基于地理标记照片的游客空间分布特征研究——以海南省为例

A Study of the Spatial Distribution of Tourists based on Geotagged Photos——Case of Hainan Province

地理标记照片的出现为旅游研究提供了广泛的数据资源,近年来越来越多的学者采用该方法分析城市、景区内部游客空间分布及其变化特征,但目前研究尚缺乏对于宏观空间尺度(如省)案例地的案例研究。采用从Flicker网站搜集到2005年7月至2015年6月期间游客在海南拍摄的7 942张照片,运用核密度分析方法探索海南省游客空间分布特征,研究结果与目前海南旅游现状及前人的研究结果表现为高度的一致性。研究认为,基于地理标记照片的方法对宏观空间尺度案例地进行研究具有一定的可行性。

Geotagged photos provide lots of data resources to tourism research.More and more researchers use it to analyze spatial characteristics of tourists in cities or scenic spots.However,there are few researches on the case of macro space,such as province.In this paper,we retrieved 7942 photos from Flicker,which had been taken in Hainan by tourists during July 2005 to June 2015,and took the method kernel density analysis to analyze the spatial distribution of tourists in Hainan Province.The results are the same with the actual situation of tourism of Hainan and predecessors＇ research results.It is feasible to apply the method of geotagged photos to researches based on macro space.
