After several studies revealed spatial differentiation of touristization among rural settlements, studies were conducted to explain this phenomenon. However, most of these studies explained spatial differentiation of rural touristization in a qualitative way. More robust and detailed quantitative results are needed to evaluate the relative roles of different factors. In this study, which takes Yesanpo tourism as a case study, the Geo-detector method was introduced to evaluate determining factors of rural touristization. Results show that ＂distance to core entry＂, ＂tourist number and sojourn time＂, and ＂distance to the nearest scenic area＂ have had a strong effect on the rural touristization in Ye- sanpo, whereas ＂distance to river＂, ＂elevation＂, ＂distance to main road＂, and ＂slope＂ have had a weak influence. The latter did, however, contribute a lot to touristization when interacting with ＂distance to core entry＂, ＂tourist number and sojourn time＂, and ＂distance to the nearest scenic＂, indicating the importance of these four factors. Higher rural touristization occurred in the zone near the core entry, with many tourists, long sojourn times, and proximity to the scenic area.展开更多

From the macroscopic and microscopic aspects, this study uses the analytic hierarchy process and the expert consultation method to construct a relatively comprehensive evaluation system including economic and environmental factors, tourism development factors, geographical environment factors, supporting facilities and operating conditions. The evaluation index system consists of 20 evaluation indexes and 35 evaluation factors. Taking the Baileqiao in Hangzhou and Qianjiadian Town in Beijing as examples, the evaluation indexes are verified and applied. The results show that the main factors affecting the location of the homestay agglomeration are the economic and environmental factors. The evaluation index system is composed of a target layer, a comprehensive evaluation layer, a factor evaluation layer and an index layer. The target layer takes reas on able locati on of the homestay agglomerati on as the overall objective;the comprehe nsive evaluati on layer includes economic and environ mental factors (0.4396), tourism development (0.3039), geographic and enviro mental factors (0.1405), and supporting facilities (0.0545). The comprehensive evaluation scores of Baileqiao and Qianjiadia n homestay agglomerations are 92.644 and 88.734, respectively, indicati ng that both are reas on able homestay sites. This study is helpful for promoting the understanding of the homestay agglomeration location selection and the development and construction of homestay agglomeration sites.展开更多
