Abstract: To solve the problems of low recall rate, high relative error rate of weight calculation and low accuracy in traditional methods for evaluating influencing factors, this study proposes an evaluation method of rural ecotourism resource development potential based on an entropy-weighted TOPSIS model. The spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of rural ecological tourism resources are determined, and an indicator system for evaluation is built. The weights of the indicators are determined using the entropy weighting method, and an entropy-weighted TOPSIS model is built. The evaluation indicator data such as agricultural landscapes, economic conditions, and ecological conditions are input into the model, and the evaluation results are obtained relevant results. Experimental results show that the recall rate of the proposed method reaches a maximum of 98.71%, the average relative error rate of the indicator weight calculation is 3.15%, and the accuracy is above 88.2%.
