Evaluation method of the coordination degree between landscape protection and tourism development in the traditional village

Resumen

Landscape protection and tourism development are a pair of contradictions in the revitalization of traditional villages. It is an important topic to study the coordination between them. This research reveals the interactive mechanism between the protection of traditional rural features and the development of tourism, based on which the evaluation model and index system of the coordination degree of the composite system are constructed. The result is illustrated by the example of the first three plots of traditional Chinese villages in the Gansu Longzhong area from 2013 to 2018. The evolution trend of the traditional village landscape protection subsystem, the development of the tourism subsystem, and the composite system’s coordination degree were analyzed. The results show that the coordination of traditional village landscape protection and tourism development composite system at the same base period gradually increases. Nevertheless, the coordination between adjacent base periods is at a low level. The increase in the synergy between the landscape protection subsystem and the tourism development subsystem tends to be the same, and the two subsystems are in a positive development that promotes each other. Based on the above conclusions, this research puts forward the coordination strategies and suggestions for the protection of traditional villages and tourism development.
