Analysis on the Spatial-Temporal Evolution Characteristics and Spatial Network Structure of Tourism Eco-Efficiency in the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration
Based on the panel data of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta from 2008 to 2017, this paper constructs an evaluation indicators system for urban tourism eco-efficiency. By measuring the tourism eco-efficiency in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, we analyze its spatial-temporal evolution...

Based on the panel data of 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta from 2008 to 2017, this paper constructs an evaluation indicators system for urban tourism eco-efficiency. By measuring the tourism eco-efficiency in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, we analyze its spatial-temporal evolution characteristics. Furthermore, the modified gravity model and social network analysis are introduced to explore the spatial network structure of tourism eco-efficiency and its evolution trend.The results show that:(1) The overall eco-efficiency of tourism in the Yangtze River Delta region presents a fluctuating downward trend, among which Jiangsu and Zhejiang have high eco-efficiency, Shanghai and Anhui are relatively low. The gap within the region first increased and then decreased. (2) During this decade, the spatial network structure of tourism eco-efficiency in the Yangtze River Delta has become increasingly loose. The weakening of the network connection strength has led to a decrease in the regional tourism eco-efficiency to a great extent. (3) The network centrality of cities such as Zhoushan, Huzhou, and Huangshan has always maintained a high level, and these cities have firmly occupied the core position of network. (4) The spatial association network of tourism eco-efficiency can be divided into four blocks: “two-way spillover”, “net spillover”, “net benefit” and “agent”. The synergy and spillover effect between various blocks are significant, and there is a spatial polarization trend centered on a few cities. Based on this, this paper puts forward optimization suggestions for the spatial network structure of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, in anticipation of promoting the improvement of regional tourism eco-efficiency. |
