Exploration of the coupling coordination between rural tourism development and agricultural eco-efficiency in islands: A case study of Hainan Island in China

The coordinated development of rural tourism and ecological agriculture on islands is fundamental to achieving sustainable human-ocean relationships.This study uses the 18 directly administered cities and counties of Hainan Island, China, as a case to measure the intensity of RTD and AEE. Additionally, the coupling coordination degree model and Geodetector are used to examine the spatial characteristics and driving factors of RTD and AEE's coordinated development on Hainan Island.

海岛乡村旅游与生态农业的协同发展，是实现人海可持续关系的核心基石。本研究以中国海南岛的18个省直辖县级行政单位为研究案例，测度乡村旅游发展强度（Rural Tourism Development, RTD）与生态农业经济效率（Agricultural Eco-Efficiency, AEE）。此外，本研究采用耦合协调度模型与地理探测器（Geodetector），探析海南岛乡村旅游与生态农业协同发展的空间特征及其驱动因素。
