In recent years,the accelerating process of urbanization and the implementation of various regional development policies have made great progress in China's economic development and made significant contributions to balancing the development of the eastern,central and western regions of China.In this context,the characteristics and evolution of the spatial distribution pattern of regional economic activities,the inter-regional correlations,and spatial spillover effects have become one of the major topics for scholars.The economic ties between the tourism activities of the various regions in Xinjiang have become increasingly closer.The interactions and influences among the regions have become increasingly apparent.However,the problem of spatial heterogeneity has become prominent,and a harmonious development environment has not yet formed within the region,where unity and coordination develop and regional external cooperation and competition take place.Therefore,it is very necessary to explore the individual characteristics and overall characteristics of the spatial association network of regional economic growth in Xinjiang,reveal the different individual functions and roles of the network,and identify the main influencing factors of spatial association network formation.This paper uses vector autoregression(VAR),software Eviews,Ucinet6.0methods to explore the spatial correlation of tourism economic growth in various prefectures in Xinjiang from 1995 to 2015 and build spatial association networks for tourism economic growth;borrowing from social network analysis methods,The individual and overall characteristics of spatial association networks of tourism economic growth in Xinjiang are described;QAP analysis methods are used to explore the main influencing factors of spatial association network formation.found in study:(1)The spatial correlation of regional tourism economic growth in Xinjiang is universal.There may be 210(15×14)relationships among the 15 prefectures in Xinjiang.After the Granger causality test,it is confirmed by the 5% significance leveltest.The number of actually existing associations is 61,accounting for 29% of the maximum possible number of relations.The matrix is visualized by Netdraw and it is found that there is at least one relationship between the two states in the state.(2)According to the results of the central analysis in the social network analysis method,it can be known that the spatial association of regional tourism economic growth in Xinjiang presents a certain “gradient” feature: there are more prefectures than prefectures in northern prefectures,and northern prefectures more than southern prefectures.The main reason for this is that Urumqi is the capital of the Xinjiang region.It occupies natural policy advantages,human resources,transportation advantages,etc.,relying on its own strength and acting as a diffusion function in Xinjiang,and is known as the engine of Xinjiang.Karamay,Bazhou,etc.,are close to the center,and they are far from the center point of the network.The role of the main actors in the border areas in Xinjiang is often accepted by other states in the spatial network of tourism economic growth.The input is subject to other states in the growth of tourism economy.(3)In this paper,the density of the regional spatial network of tourism economic growth in Xinjiang is calculated to be 0.29,indicating that the tourism economic growth between the states of Dizhou and Dianzhou is not closely related,and its degree of correlation needs to be improved.The network efficiency is 0.5385.According to the data,the connection between the prefectures and prefectures in the Xinjiang region is relatively stable,and the robustness of the formed spatial association network is trustworthy.(4)Through block model analysis,Xinjiang's regional tourism economic growth is divided into four tourism economic growth modules,two of which are the first-person segments,mainly Kashi,Hami,Bazhou,and Kezhou,and other economically backward states;The other two plates are the isolate position block and the broker position block,which belong to the prefectures of economic development.The specific transmission mechanism is the isolater position plate,and the broker position plate transfers to the first position position plate 1,2.(5)The use of QAP correlation analysis and regression analysis to determine thegeographical location,tourism resource taste,regional economic development level,industrial structure and tourism traffic accessibility of these five factors is the main factor affecting the formation of Xinjiang spatial association network,can Explain32% of the characteristics of individual networks and overall networks in Xinjiang.(6)Combine the individual network characteristics of Xinjiang spatial associations,the role positioning of 15 prefectures,the spillover and transmission mechanisms of the four major sectors,and the influencing factors of the formation of spatial networks,and so on to put forward relevant recommendations,which will help realize the interregional synergies and promote Xinjiang.Regional coordination and development. |
