| With the knowledge economy era coming, the economy faces a trend of globalization and integration. As a new industry, exhibition industry becomes the national economy’s new growth point of many developed countries. Underling the drive of the Beijing Olympic Games, the world expo in Shanghai, the west lake expo and other large-scale exhibition activities, the scale of exhibition industry in our country expands unceasingly, the economic benefit is rising year by year, the average annual growth rate is almost20%which presenting the development trend of rising steadily. Nowadays the exhibition industry has gradually developed into the new bright spot In the process of China’s social and economic development. However, there are many problems such as industrial clusters, spatial layout continuously emerging. The lack of reasonable planning and the situation of blind development results in exhibition industry, throughout various regions, are not attractive enough as well as economic driving force insufficient. In consequence, it is heavily significant to study the space-layout characteristics of modern exhibition industry and its influencing factors, which can optimize the structure of exhibition industry in China and promote economic efficiency.Given that exhibition is involved with the characteristics of spatial displacement, length of the course, etc, this article studies the spatial agglomeration and temporal distinction of China’s exhibition industry from the space-time perspective. Then the data related to the exhibition on the "E show" such as the number, stadium, area and type, is collected and counted. And so, the temporal and spatial characteristics of the regional exhibition are analyzed with the method of the congregation degree, stein peak index&saturation curve and entropy based on the software of SPSS17.0and ARCGIS. The results showed that exhibition nationwide existed unbalanced development with respect to regional, seasonal and typological agglomeration. And that, it is related to the level of economic development, the situation of venue construction, the trait of seasonal regional climate and the attributes of exhibition product.Through the empirical study, this paper draws the following conclusion:1. when an area has a solid market foundation for industry and consumption, the number of pavilion and its area will be important factors that restrict the development of exhibition economy.2. Regional exhibition hosts more in spring and autumn but less in winter where the percentage of it is gradually increasing from north to south. Besides, the celebration of the exhibition is related to the regional climate, temperature and natural environment. The factors, such as holiday arrangements and many enterprises’trend to proceeding annual sales activities after the Spring Festival, have certain impact on the number of exhibition per month.3. The concentration comes out in a certain area of exhibition, mainly concentrated in east, north, south and southwest China, but the agglomeration degree isn’t prominent.4. The above four areas are centered on Shanghai, Beijing, Guangdong and Sichuan respectively, and the agglomerative spatial-distributional phenomenon that spreading to the edge of provinces and cities has appeared.5. It is important influencing factors that transportation cost, exhibitors’ needs and motivation and products produced by the external economies of scale effect need to consider while the selection of exhibition theme. According to these factors, several suggestions related to venue construction, regional cooperation and the integrative development of exhibition and tourism.There are five chapters in this text. Chapter1mainly introduces the research background, significance and the content of this article. And then the major method and technical route put forward and the possible innovation is analyzed. Chapter2summarizes the exhibition literature at home and abroad and introduces the main research direction and achievements of current exhibition industry. The fundamental theory such as related concepts of exhibition, related theory of temporal-spatial distribution, is elaborated in this article. Chapter3offers specific details on where the empirical research comes from and how to choose the sample data. Chapter4analyzes the exhibition data of eight regions based on exhibition temporal-spatial theory using the SPSS software. After that the characteristics of the temporal-spatial distribution of Chinese exhibition layout and its main influencing factors are discussed and summarized. Chapter5, based on the above discussed and combined the temporal-spatial factors, put forward countermeasures in favor of optimizing the future exhibition layout of China. Lastly, the shortcomings of this article are summarized and its next research area is expected. |
