| As an important part of the national economy,tourism plays an important role in improving China’s economic level,and scenic spots are the key part to support the development of tourism.With the in-depth implementation of the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park,the degree of cultural and tourism integration development and the regional suitability of spatial layout of scenic spots along the canal have increasingly become the key factors affecting the high-quality development of tourism on both sides of the canal.Therefore,this paper takes the core area and expansion area of the Grand Canal(Shandong section)as the research area,collects the list of class a scenic spots on the website of Shandong Provincial Culture and Tourism Department,uses big data means to climb the scenic spot data on Gaode map,and finally obtains 1788 scenic spot samples after data cleaning,deduplication and comparison.Using Arc GIS,Excel and software for data analysis and processing,using kernel density analysis method,nearest neighbor index,geographical concentration index and other methods to analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of scenic spots in the study area,using the combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to study the influencing factors,analyze the existing problems,and finally get the suggestions on spatial structure optimization.The following conclusions are drawn:(1)The tourist attractions in the expansion area of the Grand Canal(Shandong section)are spatially cohesive,spatially uneven,and centrally distributed along the Grand Canal.Scenic spots are mainly distributed in Rencheng District of Jining City,Daiyue district of Tai’an City,Xuecheng District,Shizhong District and Tengzhou City of Zaozhuang City,Dongchangfu District of Liaocheng City and Decheng District of Dezhou City.Except Daiyue district of Tai’an City and Shizhong District of Zaozhuang City,the rest are within the core area of the Grand Canal.The spatial structure of "multi-core and large area" is formed between the expansion areas.The north section of the canal presents the characteristics of multi-core centralized distribution,and the south section of the canal takes the high-density gathering area as the core to form the distribution characteristics of concentrated and contiguous scenic spots.(2)The types of scenic spots are divided into six categories and 22 types,focusing on the distribution characteristics of comprehensive attraction,natural landscape,cultural landscape,natural landscape,modern entertainment,rural pastoral and other attractions.According to the research,the cultural landscape is the main scenic spot type,and there is a large gap with other scenic spots.According to the number,the other scenic spots are comprehensive attraction,natural landscape,modern entertainment,rural and pastoral,and the number of other attraction categories is the least.Cultural landscape,comprehensive attraction,rural pastoral and modern entertainment are most concentrated in Jining City,while natural landscape and other attraction are most concentrated in Tai’an City.(3)Landform,traffic conditions,tourism policy and history and culture are the main factors affecting the spatial distribution of the scenic spots of the Grand Canal(Shandong section).From the perspective of landform,more than 90% of the scenic spots are distributed in the plains with an altitude of less than 200 meters,and only 1.29% of the scenic spots are distributed in the areas with an altitude of more than 500 meters.Landform plays an extremely important role in the spatial layout of scenic spots;The distribution of scenic spots is highly dependent on traffic trunk lines.43.06% of scenic spots are distributed within 1km of roads.Among all types of roads,the number of scenic spots near provincial roads is the largest.On the whole,the scenic spots show the characteristics of gathering along the traffic network and distribution along the traffic trunk lines;Tourism related policy planning plays a guiding role in the spatial distribution of scenic spots and the future development direction of scenic spots;The scenic spots in the study area are mainly cultural landscapes,which is inseparable from the profound historical and cultural resources along the canal.History and culture are an important support for the development of scenic spots.(4)In view of the unbalanced development of scenic spots in various cities,the unreasonable distribution of various types of scenic spots and the imperfect planning of traffic network,and combined with the development situation of areas along the canal,this paper puts forward corresponding countermeasures: first,take the Grand Canal as the axis to build a natural and cultural double corridor;Second,strengthen infrastructure construction,improve the water,land and air transportation network,and improve the internal transportation routes of the scenic spot;Third,give play to the cluster effect of the Grand Canal and enhance the radiation of the canal to the main scenic spots along the line;Fourth,for different types of scenic spots,especially class a scenic spots,enhance the attraction of core scenic spots. |
