Abstract: Based on the guidance of the concept of production life ecology,this paper investigated the spatial variation of the production lift ecology competitiveness in urban tourism for 29 cities in the five provinces in northwest China.First,it established a set of urban production life ecotourism competitiveness models,followed by the use of the ESDA method to calculate the spatial agglomeration degree and the natural disjunction points for the classification clusters which basically demonstrated the spatial pattern.The correlation analysis and AHP empowerment are used further to dissect the influencing factors.The results show that the overall competitiveness of the production life ecology in tourism of the sample cities is weak,the spatial distribution is discrete,and the local area aggregation effect is low.The domestic tourist consumption,the number of public toilets and the precipitation are the leading factors of the production life ecology competitiveness in urban tourism.The 29 cities can be divided into 3 categories based on empirical results: the production oriented type,life oriented type,and ecotype.The formation of 4 production life ecology tourism circles in the 5 provinces in northwestern China based on the division will provide new cooperation mechanisms for regional tourism development.

Key words: five provinces in northwestern China, urban tourism competitiveness, spatial differentiation, “productionlifeecology” tourism circle
