Analysis of spatial misalignment between the quality and scale of tourism urbanization:a case study of Wuling Mountain area of Hunan
Empirical analysis of the spatial misalignment characteristics and driving factors of tourism urbanization quality and scale in the Wuling Mountain area of Hunan from 2011 to 2021 using the center of gravity model,spatial misalignment index,and econometric model.The results show that:1)The quality and scale development level of tourism urbanization in the Wuling Mountain area of Hunan are generally on the rise,with the quality growth rate faster than the scale,but the overall scale is higher than the quality.In space,the quality and scale of tourism urbanization show a differentiation pattern of"high in the northeast and low in the southwest".Wulingyuan,Yongding and Fenghuang,as"double high areas"of quality and scale,have become"leaders"in the development of tourism urbanization.2)There is a spatial mismatch between the quality and scale of tourism urbanization in the Wuling Mountain area of Hunan:the degree of spatial mismatch shows a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with 2015 as the node.The direction of spatial displacement has shifted from a scale first positive displacement area to a quality first negative displacement area.The level of spatial misalignment presents a pyramid structure from high to low,with the proportion of low misalignment areas consistently remaining above 50% .3)Per capita GDP,per capita disposable income ratio of urban and rural residents,passenger turnover,and tourism industry agglomeration have a negative impact on the quality and spatial mismatch of tourism urbanization,while tourism population density has a positive impact on the quality and spatial mismatch of tourism urbanization.
