Spatial morphology evolution of rural settlements induced by tourism:A comparative study of three villages in Yesanpo tourism area, China
As the main reception base and important tourism attraction,tourism village is the core element of the tourism destination system,and has also become one of the most important forms of rural urbanization in China.Integrating the method of PRA (participatory rural assessment),GIS technology and HD remote sensing images,this study aims to analyze the spatial morphology evolution of rural settlements induced by tourism through a comparative study of three tourism villages in Yesanpo tourism destination.The results suggest that there exists a "core-periphery" pattem of the spatial evolution of rural settlements.The closer to the core scenic spot,the higher degree of land-use intensity the village shows,as well as the more mature tourism function and greater change in landscape pattern.In the research,Gougezhuang shows an increase of the floor area ratio from 0.17 to 0.44,with the most mature tourism function and destroyed landscape authenticity as well and it has the lowest authenticity index of 0.448.Liujiahe has gone through a largest increase of 96.54％ in construction land area,with moderately mature tourism function and relatively stable authenticity of 0.566.Shangzhuang,in contrast,has the lowest construction land scale and intensity,with the poorest tourism function and most well-preserved landscape authenticity of 0.942.Overall,in term of the spatial morphology,the three villages are characterized by "modern town","semi-urbanization" and "traditional village",respectively,in corresponding to three land development types:"intensive reconstruction type","enclave extension type" and "in situ using type".Tourism village is the basic spatial unit of rural tourism.The spatial evolution pattems of these three villages present the spatial characteristics of the touristization of traditional villages in different stages,and also has great representative value for the management of rural settlements in tourism destinations of China.
