The evolution of the tourism ecosystem is characterized by its complexity, imbalance, and spatial heterogeneity. As a result, it has been the focus of academic attention across a wide range of disciplines, including geography, ecology, economics, management, sociology, and philosophy. Firstly, this article explores the connotations and characteristics of the spatial evolution of tourism ecosystems, subsequently proposing that the spatial evolution of tourism ecosystems is essentially different and "mutually inclusive." To do so, it searches through the relevant research results on "spatial equilibrium" in ecosystems from the perspectives of different disciplines and analyzes their different core concepts, theoretical systems, and research methods. Second, the coupling force acts as a key character and exerts an influence on "spatial equilibrium" in ecosystems as a dynamic mechanism, internal stability mechanism, and dynamic mechanism. Third, nonlinear, dynamic, evolutionary, systematic thinking, and axiomatic theories are combined to construct an internal stable evolution mechanism and abstract tourism ecosystem model to form an explanatory theoretical system. The results of the research show that the construction of the "spatial equilibrium" of the tourism ecosystem model should pertain to the initial state of the comprehensive environmental carrying capacity of the tourism ecosystem as it evolves to form a tourism ecosystem based on the coupling relationship between the internal and external elements of the "spatial equilibrium" state. Finally, the future research approaches in this field are summarized and assessed. The methodology and theoretical exploration discussed in this article will contribute to a better understanding of how to sustainably develop tourism destinations.
旅游生态系统的演化具有复杂性、不平衡性和空间异质性等特点。因此,它一直是地理、生态、经济、管理、社会学和哲学等多个学科领域关注的焦点。本文首先探讨了旅游生态系统空间演化的内涵和特征,提出旅游生态系统的空间演化本质上是不同的和“相互包容的”。为此,从不同学科的角度对生态系统中“空间均衡”的相关研究成果进行了检索,并分析了它们的不同核心概念、理论体系和研究方法。其次,耦合力作为一种关键力量,通过动态机制、内部稳定机制和动态机制对生态系统的“空间均衡”产生影响。第三,将非线性、动态、进化、系统思维和公设理论相结合,构建内部稳定的演化机制和抽象的旅游生态系统模型,形成解释性的理论体系。研究结果表明,旅游生态系统模型“空间均衡”的构建应与旅游生态系统综合环境承载能力的初始状态有关,通过“空间均衡”状态的内外要素的耦合关系来形成基于旅游的生态系统。最后,总结和评估了该领域的未来研究方法。本文讨论的方法和理论探索将有助于更好地理解如何可持续发展旅游目的地。
