Tourism Spatial Structure Evolution Of Capital Region Based On High-speed Railway

Beijing-Tianjin inter-city HSR, the Beijing-shanghai HSR, Beijing-Shijiazhuang HSR and Beijing-Qinhuangdao inter-city HSR have opened gradually in the Capital region since 2008. "co-urbanization" of the Capital region will be realized until all the inter-city traffic trunk line completed before 2030. The HSR is the key factor to influence the development of regional tourism spatial pattern. As we all know the high-speed rail can greatly shorten the travel time and improve each city’s accessibility. Transportation network system has significant effect on the optimization of spatial structure of urban agglomeration.This paper mainly studies the evolution of the regional tourism spatial structure of the Capital Region of China under the influence of high speed railway. The main problems need to solve are as follows:(1) What are the main contents of the regional tourism spatial structure, and whether the HSR play an import role in the evolution of the regional tourism spatial structure? (2) What the changes of regional spatial structure in the Capital Region under the influence of HSR? (3) What the condition of tourism spatical structure of the Capital Region in future under the influence of HSR? Using urban primacy index, rank-size rule and ArcGIS spatial analysis, we analyze the change of regional spatial structure Capital Region of China from 2005-2014. Then, the paper Forecast the future development trend of the future tourism spatial structure of Beijing, Tianjin and Beijing, Tianjin, Beijing, Tianjin and the future development of tourism in Beijing, Tianjin and reasonable suggestionsThe results are as following:Firstly, the paper verifies the effect of HSR on the development of regional tourism spatial structure in the Capital Region of China. HSR influenced the tourism spatial structure by the "spatial and temporal compression". By comprehensively evaluating several index, it shows that the great changes are consistent with the opening time of high-speed rail.Secondly, the stages of evolution of tourism spatial structure in the Capital Region during the ten years as follows:the single core gathering stage (2005-2007), the core agglomeration and the overall stable diffusion stage (2008-2011), the accelerated diffusion stage (2012-2014).Thirdly, the evolution trend of regional tourism spatial structure in the Capital Region be forecasted. According to the change of regional tourism spatial structure under the influence of HSR from 2005 to 2014, the regional tourism spatial structure is predicted to be strengthened, and the gap between the core area and the edge area is reduced. Besides, the pattern of development of Beijing and Tianjin dual core linkage is more effective.
