ABSTRACT

In this paper, the spatial distribution situation and influencing factors of 1,227 A-level scenic spots in Shandong Province are analyzed based on the text and mathematical statistics, and the following conclusions are drawn: (1) The spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots in Shandong Province is significantly different among cities. Three major A-level scenic clusters have been formed, namely, southern Shandong (with Linyi and Jining as the core), east Shandong (with Qingdao and Weifang as the core) and central Shandong (with Jinan, Taian and Zibo as the core). (2) The concentration degree and density of the spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots in different cities of Shandong Province are imbalanced. It has formed a higher-density distribution area with the central parts of Dongying and Qingdao cities as the core, a high-density distribution area with the belt-shaped area from Jinan city to Weifang city in the east, the eastern part of Binzhou city, the northern part of Taian city, the central part of Jining city, the northern part of Linyi city and the peripheral block-shaped areas in the central parts of Dongying and Qingdao cities as the core, a medium-density distribution area with Jinan-Zibo-Linyi-Zaozhuang-Jining-Taian and other cities in the central and southern Shandong regions as the core, and a low and lower-density distribution area with the block-shaped areas formed by Dezhou-Liaocheng-Heze belt-shaped area in the western Shandong region and Yantai-Weihai-Rizhao three cities in Jiaodong Peninsula. (3) Social and economic factors, especially the financial revenue of service industries above designated size and the total retail sales of social consumer goods, have the strongest impact on the spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots in Shandong Province.
