The human settlement environment is the basic space where people live, produce and live. The tourism industry is one of the industries closest to the development goal of the human settlement environment. The coordinated development of the human settlement environment and the tourism industry provides vital support for high-quality sustainable development in the region, but the related research is relatively insufficient. Based on the panel data from 2010 to 2019, this study takes the Yellow Basin as the research object, using comprehensive evaluation, coupling degree, and coupling coordination models. The study aims to comprehensively measure the development level of the human settlement environment and tourism industry in nine provinces of the Yellow River Basin and analyzes the spatio-temporal differentiation characteristics of the coupling coordination between the human settlement environment and tourism industry in the Yellow River Basin. The results demonstrate an interactive coupling relationship between the human settlement environment and the tourism industry. We observe an upward fluctuation in the development level of the two systems in the Yellow River Basin and converging development trends between the two; however, the tourism industry in the region is far behind in driving the construction of the human settlement environment. Regarding the spatial and temporal evolution of the coupling coordination of the two systems, in the time dimension, the coupling degree of the nine provinces in the Yellow River Basin was relatively stable from 2010 to 2019 and maintained a high level. The coupling coordination degree was on the rise, evolving from near-disorder to elementary coordination. The two systems in the Basin still showed a pattern of “high coupling-low coordination.” Nevertheless, in the spatial dimension, the coupling and coupling coordination degrees of the two systems in the Yellow River Basin showed an unbalanced development pattern of “high in the southeast and low in the northwest.” The regions with a low coordination level demonstrated that the development of the tourism industry lags behind in the construction of the human settlement environment. Findings in this study provide references for increasing the resonance between the human settlement environment and the tourism industry and promoting the overall coordinated, balanced and sustainable development of the Yellow River Basin.
IntroductionThe escalation of the global economy has contributed to the emergence of several environmental challenges, such as global warming and the gradual depletion of the natural environment, which has adversely impacted people’s lives. In response, nations across the globe have embraced the carbon neutrality concept as a means to safeguard the environment and foster a green economy.MethodsThis study assesses the environmental impact of the tourism economy concerning carbon neutrality. Firstly, the quantification of carbon emission-related data in the region is executed using a hierarchical analysis method to pre-process the data for model training. Secondly, this paper utilizes the LTC-RNN (liquid time constant-recurrent neural network) model for model training. The model training is based on expert evaluation labels and cross-validation to execute comparison experiments.ResultsThe evaluation results of the model with different training features are compared with the expert results, and the optimal model with 10 features is identified, achieving an accuracy of more than 85%. Finally, practical testing is conducted, and the outcomes indicate that the proposed method can accomplish the task efficiently.DiscussionThe proposed method provides technical support for the environmental evaluation of the green tourism economy in the context of carbon neutrality. It also presents novel ideas for accelerating the carbon neutrality agenda and fostering a low-carbon economy.
