The Spatial Structure And Optimization Of Tourist Routes In Liaoning Province

As one of the important objects of tourism geography research,tourist routes have received extensive attention from scholars at home and abroad,and related research results are rich.Existing research mainly focuses on the design and development of tourism routes,the spatial structure model of tourism routes,marketing of tourism routes,etc.However,there are few studies on the spatial structure characteristics of tourism routes.Liaoning Province is the only coastal provincial administrative region in the Northeast,with rich tourism resources and diverse types.In recent years,Liaoning Province has devoted itself to developing into a strong tourism economy province,which requires gathering the strength of the province's tourism development.The tourist route is an important connecting line that communicates the province's tourism development and is of great significance to the overall development of the province's tourism.Therefore,it is necessary to carry out research on the spatial structure characteristics of Liaoning tourism route network.On the one hand,it can promote the construction of the province's strong tourism economy,on the other hand,it can optimize the design and planning of tourist routes and improve the spatial structure of the province's tourist routes.This paper obtains the initial data needed for the research from the travel agency,uses Ucinet6.0 software and Arc GIS spatial analysis tools,and uses the social network analysis method to construct the spatial structure of the tourism route network in Liaoning Province.Analyze the spatial structure of tourism routes in Liaoning Province from two aspects: network node structure and overall network structure;Compare and analyze the spatial structure of the tourist route network at different travel durations;Finally,discuss the influencing factors of the spatial structure of tourism routes in Liaoning Province,and the spatial structure of tourism routes in Liaoning Province is optimized and analyzed.The research results are as follows:(1)The overall network density in the tourism route network of Liaoning Province is high,and the links between the tourism nodes are relatively close.Central trend analysis shows that the overall network structure of tourism routes in Liaoning Province has no obvious high concentration trend,and the network structure has a certain balance.(2)The spatial structure of tourist routes in Liaoning Province has an obvious core-edge structure.The core area nodes are Shenyang,Dalian,Anshan,Fushun,Benxi,Dandong and Panjin.The nodes in the fringe areas are Jinzhou,Yingkou,Fuxin,Liaoyang,Tieling,Chaoyang and Huludao.The tourism nodes in the core area are closely connected,and the strength of the tourism route is strong.The tourism nodes in the fringe areas are not tightly connected.(3)There are large gaps between the centrality of each tourist node,structural holes and other indicators.Tourism nodes are roughly divided into four categories,Shenyang and Dalian are core tourism nodes,Fushun,Benxi,Dandong and Panjin are important tourism nodes,and Anshan,Jinzhou and Huludao are general tourism nodes.Chaoyang,Tieling,and Fuxin are border tourism nodes.(4)Study on the overall network density of the spatial structure of the tourism route network with different tourism durations in Liaoning Province,as the tourist time increases,the overall network density of tourist routes in Liaoning Province gradually decreases.The overall network density of one-day tour routes is the largest,and the most tourist nodes are involved in the network structure of the tourist routes,and the connections between the tourist nodes are the closest.(5)The spatial structure of tourist routes with different durations in Liaoning Province also has an obvious core-edge structure.With the increase of travel time,the number of nodes in the core area gradually decreases,and the number of nodes in the edge area gradually increases.(6)Contrastive Analysis of the Spatial Network Node Structure of Tour Routes with Different Duration in Liaoning.As the travel time increases,each travel node has different roles in the spatial structure of the travel route.Shenyang,Fushun and Benxi have shown important agglomeration and diffusion in the spatial structure of the one-day tour route.At the same time,Shenyang and Fushun also play an important role in transit,and Benxi shows a general transit destination.Dalian and Dandong show important agglomeration,diffusion,and transit functions in the spatial structure of the two-day tour route.In addition,Dalian has also shown the primary agglomeration,diffusion and transit role in the spatial structure of three-day tours and above.(7)The formation of the spatial structure of tourism routes in Liaoning Province is related to factors such as regional tourism infrastructure,tourism resources,traffic conditions,time distance,economic distance,and spatial distance.
