| Optimizing regional sports tourism space is of great significance for the development of sports tourism.It can lay out regional sports tourism functions,positioning the development mode of sports tourism,improve the performance of sports tourism industry development,assist National Fitness and National Leisure,and realize the strategy of Healthy China.This present study uses the methods of literature review,the methods of mathematical statistics,and GIS spatial analysis.The research objects of the study are spatial factors of sports tourism in Shandong Province from 2009 to 2018.This dissertation’s main content includes four aspects.First,it clarifies the actuality of sports tourism development and distribution of spatial factors in Shandong Province.Second,it sorts out the characteristics and models of spatio-temporal evolution of sports tourism factors in Shandong Province.Third,it analyses which affecting factors cause the spatio-temporal evolution of sports tourism spatial factors in Shandong Province.Forth,it discusses the development strategies of sports tourism in Shandong Province.The series of analyses in this study aims to provide a reasonable theoretical reference for enriching the content of sports tourism research in Shandong and promote the development of sports tourism theory.The spatial layout of sports tourism can balance the seasonal unevenness of sports tourism in Shandong Province,and create a boutique sports tourism brand.These functions of the layout will promote the development of All-AreaAdvancing sports tourism in Shandong Province.Research indicates:1.Sports tourism space is the spatial expression form of sports tourism activities in tourist destinations,and it is the spatial projection of the scale and mode of development of sports tourism.As a series of sports tourism carrier,sports tourism space includes sports tourism scenic spots,attractions,venues and facilities,which can provide related services for sports tourists and meet the needs of sports tourism.2.There are advantages and disadvantages,opportunities and challenges in the development of sports tourism in Shandong Province.Financial strength,tourism resources,sports atmosphere and cultural heritage are strengths.Significant differences during the off-peak season,monotonous kinds of sports tourism productions,incomplete transportation system are the weaknesses.Policy bonuses and demand from the masses are opportunities.Competition in market resources or alternative industries and lack of professional talents are threatens.3.This research divides the evolution of sports tourism space in Shandong Province into four stages.Including the initial stage(2009-2010),steady growth stage(2011-2012),spanning growth stage(2013-2014),innovation development stage(2015-2018).4.The spatial distribution of sports tourism in Shandong Province has gradually developed from a small distribution range,a small number of new additions,and large regional differences in the initial stage.Now the characteristics of the spatial distribution become large range,and a number of new additions and various types of sports tourism spatial factors are widely distributed in the whole province.5.The spatio-temporal evolution model of sports tourism conforms to the classic spatial theories.Besides,the center of gravity of the sports tourism space in Shandong Province is located in Weifang at all stages,and the movement trajectory is in the shape of the Chinese word “one”.6.The main factors affecting the spatio-temporal evolution of sports tourism in Shandong Province are government policies,economic levels,conditions of transportation,levels of tourism development and sports culture.7.Shandong Province Government should pay attention to the “Multi-Gauge Unification”planning system,and construct a sports tourism space layout of “two cores,three districts,and multi-circles”.Speed up the implementation of policies to solve the problems of chaotic market order effectively,imperfect systems and mechanisms,and insufficient effective supply.Create a smart sports tourism system to improve the service quality and scientific research capabilities of sports tourism in Shandong Province.Improve public sports literacy and cultivate sports tourism awareness of the public. |
