| Agriculture is one of the oldest and most basic industry in the global economic system,whereas tourism is one of the newest and most rapidly spreading industry.As direct consumption of food comprises approximately one-third of all tourist expenditures,and agricultural resources can be diversified and utilized,agriculture and tourism have become two industries that are closely related and interactive.Therefore,strengthening the integration and mutual interaction of agriculture and tourism(referred to as the integrated development of agriculture and tourism,IDAT),and developing diversified agricultural tourism is significantly important for developing countries that are highly dependent on agriculture.However,there are still a series of challenges in the face of how to promote the industry integration of regional agriculture and tourism,and the prerequisite is to strengthen the understanding of the relationship between the two.The current literature lacks academic exploration and basic research on the influencing factors and dynamic mechanisms of ID AT.Therefore,based on the scientific analysis of the spatio-temporal characteristics of IDAT,identifying the development motivation and its mechanism,mastering the general discipline of IDAT,and proposing scientific development strategies,are not only the needs of geography,tourism and agronomy disciplines,but are also in line with China’s current efforts to solve "Three rural issues",promote the transformation and upgrading of agriculture and tourism industry,and achieve rural poverty reduction and revitalization.Based on the review of domestic and foreign research and the theoretical foundations of regional economic growth and spatial structure,agricultural versatility,industrial integration,and sustainable development,and on the background of China’s rural revitalization and the integration of three industries,this paper uses Delphi method,entropy method,nuclear density analysis,geographic concentration index,standard deviation ellipse method,case analysis method,inductive deduction method and other qualitative and quantitative research methods.The main line of this dissertation is around "theoretical analysis-model construction-factor measurement-mechanism analysis-model refinement-countermeasures and suggestions".Taking Zhejiang Province as an example,this paper researches the spatio-temporal characteristics,dynamic mechanism,development model and optimization countermeasures of ID AT,in order to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for it.This paper mainly includes five parts:The first part(Chapter 1-2)is the basic introduction,which mainly describes the research background,research objectives and significance,research methods and technical route,research cases selection,research content and frame arrangement,and then reviews and analyzes the relevant basic theories.The second part(Chapters 3-5)is the analysis of model construction,factor measurement and spatio-temporal characteristics analysis.Chapter 3 is oriented towards sustainable development,and scientifically constructs a measurement conceptual model and evaluation index system that reflects the causal relationship of ID AT.Chapter 4 takes county as the spatial scale,quantitatively measures the development level of agriculture and tourism integration in 62 counties of Zhejiang Province,and analyzes the characteristics and patterns of spatial difference.Chapter 5 analyzes the evolutionary characteristics and the spatial evolution of IDAT in Zhejiang.The third part(Chapter 6)is the mechanism discussion.Through the typical case analysis method and the inductive deduction method,it reveals the influencing factors and dynamic mechanisms of IDAT.The fourth part(Chapter 7)is the model induction and countermeasure analysis.It concludes the integration models from the perspectives of developmental power model,product development model and industrial integration model,and proposes to promote the integration development from the perspectives of space optimization,institutional optimization.The fifth part(Chapter 8)is the study conclusion and prospect.Based on the research conclusions,the innovations,research deficiencies and future prospects of the paper are presented.The main research findings of this paper are as follows:(1)Taking the sustainable development of agricultural tourism as the goal orientation,through the introduction of the "driving force-state-response" model,the DSR-based regional agricultural tourism integration development level measurement model and index system are constructed.The measurement index system consists of four levels,including one target layer,three criteria layer elements,10 element layer elements and 43 indicator layer elements,including 23 driving force indicators,12 status indicators and 8 response indicators.All indicators are positive utility value indicators,that is,the larger the indicator value,the greater the contribution to the measurement target.(2)In the spatial pattern,this paper calculates the measurement values of each factor index and comprehensive level from the driving force,state,response and comprehensive level of 62 counties in Zhejiang in 2015,and analyzes the spatial difference characteristics of each factor index and comprehensive level.The driving force index shows the spatial distribution of "high in Northeast Zhejiang and low in Southwest Zhejiang".The high level of the state index is mainly located in "Northwest Zhejiang and Eastern Zhejiang",and the low level is concentrated in "South Zhejiang and Zhoushan Island".The overall level of ID AT in Northeast Zhejiang is higher than that in Southwest Zhejiang.(3)ID AT in Zhejiang is divided into four stages:germination,multiple and rapid development,standardized improvement,and quality creation.In the spatial evolution,there is a certain spatial agglomeration phenomenon and an economic and social orientation of the development in the spatial distribution of agricultural tourism.The spatial expansion behavior trajectory is presented in a dense,complex and networked trend.The spatial expansion and expansion behavior is shifted from north to south.(4)Regional agricultural resources and ecological environment attractiveness are still the basic conditions for integrated development.Regional tourism market demand,market scale and level are the fundamental driving forces for ID AT.In the process,it is influenced and driven by factors such as the level of social and economic development,transportation conditions,science and technology,and government decision-making.Among them,the attraction of resources and environment and the driving force of market demand are the endogenous and fundamental driving forces for the integration of the two industries.Social and economic promotion,transportation support,scientific and technological support,government guidance,support and regulation are the exogenous and auxiliary thrust of ID AT.(5)From the perspective of promoting dynamic factors,product development and integrated level,ID AT models are summarized.Based on the current situation of uneven ID AT and local conditions in Zhejiang,regional spatial optimization and institutional optimization strategies are proposed.The innovations of this paper are mainly reflected in the following aspects:Firstly,the four-in-one theoretical research framework of "measurement-feature-mechanism-mode"integrates innovation with multiple methods.Using multi-cases,multi-methods integrated research method,applying geography,tourism research methods and ArcGIS spatial analysis techniques,attaching importance to the combination of multi-index comprehensive quantitative evaluation and spatial data analysis and case qualitative analysis to construct a"measure-feature-mechanism-model" theoretical research framework,the study strives to break through the bottleneck of the research techniques and methods of traditional agricultural tourism,summarizes the dynamic factors and mechanism of ID AT,opens the black box of the integration mechanism from the source,and deepens the understanding of the discipline of regional integration development between agriculture and tourism.Secondly,this paper constructes a level measurement model and an indicator system for ID AT,which lays foundations for the mechanism research of IDAT.Thirdly,as the research cases are typical,the models and strategies of IDAT presented are representative and advanced.Based on the case studies of Zhejiang Province and three typical counties,it not only presents the development pattern and situation of IDAT in Zhejiang Province,but also provides theoretical scientific basis and practical reference for the neighboring provinces to promote IDAT and sustainable development of agricultural tourism industry. |
