| Intangible cultural heritage is the historical witness of the inheritance of Chinese civilization and the significant bond of the national emotionorce.However,with the development of modern society,many intangible cultural heritage are forced to be interrupted due to their own restrictions.Therefore,how to break through the predicament,scientifically understand the development characteristics of intangible cultural heritage and explore effective ways to protect intangible cultural heritage is particularly important.Since the 18 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC),the state has attached great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage and clearly pointed out that we should innovate the inheritance mode of intangible cultural heritagec.Tourism,as an important way to innovate the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage,has gradually become the focus of attention since the integrated development of culture and tourism was proposed by the government in 2009.The unique geographical location and long history and culture of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region jointly create its rich and colorful intangible cultural heritage and lay a good resource foundation for developing intangible cultural heritage tourism.In recent years,intangible cultural heritage tourism in Inner Mongolia has made some achievements,but it’s still not satisfactory.For example,there are some problems in the integration of intangible cultural heritage and tourism,such as insufficient innovation and relatively primary development and utilization methods.Based on the perspective of spatial differentiation and taking Inner Mongolia as a case,this study analyzes the type structure and spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of Inner Mongolia intangible cultural heritage resources by using location entropy,resource dominance and spatial statistical methods such as average nearest neighbor,kernel density estimation,elliptic standard difference,and then obtains the overall situation of intangible resources in Inner Mongolia.Coupling coordination degree model is used to measure the integration level of intangible cultural heritage resources and tourism development in various cities of Inner Mongolia,and summarize the types of integrated development of intangible cultural heritage and tourism.Exploring the driving factors and strategies of the integration and development of intangible cultural heritage and tourism in Inner Mongolia.The results are as follows: Inner Mongolia has various types of intangible cultural heritage and strong spatial agglomeration,which is composed of a high-density core circle and four high-aggregation areas.The integrated development level of intangible cultural heritage resources and tourism in Inner Mongolia is good as a whole,but the development among regions is unbalanced,and the overall distribution is two cores and two regions.According to tourism relative priority model,the region is divided into high integration synchronous development category,high integration differential development category,low integration synchronous development category and low integration differential development category.The integrated development of intangible cultural heritage and tourism in Inner Mongolia is driven by both internal and external factors.The intangible cultural heritage of different types of regions should be developed by differentiated gradient,so as to promote the effective integrated development of intangible cultural heritage and tourism in Inner Mongolia in a scientific and reasonable way. |
