摘要

Enhancing urban ecological resilience (UER) is a new concept for modern tourism-oriented cities to cope with environmental crises. Revealing the impact of the urbanization on UER is critical to the sustainability of urban ecosystems. Taking Zhangjiajie, a typical tourism-oriented city, as an example, urbanization level (UL) and UER evaluation system were constructed, and the change trend was analyzed. The Granger Causality Test model was used to discuss the relationship between UL and UER. The results showed that: (1) the urbanization rate of Zhangjiajie significantly increased by 0.531 from 2011 to 2020. Cili county has the highest UL, and Wulingyuan district including a large number of scenic spots has the fastest development trend. (2) The ecological restoration was more sensitive in the face of rising pressure, and showed a synchronized change trend with pressure. The high pressure in 2016 had the most significant impact on resistance. This effect continued into 2019, with an average decline in resistance of 0.802. (3) The UL has significantly promoted the improvement of urban ecological restoration. Specially, tourism urbanization was the most significant in scenic spots, while economic and social urbanization played a major role in other regions for the improvement of ecological restoration.
