Nonlinear effects of tourism urbanization on rural revitalization in mountainous areas:Taking the Wuling Mountain area as an example
Tourism urbanization is a new paradigm and type of development in the new urbanization process,which is of great significance for addressing the imbalance between urban and rural development and comprehensively promote rural revitalization.Taking 71 counties(cities and districts)in the Wuling Mountain area as an example,this study constructed a panel smooth transition model(PSTR)to explore the nonlinear effects of tourism urbanization on rural revitalization in mountainous areas and spatial heterogeneity from 2015 to 2020.The results show that:1)The development level of tourism urbanization in mountainous areas is ahead of rural revitalization.Mountain cities with high-level development of tourism urbanization have the greatest radiation driving effect on the surrounding areas and the strongest resistance to external environmental impact.However,the pace of rural revitalization and development in mountainous areas is slow and the task is still challenging.2)The spatial polarization of tourism urbanization in mountainous areas is serious,and there is a locking effect of high-value mountain cities.The spatial agglomeration effect of rural revitalization is significant,and the development difference between regions is small.The focus of tourism urbanization and rural revitalization is gradually shifting to mountain cities with rich tourism resources and strong economic and transportation complementarity.3)Tourism urbanization is an effective way to promote rural revitalization in mountainous areas,and there is a significant nonlinear relationship between the two.The threshold value of tourism urbanization of 2.490 is an important turning point for tourism urbanization to drive rural revitalization and development in mountainous areas.When the threshold is completely crossed,the nonlinear driving effect of tourism urbanization continues to strengthen.4)There is a regional heterogeneity in the nonlinear effects of tourism urbanization on rural revitalization in mountainous areas,and the threshold effect of tourism urbanization is the main reason for the regional differences in the nonlinear effects.In the future,mountainous areas should promote the development of tourism urbanization in stages,with spatial differentiation and high quality,and take the route of rural revitalization led by the government,driven by cultural and tourism resources,and involving rural residents,tourists,and tourism enterprises.
