| With the development of China’s economy and the improvement of living conditions,the way of life and work in residents have gradually changed,the demand for nighttime activities has gradually increased,and the scale and proportion of nighttime consumption have continuously increased.The nighttime economy has become an important driving force for urban economy development.National and regional policies have been introduced to promote the development of nighttime economy.High-quality nighttime economy development has become a new focus of urban economy development and urban planning.This paper studies the nighttime economy in Wuhan from the perspective of geographical space to make up for the vacancy in the study of China’s nighttime economy.Analyze the spatial pattern of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan is of great significance for balancing the spatial layout of nighttime economy carriers,improving the service ability of nighttime economy carriers,constructing the spatial structure of nighttime economy carriers,and promoting the high-quality development of nighttime economy in Wuhan.This paper,taking Wuhan as the study area,extracting the space position of shopping,dining,leisure and entertainment,attractions,cultural experience,transportation and other nighttime economy activities,using the statistics and spatial analysis method such as average nearest neighbor index,the spatial autocorrelation,nuclear density,buffer space to analyze the spatial distribution pattern and characteristics of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan from three aspects:spatial distribution pattern,spatial agglomeration area and spatial circle layer distribution.Based on the development degree of nighttime facilities,transportation convenience,security and lighting,Wuhan nighttime economy carriers service ability evaluation system is constructed and its spatial differentiation is analyzed.The spatial layout structure and strategies of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan are put forward based on the spatial pattern of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan.The results show that:(1)The nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan are mainly concentrated in the main business districts.The scale and shape of the agglomeration are closely related to the level and spatial distribution of the business districts.The agglomeration area generally forms a spatial structure of "one large zone,two belts,three areas and multiple points".(2)The number of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan decreases from the center of the city to the periphery.There is a small peak in the number of carriers in circle where urban built-up areas of suburban located,and the distance attenuation rule is obvious.(3)The service capacity of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan is distributed in different stages,and the service capacity of nighttime economy carriers is gradually decreasing from the city center to the periphery,and the differentiation between the city center and periphery is obvious.The central urban area has formed several high-value agglomeration areas of nighttime economy carriers service capacity,such as Jianghan Road-Zhongshan Avenue,Wangjiawan,Xudong,Zhongnan Road-Chuhehan Street,Optics Valley Square.The service capacity of nighttime economy carriers in Wuhan is dominated by the high value and high value agglomeration pattern in the main urban area,and the low value and low value agglomeration pattern in the remote villages in the far urban area,with a significant two poles pattern.(4)Four large zones of nighttime economy carriers with good development have been formed in Wuhan:Jianghan RoadZhongshan Avenue-Jinghan Avenue-Wangjiadun,Xudong,Zhongnan Road,Chuhehan Street,and Optical Valley.The main axis of nighttime economy carriers layout along Zhongshan Avenue,Jianghan Road and Jinghan Avenue and the corridor of night economy carrier layout along the Yangtze River are built,the spatial structure of nighttime economy carriers layout in Wuhan with "one axis,one corridor and four zones and many points" is constructed. |
