Spatial Distribution And Tourism Utilization Potential Of Intangible Cultural Heritage Resources In Guangxi

In the face of globalization,inheriting,protecting and carrying forward Chinese traditional culture is the demand of The Times and an important measure to practice cultural confidence.As the important traditional cultures in China,the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage(ICH)has attracted the attention of the state.At the same time,with the transformation and upgrading of China’s tourism market,the touristic utilization of ICH can not only adapt to the new changes of diversified demands of tourists,but also facilitate the protection and inheritance of ICH,thus creating more long-term value.Guangxi has outstanding advantages in ICH resources and a good foundation for development.However,the research on the utilization of ICH tourism in Guangxi is still in the exploratory stage.It has become an important research direction to explore the spatial distribution characteristics of ICH in Guangxi,analyze the micro-spatial units and development strategies suitable for the development of intangible cultural heritage tourism.This research can not only provide theoretical support and reference for the development direction of ICH tourism in Guangxi,but also help promote the high-quality development of ICH tourism.This study focuses on the following three aspects: First,combined with nearest neighbor index,Gini coefficient,nuclear density and other methods,this paper analyzed the quantity and density distribution characteristics,spatial distribution types,equilibrium,overall and spatial clustering characteristics of 757 ICH resources in Guangxi.Second,taking RMP theory as the basis,the evaluation index system of ICH tourism utilization potential was constructed.This paper measured the tourism utilization potential of 14 cities and 70 count-level administrative regions in Guangxi from 10 index factors of ICH resource endowment,visible space carrier landscape and external environment of tourism development.The natural fault point method and weighted superposition method were used to make grading judgments,and four potential grade zones were classified.Third,combining the spatial distribution characteristics of ICH and regional potential differences,the corresponding ICH tourism development strategy is proposed.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)In terms of spatial pattern of ICH,the quantity and density distribution of ICH are obviously polarized in both municipal and county administrative scales.The spatial distribution of ICH is condensed,and the distribution among prefecture-level cities is obviously unbalanced.The overall distribution shows the spatial pattern of "one main core area,two high-density areas and two medium-density areas".The distribution characteristics of each type of ICH are different,with prominent regional differences.(2)In the development and utilization of ICH potential,there are obvious differences in the evaluation grades of single factor indicators in different regions;In the comprehensive evaluation classification,Nanning is the only area with strong potential;four areas belong to high potential areas;eight areas belong to medium-potential areas;the rest are belong to low potential areas,with great differences in the utilization potential of ICH.(3)Based on the evaluation results,a variety of ICH tourism development strategies are proposed from the two aspects of regional difference and regional linkage.At the same time,each region can also combine its own ICH advantages and tourism development level with other appropriate forms to develop ICH resources.
