Analysis of the Factors Influencing the Landscape Design of Rural Cultural and Tourism Integrated District Based on ISM

Amidst the integration of rural cultural tourism industries, the study systematically identifies the factors impacting landscape design in rural cultural tourism comprehensive areas (RCTCAs). Leveraging Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM), it constructs a multi-tiered hierarchical structure diagram to scrutinize the intricate interplay among these factors. The study reveals that surface-level influencers comprise societal, economic, and ecological benefits, management systems, protective development, and brand ecology, while deeper influencers include policy and regulations, natural and cultural landscape elements, economic-industrial structure, and stakeholder preference. The ISM-based analysis facilitates nuanced and sustainable approaches to RCTCA development, offering a theoretical foundation for design considerations.
