Abstract: Rural tourism has e an important driving force of rural urbanization in China.
As the main reception base and important tourism attraction, tourism village is the core ele-
ment of the tourism destination system. Integrating the method of PRA (Participatory Rural
Assessment), GIS technology and high-resolution remote sensing images, this study aims to
analyze the spatial morphology evolution of rural settlements induced by tourism through a
comparative study of three tourism villages in Yesanpo tourism area. The results suggest the
emergence of a “core-periphery” pattern of the spatial evolution of rural settlements. The
closer to the core scenic spot, the higher degree of land-use intensity the village shows, as
well as the more mature tourism function and greater change in landscape pattern. In partic-
ular, Gougezhuang shows an increase of the floor area ratio from to , with the most
mature tourism function and the lowest authenticity index of . Liujiahe has gone through
the largest increase in construction land area from ha to ha, with moderately
mature tourism function and relatively stable authenticity index of . Shangzhuang has
the lowest construction land scale and intensity, with the poorest tourism function and most
well-preserved landscape authenticity index of . Overall, in terms of the spatial mor-
phology, the three villages show the characteristics of “modern town”, “semi-urbanization” and
“tradition
