Spatial correlation network structure and driving factors of tourism ecological resilience in China
In the contemporary context of ecological civilization construction,evaluating the tourism ecosystem is crucial for assessing the industry's progress toward sustainable development and its adoption of green practices.This study adopts a"resilience"perspective to underscore the complex and dynamic evolution of the tourism ecosystem.Focusing on the 31 provincial-level regions in China from 2011 to 2020,current research constructs a comprehensive index system to gauge the resilience of the tourism ecosystem.It assesses China's development level and examines its spatial correlation strength using a modified gravity model.Additionally,social network analysis is employed to elucidate the spatial correlation network structure and its driving factors.The findings reveal several key insights:(1)There is a consistent upward trend in the resilience level of China's provincial tourism ecosystems,with a regional pattern where the eastern region leads,and central and western regions follow.The spatial association network is becoming more complex and denser,particularly with more pronounced characteristics of density in the east and sparsity in the west.(2)While the overall network structure is increasingly integrated,it has not yet achieved an optimal state of spatial correlation.The eastern region holds a dominant position in the spatial correlation network,whereas some central and western areas remain on the periphery.(3)Specific regional roles are identified:Jiangsu,Shanghai,Beijing,and Tianjin emerge as"net benefit"areas,Zhejiang Guangdong and Fujian serve as"brokers",and regions like Shanxi and Hebei are characterized by"two-way spillover".Conversely,Xinjiang,Xizang,Guizhou,and Yunnan are classified as"net spillover"areas.(4)The disparitiesin environmental regulation intensity,industrial upgrading,spatial distance,economic level,scientific and technological innovation,and opening to the outside world positively influence the spatial correlation effect of China's tourism ecological resilience.In the context of multiple effects superimposed,the green energy of tourism industry continues to manifest,and the correlation characteristics become more and more obvious.These conclusions address scholarly concerns regarding the symbiotic relationship between sustainable tourism development and ecological civilization construction.They offer significant guidance for enhancing the resilience of the tourism ecosystem and fortifying its spatial interactions with other regions.
