江西旅游规模差异及其位序规模体系分析

Disparity of Tourism Scale in Jiangxi and An Analysis of Its System for Rank-size Distribution

文章从经济地理学的角度出发,运用区域经济发展差异的相关指标,对江西省11个市(1997-2006年)国内、国际旅游收入进行分析。研究发现,江西省各市的国内、国际旅游经济相对差异的变化都呈下降趋势;但绝对差异的变化有所不同,国内绝对差异不断扩大,国际绝对差异表现不明显。为进一步揭示引起这种差异的原因,借用位序—规模分布理论研究该省的旅游规模规律,发现江西省各城市的国内、国际旅游规模符合位序规模分布,国内旅游规模由集中向分散均衡转变,国际旅游规模呈首位分布发展,但有集中发展的趋势。此外从影响江西旅游差异和规模的因素出发,提出了江西省各城市今后的旅游发展政策性参考意见。

The paper, starting from the perspective of economic geography, makes an analysis of tourism revenue from domestic and international tourism in ll cities of Jiangxi Province from 1997 to 2006 by using some indexes of different regional economic development. The result finds a declining trend in terms of the changes of relative difference in domestic and international tourism among cities in Jiangxi province. However, the change of absolute difference is somewhat different from constant expansion in domestic tourism and slight absolute difference in international tourism. In order to further unveil the real reasons for such differences, the paper makes use of the theory of rank-scale distribution and studies the regularity of tourism scale in different cities of Jiangxi Province. The study finds that the scale of domestic and international tourism is in line with the trend of the scale of rank-size distribution. The scale of domestic tourism is being transformed from centralization to scattered balance while the scale of international tourism is in the priority of development, with the trend of centralized development. Based on this, the paper analyzes the factors that influence tourism difference and scale, providing referential suggestions for subsequent tourism development in various cities of Jiangxi Province.
