| Rural tourism promotes urban-rural integration, facilitates the high-quality development of agriculture and rural areas, and provides important support for the rural revitalization strategy. Guangxi has a long history, diverse natural
landscape resources and folk culture, and great potential for rural tourism development. Based on ArcGIS spatial analysis
technology, a total of 399 ecological characteristic cultural tourism villages (ECCTVGs) in 2 batches in Guangxi were taken
as the research samples, and their spatial structure was identified by using nearest neighbor index, geographical concentra⁃
tion index, imbalance index, kernel density analysis method, and the influencing factors were detected by geodetector. The
results show that the spatial distribution type of ECCTVGs is cohesive, and the overall distribution is characterized by con⁃
centration and imbalance, with more quantity distribution in the eastern, southern and western parts of Guangxi, and the
density of spatial distribution of tourism villages shows significant differences, it is characterized by the agglomeration of "5
main core areas and 2 sub-core areas", with higher distribution density in the eastern and southern parts of Guangxi. The
spatial distribution pattern of tourism villages stems from the combined effect of multiple driving factors, the influencing fac⁃
tors such as slope, keyword frequency and elevation have a relatively strong single-factor explanatory power for the spatial
distribution of tourism villages, the interaction between rural tourism policies and the number of ethnic characteristic villages,
the proportion of rural fiscal expenditure and the number of days with good air quality, as well as the added value of agricul⁃
ture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery and the per capita amount of harmless garbage treatment, has a relatively
strong explanatory power for the spatial distribution of tourism villages, the interaction among policy support, ecological
and cultural environment, and industrial foundation has a significant impact on the spatial differentiation of tourism vil⁃
lages. |
