Abstract:
With ArcGIS spatial positioning and matrix analysis methods, the spatial distribution and regional combination of Chinese top 100 scenic spots (CTSS) and Chinese top 100 touristic cities (CTTC) in 2011 are analyzed. The results show that there are power-law distribution characteristics between CTSS and CTTC, and the correlation coefficients are 0.964 and 0.995, respectively. In spatial, it appears clustering features for CTSS, that is, Bohai Rim region, Yellow River-Longhai, Yangtze River area, Yangtze River delta and Pearl River delta region.While it presents zonal distribution for CTTC and mainly spreads the southeast of Hu Line. In the regional combination, there are quantity matching and scale level matching relations between CTSS and CTTC. There are four combinations for quantity matching relationship, and high level touristic cities provide tourism services and facilities to same level or low level scenic spots for scale level matching relationship.
