Spatial-temporal evolution analysis of cultural tourism industry coupling coordination in maritime silk road port cities: a multi-source remote sensing approach.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the spatial-temporal evolution patterns of cultural tourism industry coupling coordination in 15 strategically important Maritime Silk Road port cities from 2010 to 2020, employing an integrated multi-source remote sensing data approach. By combining Landsat 8/9, Sentinel-2, VIIRS nighttime light imagery, and Synthetic Aperture Radar data with socio-economic indicators, we developed a comprehensive coupling coordination measurement framework to quantify the interaction strength and coordination level between cultural and tourism sectors. The empirical analysis reveals significant spatial heterogeneity and temporal convergence trends, with three distinct development phases: initial coordination establishment (2010-2013), rapid improvement (2014-2017), and stabilizati
