The Spatial Differences and Influencing Factors of Tourism Resources in Ningxia,China

宁夏旅游资源的空间差异及其影响因素

The analysis of the spatial distribution of tourism resources and the identification of its influencing factors are crucial for supporting the sustainable development of regional tourism.This study established a comprehensive database of tourism resources in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region(Ningxia)through a combination of literature review and field research.It examined the quantitative,qualitative,and categorical characteristics of tourism resources in Ningxia,and determined the spatial patterns based on kernel density and spatial association analysis.This study also comprehensively evaluated the societal,economic,and environmental factors influencing the spatial distribution of tourism resources in the entire region by employing the geographical detector model to quantify the influence of each factor.The following results were obtained.(1)There were 29218 individual tourism resources in Ningxia,comprising eight main types,23 subtypes,and 105 fundamental types,and they exhibit a hierarchical pyramidal structure.(2)The tourism resources in Ningxia displayed characteristics of“widespread regional dispersion and limited regional agglomeration”.The spatial distribution of tourism resources was highly imbalanced,and most types of tourism resources exhibit strong positive spatial correlation.(3)The altitude,annual precipitation,population density,distance from urban centers,urbanization rate,and per capita GDP were identified as significant factors influencing the spatial distribution of tourism resources in Ningxia.Based on the results,we recommend that the government should formulate tourism development policies in Ningxia based on local conditions to effectively address the spatial imbalances,enhance the sustainability of tourism development,and continue to promote high-quality tourism development in Ningxia.

旅游资源空间格局刻画及其影响因素识别可为区域旅游业可持续发展提供科学支撑。通过文献资料整编与实地调研,本文构建了宁夏回族自治区旅游资源数据库,从数量、类型与质量三方面分析了宁夏旅游资源的数理特征,综合运用核密度分析和空间自相关等研究方法刻画了宁夏旅游资源空间格局。从社会、经济和环境角度,本文全面梳理了全区旅游资源空间格局的影响因素,并运用地理探测器模型定量测度了各因素影响力的大小。结果表明:(1)宁夏全区共涉及29218个旅游资源单体,涵盖8个主类、23个亚类和105个基本类型,资源等级结构呈金字塔型;(2)宁夏回族自治区旅游资源在空间上呈现“大区域分散,小区域集聚”的特征,旅游资源空间分布失衡现象严重,不同类型旅游资源均具有较强的空间正相关关系。(3)海拔、年降水量、人口密度、距市中心距离、城镇化率与人均GDP等是影响宁夏旅游资源空间格局差异的重要因素。建议政府因地制宜制定宁夏旅游发展政策,有效降低旅游开发的盲目性和不适配性,提高旅游的可持续发展能力,持续推动宁夏旅游业高质量发展。
