Agriculture, Culture and Tourism integration means the integration of agricultural production, culture’s heritage preservation roles, and tourism for recreation purpose to form a new industry. In this article, the author discusses the intelligent data mechanism of agricultural culture and tourism integration and establishes the evaluation index system for the integrated industry of agricultural culture and tourism. The study utilizes the case of Yijun County between 2015 to 2024 to illustrate how the entropy weight, coupling coordination index, and spatiotemporal development are studied. Lastly, geographical detector approach is employed to understand the influencing factors on the agriculture-culture-tourism integration. The results show a general upward development trend in Yijun County’s agricultural tourism from 2015 to 2024, while the overall coordination and coupling relationship between the two was largely unbalanced within its towns and villages. Geographically, the coordination level follows a pattern that is “weak western area, strong eastern area; high southern area, low northern area.” Absolute and relative disparities in development are declining but still obvious. In the Moran Index test, Global Moran’s I is always statistically significant at the 5% level, indicating a high positive spatial correlation.
