Abstract
Tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments are closely associated with each other’s dissipation structure, which contains various coordinated and noncoordinated coupling states. Based on the perspective of reverse thinking and problem diagnosis, this paper constructs a bridge from uncoordinated pathology to coordinated development. From the perspective of incongruity, the framework model and evaluation index system of tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments incongruity coupling coordination driving mechanism are constructed. Also, the variation coefficient method is used to calculate the weight of each evaluation index and the coupling relationship and evolution of tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in Liupanshui city are analyzed by the noncoordination coupling function. The results suggest the following: (1) During the study period, the poverty alleviation level of tourism in Liupanshui city presents a continuous growth curve. Meanwhile, ecological environment development level depicts rapid growth initially and then slows down and improves further. In this way, it shows different stage characteristics from the tourism poverty alleviation level. (2) The discordant coupling between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in Liupanshui city shows a decreasing curve. So, the noncoordinated development relationship between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments is significant.
Highlights
Poverty is a universal phenomenon in the world [1]
Poor population in China is mainly distributed in mountainous areas, which have a high geographical overlap with the spatial distribution of tourism resources [5]. e tourism poverty alleviation of those areas is closely related to the ecological environment
We develop and plan tourism resources based on the ecological concept and idea of low carbon, the unity of human and nature, and the ideology of sustainable development in order to create and develop high-quality tourist attractions. is helps in protecting the ecological environment through ensuring optimum utilization and allocation of resources
Summary
Poverty is a universal phenomenon in the world [1]. Antipoverty has always been an important issue faced by mankind since many years. E core idea of sustainable development of tourism poverty alleviation is to consider and position tourism as a means of poverty reduction in order to solve social, cultural, and environmental problems [8]. In this context, it is said that tourism poverty alleviation in poor mountainous areas must be treated as a system requiring adequate allocation and optimum use of resources [9, 10]. The development of tourism poverty alleviation has changed the original local ecological environment. This study takes Liupanshui city, Guizhou province, as an example to measure the level of poverty alleviation and the ecological environment development in poor mountainous areas and establishes a model to distinguish the uncoordinated relationship between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in order to prevent the destruction of ecological environments in the process of tourism poverty alleviation, the reduction of quality of tourism resources, and forming a vicious circle [27, 28]. eoretically, the bridge from disharmony to harmony between tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments should be constructed to promote the coordinated development of tourism poverty alleviation and ecological environments in poor mountainous area. e study provides a good reference basis and feasible path for the sustainable and healthy development of regional economy, society, and ecological environments
