The field of rapid urbanization has recently paid more attention to the relationship between tourism development and liveable city construction. Previous studies have mainly focused on the experiences of tourists in tourist cities and seldom paid attention to the perceptions of local residents. Based on survey data of nearly 10,000 permanent residents in 40 key tourist cities in China, this study uses a multilevel model to quantitatively analyse the natural environment characteristics, sociocultural environment characteristics and comprehensive attraction of tourism in different tourist cities to explore their impact on urban liveability satisfaction. Results show that the developed tourist cities do not exactly correspond to the cities with a high liveability evaluation. The objective evaluation of both the natural environment and the sociocultural environment has an important influence on the liveability of cities, but the influence of the natural environment is stronger than that of the sociocultural environment. An intermediary effect exists in the subjective evaluation of the natural environment and environments for liveability perception. Simultaneously, residents' liveability satisfaction varies according to their age, education level, annual household income and other social and economic conditions. These findings provide insights for developing countries to further improve residents' living quality and urban construction under the condition of the rapid development of tourism.
近年来，快速城市化领域越来越关注旅游发展与宜居城市建设之间的关系。以往的研究主要集中在旅游城市游客的体验上，很少关注当地居民的看法。本研究基于对中国 40 个重点旅游城市近 10000 名常住居民的调查数据，采用多层次模型定量分析了不同旅游城市的自然环境特征、社会文化环境特征和旅游综合吸引力，以探讨它们对城市宜居性满意度的影响。结果表明，发达的旅游城市并不一定与宜居性评价高的城市相对应。自然环境和社会文化环境的客观评价对城市的宜居性有重要影响，但自然环境的影响强于社会文化环境。自然环境的主观评价与宜居性感知环境之间存在中介效应。同时，居民的宜居性满意度因年龄、教育水平、家庭年收入等社会经济条件而异。这些发现为发展中国家在旅游快速发展的情况下进一步提高居民生活质量和城市建设提供了思路。
