mechanism, course of evolution between tourism and urbanization, discussed the spatial relationship coupling of tourism and urbanization. Explained the economic coupling in marketing dependence, input-outcome, the amalgamation between industries and cities. Researched the residents cognize and attitude about the mutual of the coupling course. Proved the social coupling relation in planning and construction, urban governance, culture-transmission and brand building. Then, construct the tourism and urbanization coupling evaluation index system. Example as the Yangtze river delta city-group which consisted by 16 cities. Calculating the coordination level from 1992 to 2012, comparing the coupling degree in the different period and areas. Summering the traits of this process and point o ut the limits of this article. The conclusions of this thesis are: firstly, the relationship between tourism and urbanization experienced stress, actuate, copula, formatted in long term interaction of the tourism system and urbanization system. Reflecting on spatial, social-economy and culture, eco-environment. Secondly, tourism and some relevant industries like accommodation, trade-service and so on made contribution to the urban economy, finally promoted urbanization, the majority residents are had a sufficient urban tourism experience and approve of the tourism-driving urbanization model. Thirdly, the results of the coordinate degree calculate indicate that all the cities had a perfect transform progress, the level turn to moderate in 2005 and highly sta ndard in 2010, it keep increasing these years. |
