中国古镇型旅游地空间分布研究

古镇是中国物质文化和精神文化的重要载体，也是发展古镇旅游的物质基础。近年来，古镇研究受到学界高度重视，但涉及古镇型旅游地空间分布的研究却鲜有所见。运用ArcGIS9．3分析软件、不平衡指数和地理集中指数，分析中国古镇型旅游地的整体分布特征及其在东、中、西部的区域分布特征。研究表明：中国古镇型旅游地整体分布不均衡，主要集中在东部和西部地区。区域内部分布也不均衡，东部地区主要集中在浙江、江苏两省；西部地区主要集中在贵州、四川、云南3省；中部地区主要集中在安徽省。影响其空间分布的因素主要是旅游资源禀赋、区位条件、区域经济发展水平、交通可达性和文化发展脉络。

RESEARCH ON THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF ANCIENT TOWNS IN CHINA

Ancient towns were not only important carieers of our country’s materia culture and spiritual culture,but also were the material basis of ancient town tourism development.In recent years,scholars had paied high attention to the research of the ancient towns,but there were few research on the spatial distribution of the ancient towns.Using ArcGIS 9.3 analysis software,the unbalance index and the geographic concentration index to analysis the overall distribution characteristic of the ancient towns in China and their regional distribution characteristics in eastern,central and western China.Results showed that the overall distribution was concentrating,mainly in eastern and western China.And the regional distributions were aslo in unbalance,in eastern China,the ancient towns concentrated mainly in zhejiang,Jiangsu provinces,in western China,mainly in Guizhou,Sichuan and Yunnan provinces,and in central China,mainly in Anhui province.Factors affecting the spatial distribution of the ancient towns in China mainly relied in the tourist resources endowment,location,the regional economic development level,traffic accessibility and culture.
