Taking Zhangjiajie as an example, the evaluation index systems for tourism and urbanization development level were built, and the “drive-response” process of tourism urbanization from the perspective of time and space was analyzed by using impulse response analysis, dynamic contribution model, GIS spatial analysis and other methods. The research shows that from the perspective of time series, the driving force and responsiveness have positive influence, and the urbanization response is greater than the driving force of tourism, and the driving force of its internal influencing factors changed with phased features during the tourism urbanization process in Zhangjiajie. From the spatial view, the “drive-response” of tourism urbanization in Zhangjiajie is the process of promoting urban scale expansion, functional improvement, and quality improvement, and thus achieving mutual promotion and mutual influence driven by the effects of “aggregation-diffusion” of tourism industry.
