五台山寺庙空间分布特征及影响因素分析

Spatial Distribution of Temples and the Influencing Factors in Mount Wutai

寺庙是佛教独有的建筑形式,是佛教文化的外在展现,是佛教信仰的生存载体.以五台山佛教寺庙为研究主体,台怀片区为研究范围,构建五台山寺庙空间分布数据库.利用空间分析软件ArcGIS对五台山寺庙的空间分布特征、形态及其影响因素进行分析,结果如下:第一,五台山寺庙的空间分布为凝聚型,且围绕区内唯一聚集区——台怀镇寺庙中心区呈向心性分布;第二,区域内的主要出入道路及朝台道路、清水河流域、居民点的分布、寺庙的建寺历史等四个因素是影响五台山寺庙空间分布的重要因素.

As a unique architectural form of Buddhism,the temple can be seen as an external expression of Buddhist culture as well as the living carrier of the Buddhist belief.Targeting at the Wutai Buddhist temples within the range of Taihuai area and to build tis spatial distribution database,this paper sets out to make an analysis of the spacial distribution features and its influential factors to establish a spacial distribution database with the assistance of the ArcGIS software.Thus the result suggests as follows：firstly,the spacial distribution of the Wutai Buddhist temples belongs to the agglomerate type,which forms centripetal distribution around the Taihuai town that is the only temple gathering center in the Taihuai area;secondly,the four main factors,which affect the space distribution of the Wutai Buddhist temples,consist of the main access roads and the pilgrimage roads of the region,Qingshui Rriver basin,the distribution of residential areas and the constructing histories of the temple.
