Study On The Coupling Synergy Relationship Between Area Tourism Flow And Transportation Network In The Five Northwestern Provinces

Transportation is the prerequisite of the development of tourism industry,which is also one of the hot topics of tourism research.Tourism flow is the reflection of tourism demand and it needs to be satisfied by the transportation.Currently,most Chinese studies are focused on the transportation planning,carbon footprint and impact of transportation.The research about the relationship between transportation and tourism flow is still in paucity.However,there is a clear interaction between the tourism flow and transportation,tourism transportation is a central section of tourism activities as the bridge between tourism destination and tourists.The five northwestern provinces have enjoyed a remote geographical location and poor accessibility.Though the five northwestern provinces possess high-quality tourism attractions,the richness is rather low and they disperse widely.This article is based on the system,coupling and synergy theory,choosing Shaanxi,Gansu,Ningxia,Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces as the research platform and taking the coupling synergy relationship between area tourism flow and transportation network as the research content.The data were collected through the official statistics of the five northwestern provinces and were processed by the IBM SPSS and Excel software.With the combination of the quantitative and qualitative method,the general development level and coupling development degree of the area tourism flow and transportation network in the five northwestern provinces from 2006-2015 were calculated.The time series analysis of the general development level and coupling development degree of the area tourism flow and transportation network in the five northwestern provinces were discussed.At last,the gray correlation method was used to analyze the fifteen indexes which exert influence on the coupling synergy nexus of the area tourism flow and transportation network and the correlation degree of the indexes was sorted.The absolute and relative differences of the coupling synergy development between area tourism flow and transportation network from 2006-2015.The main research content is as follow: 1.Based on the research result of the former researchers,indexes which can be used to evaluate the general development level of the area tourism flow and transportation network were chosen and the index evaluation system were built;2.Coupling synergy system grade was confirmed and the general development level model and coupling synergy relationship model were built,the weight of the indexes were calculated through entropy method;3.The time series analysis of the general development level and system coupling synergy degree of the area tourism flow and transportation network in the five northwestern provinces were discussed;4.The gray correlation method was used to calculate the correlation degree between the indexes and the coupling synergy level of area tourism flow and transportation network;5.The absolute and relative differences model.
