  1. The tourism urbanization evaluation index system comprises three subsystems: the tourism industry subsystem, the urbanization subsystem, and the eco-environment subsystem. Within this index system, T1, T2, T3, …, T6 represent the six indicators of the Tourism Industry Subsystem, while U1, U2, U3, …, U9 denote the nine indicators of the Urbanization Subsystem. Additionally, E1, E2, E3, …, E7 correspond to the seven indicators of the Eco-environment Subsystem. Positive indicators (denoted as “+”) are defined as those for which an increase in the quantity of the observed entities correlates with improved or more favorable outcomes; these are typically employed to assess positive developments. Conversely, negative indicators (denoted as “-“) are characterized by a direct relationship in which a higher count of the observed entities is associated with poorer or less favorable outcomes, and are generally utilized to evaluate adverse changes. A higher weight value indicates that the indicator exhibits considerable variability and has a more pronounced impact on the comprehensive evaluation.
