Abstract: Abstract Water conservancy project leads to the reorganization of the economic and social structure of resettled communities. As an important extension of the water conservancy project, water conservancy project tourism brings livelihood compensation to the surrounding residents, thereby improving the adaptability of nearby-resettled people. Therefore, a study on the impact of water conservancy project tourism on the adaptability of nearby-resettled people will help to reasonably resettle and promote the development of water conservancy project tourism. This paper constructed four influence dimensions "Economy—Industrial development—Social harmony—Quality-of-life" of water conservancy project tourism. The Structural Equation Model (SEM) was introduced to explore the impact of water conservancy project tourism on the adaptability of nearby-resettled people, which took the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project tourism area and the resettled gathering areas—San Douping Town and Tai Pingxi Town as the research objects. The results showed that: (1) The economic benefits generated in the process of water conservancy projects tourism development that affected the adaptability of nearby-resettled people by promoting industrial development, and the quality of life of resettled people was an important intermediary factor affecting adaptability; (2) In the path relationship of the water conservancy project tourism adaptability factors to nearby-resettled areas, industrial development had the largest impact on social harmony and the standardized path coefficient was significantly 0.95; (3) The economic benefits generated by water conservancy project tourism and industrial development change the adaptability of nearby-resettled areas through their perception of the quality of life. This study can provide some suggestions for the reconstruction of the relationship between the water conservancy project tourism communities and the improvement of the adaptability of nearby-resettled areas.
