Research on the Coupling Coordinative Degree of Tourism Development and Poverty Alleviation Effects in China Based on the Model of DPSIR--an Example of Guizhou

Abstract

Based on the framework of driving forcepressure-state-response, a DPSIR framework for thecoupling and coordination mechanism between tourismdevelopment and poverty alleviation effects wasconstructed by comprehensively considering the povertyalleviation process and poverty vulnerabilitycharacteristics of Guizhou Province. On this basis, byusing the data from 2006-2017, the paper made anempirical analysis on the development relation of tourismdevelopment and ecological environment coupling inGuizhou Province by using the coupled model. The resultsshowed that the degree of coupling between tourismdevelopment level and poverty alleviation effects showedmultiple different stages as human production activitiesprogress. The comprehensive evaluation index of tourismdevelopment and poverty alleviation effects in GuizhouProvince showed an upward trend from 2012 to 2019, andthe rate of increase was fast. The degree of coupling wascontinuously rising rapidly, experienced two stages:Firstly, the period from the severe imbalance period to theimminent imbalance period from 2012 to 2013. Secondly,the imbalance period to the primary coordination periodfrom 2014 to 2016. Lastly, the primary coordinationperiod to the good coordination period from 2017 to 2019.A transition from a serious imbalance to a wellcoordinated phase was achieved. According to thedifferent developmental stages of the couplingcoordination mechanism, we put forward some measuresfor the coordinated development between tourismdevelopment and poverty alleviation effects in GuizhouProvince.
