目的研究旅游经济与生态环境的耦合关系及协调发展的作用机理,为旅游可持续发展提供理论依据。方法运用复杂系统论构建旅游经济与生态环境耦合协调发展的概念模型和数学模型,对西安市2001-2009年旅游经济与生态环境协调发展情况做实证分析。结果西安市旅游经济与生态环境综合发展指数的交错攀升,耦合协调等级由2001年的勉强协调级增长到2009年的良好协调级,增长方式由旅游经济滞后型转变为旅游经济与生态环境同步发展型,旅游经济与生态环境系统之间存在良性互动、协调发展正耦合关系。结论旅游经济与生态环境的耦舍协调发展是旅游可持续发展的基本保障和重要内容,耦合协调度评价模型可以很好地分析二者之间耦合关系与协调发展的状态,是定量分析旅游可持续发展状况的重要工具。
Aim To study the relationship between tourism economy and eco environment, and the interaction mechanism of harmonious development to offer theoretical reference to the sustainable development of tourism. Methods The complexity theory system is applied to construct the conceptual model and the mathematic model of the relationship between tourism economy and eco environment, in order to achieve an empirical analysis on the harmonious development of tourism economy and the eco environment of Xi'an City during the years between 2001 and 2009. Results The alternative augmentation and the coupling coordination level of tourism economy and the eco environment has improved from being barely coordinated to being well coordinated. The pattern of growth has changed from a tourism economy lagging behind to a tourism economy synchronically to the eco environment in de- velopment. The tourism economy and the eco environment share a positive interaction and harmonious development with a coupling coordination. Conclusion The coupling coordination of tourism economy and eco environment is the basic guarantee and crucial aspect of the sustainable development of tourism. The appraisal system of coupling coordination can conduct effective analysis of the coupling relationship and the stage of coordinated development, serving as an important instrument for the quantitative analysis of the sustainable development of tourism.
