基于核心—边缘理论的江苏省入境旅游空间结构研究

Study on the Spatial Structure of Inbound Tourism in Jiangsu Province Based on Core-Periphery Theory

核心—边缘理论模型是用于分析区域发展水平空间结构差异和演变方式的一种理论。目前的研究只涉及运用核心边缘理论对旅游景区的经济不平等关系进行定性研究,而就入境旅游空间结构的变化及其形成机理的研究很少涉及。本文以江苏省为例,基于2005～2010年入境旅游人数数据,研究江苏省入境旅游空间结构的变化及其影响机理,得出结论:(一)基于首位分布和位序规模法则能很好揭示江苏省入境旅游空间结构的特征及形成机理,将有利于核心边缘理论模型的应用和促进定量和定性方法的结合,拓展研究方法;(二)研究结果显示江苏省城市核心边缘空间结构发育典型,核心城市—苏州首位分布显著,空间格局的演变以聚集形为主,但扩散作用也在不断地加强;(三)经相关分析,影响核心边缘结构形成的主要因素有资源禀赋度、经济发展因素、城市规模和城市化水平、交通可达性、国际交往程度、旅游接待能力。本文运用核心—边缘理论进行定量研究,不仅拓展了该理论在旅游学上的应用,也丰富了其研究方法。

Core-periphery model is used as a theory to analyze the spatial discrepancy of regional development and evolvement pattern of regional economic structure. Previous empirical reseaches in the tourism field have mainly focused on the economic inequality between the core and periphery in tourism regions, but rarely on the evolvement and mechanism of the spatial structure of inbound tourism. This paper analyzes the evolvement and effect of the spatial structure of Jiangsu inbound tourism, based on the data from 2005 to 2010. It concludes： first, primary city distribution and rank-size distribution suggest that the spatial structure of Jiangsu inbound tourism be a typical core-periphery structure; second, the inbound tourism development of Suzhou City in Jiangsu Province is at a dominant position while other cities are periphery; finally, resource endowment, economic development, urban size and urbanization, transportation, foreign relations, tourism reception ability are the important factors related to this core-periphery structure by correlation analysis.
