Study On The Coupling And Coordination Development Between Tourism Economy And Urbanization In Huaihai Economic Zone

Tourism economy and urbanization are two important subsystems and they play an important role in the process of social development.Nowadays,few researchers pay attention to the relationship between tourism economy and urbanization.Studies on the interaction between tourism and urbanization are increasing in recent years.Most research achievements are limited to a single coordinated development of city tourism or the urbanization,while the coupling between the coordinated development degree of comparison are few.Therefore,this paper takes tourism center the theory of ReBAM theory,coordinated development theory,using the combination of qualitative and quantitative,and spatial analysis method,combined with the situation of Huaihai Economic Zone,established ‘Tourism Economy-Urbanization' coupling coordination index system.Taking the cities in Huaihai Economic Zone as the research object,calculate and analyze the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of the coupled and coordinated developmemt of tourism economy and urbanization from 2005 to 2015.Using the entropy method to calculate the driving factors of the coupling and coordinated development of tourism economy and urbanization and analyze their driving mechanism.Conclusions are below: first,judging from the degree of coupling,the coupling of urbanization and tourism economy in most parts of Huaihai Economic Zone is at a low level of coupling.The coupling degree of spatial differentiation is obvious,and the coupling degree between Lunan region of Tai'an City,Rizhao City,Jining City,Xuzhou city and other cities in Northern Jiangsu Province is relatively high.,bTourism economy and urbanization have reached a good resonance coupling and the complex system tends to a new ordered structure,but most of the other cities of Huaihai economic zone is in the low level of coupling stage.Second,judging from the degree of coordination,,the degree of coordination between urbanization and tourism in most area of Huaihai Economic Zone is at a low level of coordination.Except for the large fluctuations in Xuzhou and Kaifeng,the coordination degree of most cities maintained in a stable and low-speed growth year-round.In terms of the spatial distribution of coordination,there are cities with high coordination and coupling: Taian,Rizhao,Jining and Xuzhou.The tourism economy and urbanization are relatively high,and the synergy development effect is strong,while the cities with low coordination and coupling are mainly concentrated in Yubei and Yudong areas.Third,there are multiple drivers affecting the coupling and coordinated development of tourism economy and urbanization at the same time.The driving force can be summed up by the combination of service competitiveness,economic driving force,consumption driving force,tourist attraction,and tourism market driving force.
