Abstract: The comprehensive development index of tourism industry system and human settlements system in 31 provinces(cities,autonomous regions)(except Hongkong,Macao and Taiwan) of China from 2011 to 2017 was calculated by using entropy method and coupling coordination model, and the coupling coordination degree between them was obtained, and their evolution law was explored. The empirical study shows that the spatial differentiation of the coupling coordination degree between China's tourism industry and human settlements is obvious, showing a spatial pattern of “high in the east and low in the west”. During the study period, most provinces' coupling coordination level remained unchanged, some provinces improved, and a few provinces have decreased. Finally, according to the comprehensive development index ranking of tourism industry and human settlements system, 31 provinces (cities,autonomous regions) are divided into four types:High coordination, more tourism, low coordination and more human settlement, and relevant development suggestions are put forward.

Key words: tourism industry, human settlement, coupling coordination, evolution
