It is widely believed that tourism resource development has a positive influence on urban development, and tourism urbanization is a focus in the study of tourism geography. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between lake tourism resource development and urbanization, stage characteristics of lake tourism urbanization, resource development patterns as wel as the spatial coupling modes. It holds that lake resources have a periodical efect on urban development, and the current efect of lake tourism urbanization is remarkable. In fact, the lake tourism urbanization of China can be divided into three stages, namely the budding stage (before the1990s), the early development stage (from the 1990s to the 2000s) and the deepening development stage (since the 2000s). Meanwhile, the three diferent stages have many diferences with each other in lake tourism products, tourism market structures, the industrial structures of the lake district and the functions of tourism destinations. The resource development of lake tourism urbanization can be various, such as Tourist Scenic Area, Tourist Resorts, Urban Waterfront, Wetland Park, Water Sports Base and Comprehensive Development. As to the spatial coupling modes of lake tourism urbanization, there can be four kinds: Bead Chain-type, poached Eggs-type, Staggered -type as wel as Disconnection-type. The combination of the resources exploitation modes and the spatial coupling modes make the lake tourism urbanization show diferent characteristics.%湖泊旅游资源开发对于城镇发展具有积极作用。分析了湖泊资源旅游开发与城镇发展之间的关系，湖泊旅游城镇化阶段性特征、开发模式以及空间耦合模式。结论认为，湖泊资源对于城镇发展的作用显著，两者之间的关系可划分为三个阶段：萌芽阶段（1990年之前）、初期发展阶段（1990年-2000年）、深化发展阶段（2000年至今），分别在湖泊旅游产品、旅游市场结构、湖区产业结构、旅游地功能等方面存在较大差别。湖泊资源旅游开发模式包括旅游风景区、旅游度假区、城市滨水区、湿地公园、水上运动基地和综合开发模式六种，空间耦合模式包括链珠式、荷包蛋式、交错式、分离式，两种模式的交叉组合导致湖泊旅游城镇发展体现出不同的特点。
