Measurement and Evaluation of the Coordinated Development Level of Aagricultural-tourism Coupling in Counties of Qinba Mountains——Based on the Example of Shanyang County
The integrated development of agriculture and tourism is one of the important ways to promote the revitalization of rural industries.By constructing an index system and a coupling coordination model,the level of coupling coordination between agriculture and tourism was measured from 2011 to 2020 in Shanyang County,Qinba Mountains.It was found that the comprehensive evaluation index of agriculture in Shanyang County fluctuated greatly during the period,showing an overall downward trend.On the other hand,the comprehensive evaluation index of tourism experienced rapid growth and has surpassed agriculture since 2018.There is a significant coupling relationship within the agricultural and tourism industry system in Shanyang County,and the coupling coordination has shown a slow upward trend,undergoing an evolutionary process from being on the brink of imbalance to barely coordinated and then to primary coordination.Based on these findings,Shanyang County should emphasize the role of agriculture as the foundation,consolidate the achievements in tourism development,and guide the coupling of agriculture and tourism to advance from the primary coordination stage to a higher stage in their coordinated development.
