| Intangible cultural heritage is the essence of a national traditional cultural event and an important link to maintain national feelings.But with the development of modern society,many intangible cultural heritage are forced to be interrupted due to their own limitations.Therefore,it is particularly important to break through the difficulties,scientifically understand the development characteristics of intangible cultural heritage,and explore effective ways to protect it.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage,and China’s intangible cultural heritage protection has entered a new stage of systematic protection.At the same time,with the improvement of people’s living standards,cultural tourism has become an important tourism consumption demand for the public.Promoting the deep integration of intangible cultural heritage and tourism is of great significance for the systematic protection of intangible cultural heritage and the promotion of high-quality development of the tourism industry.The Huai River Basin,as an important birthplace of Chinese civilization,has abundant intangible cultural heritage tourism resources.Therefore,in the context of intangible cultural heritage gradually becoming an important resource for local economic and cultural development,and with strong government support,conducting research on the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the Huaihe River is of great significance.This study used a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis to explore the distribution characteristics of 1189 national and provincial intangible cultural heritage projects in the Huai River Basin in terms of time and space,as well as the tourism development status of intangible cultural heritage resources in the Huai River Basin.Firstly,based on the classification and statistics of intangible cultural heritage project data in the Huaihe River Basin,spatial statistical methods such as standard deviation ellipse and kernel density analysis are used to analyze the type structure,diachronic evolution,and spatial distribution characteristics of intangible cultural heritage in the Huaihe River Basin.Research has found that the distribution of intangible cultural heritage projects in the Huaihe River Basin is imbalanced among categories,and the proportion of national level projects is not high;There are obvious spatial dynamic changes in each historical stage.The locus of the intangible cultural heritage center is northwest southeast northwest,and it has shifted to the southeast as a whole,which is basically consistent with the social history development of the Huaihe River region;In terms of spatial distribution,the uneven characteristics are obvious,presenting a spatial pattern of "one cluster with multiple cores".In the border area between Jiangsu,Shandong,Henan,and Anhui provinces,the distribution of intangible cultural heritage is relatively concentrated,forming a high-density core cluster.Secondly,through investigation and data statistics,two evaluation index systems were constructed for the occurrence of intangible cultural heritage resources and the comprehensive level of tourism development.Based on the collected data and calculation results,the coupling coordination degree between the occurrence of intangible cultural heritage resources and the comprehensive level of tourism development in the Huaihe River Basin was calculated.The results indicate that the overall coupling between the occurrence of intangible cultural heritage resources and the level of tourism development in various cities in the Huai River Basin is relatively high.The Huai River Basin has a good foundation for the integration of intangible cultural heritage inheritance and tourism development.Finally,based on the deep integration of culture and tourism,the driving factors for the integration of intangible cultural heritage projects in the Huai River Basin with the tourism industry are summarized,and corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed based on the previous research.Figure[10] Table[9] Reference[85]... |
