Abstract

With the economic impact and increasing popularity of the electronic gaming industry, EGS (Electronic Gaming Sports) had become an important topic of debate in sports academia regarding its conceptual delineation and attribute characteristics. This paper jumped out of the hotpot academic perspective of the concept, characteristics, and impacts of EGS. In response to the gaps in the spatial development of the EGS industry and the lack of empirical research findings, an interpretive empirical research method was adopted, focusing on Wuhan as the study area to gain insight into the situation where the spatial development of the EGS industry was unclear. The spatial evolution of the EGS industry in the main town area of Wuhan was interpreted through a quantitative approach and based on the spatial data of EGS companies from 2006 to 2022 using Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN), Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), and Ordinary Kriging (OK) of geospatial analysis. The results indicated closure to the gradual release of the EGS industry, with specific findings as follows. (1) The EGS industry in the main town area of Wuhan from 2006 to 2022 developed rapidly, and the overall spatial distribution showed a process from discrete to cluster, accompanied by an apparent deepening of aggregation in recent years. The local aggregation of the EGS industry transformed from dual to multiple cores, and the multiple cores formed stronger groups of aggregation as the cluster spread and merged. (2) The spatial interpolation of the registered capital of companies predicted the hot spot of high- capital distribution of EGS companies in the Optics Valley vice town area of Hongshan to the southeast, indicating that more competitive EGS companies and larger EGS industry groups might emerge in Optics Valley in the future. (3) The spatial evolution of the EGS industry in the main town area of Wuhan could be divided into an early start phase from 2006-2010, a rapid development phase from 2010-2014, an aggregate explosion phase from 2014-2018, and a cluster integration phase from 2018-2022. (4) The spatial evolution of the EGS industry was influenced not only by the main factors of industrial economic agglomeration, industrial chain derivation, and industrial policy environment but also by the other factors of land and talent market, adjacent infrastructure support, city industrial promotion, and globalization dissemination. The future development of the EGS industry could be guided by the government's industrial policies, supported by high-quality talent teams, and driven by local promotion and international communication to provide an essential impetus for the optimal EGS industry.
从封闭到逐步释放:武汉主城区EGS产业空间演化及成因机制证据
随着电子游戏产业的经济影响和日益普及,EGS (electronic gaming Sports)的概念界定和属性特征成为体育学术界争论的重要话题。本文跳出了热点学术的视角,对EGS的概念、特征和影响进行了阐述。针对绿色能源产业空间发展的空白和实证研究成果的缺乏,采用解释性实证研究方法,以武汉市为研究区域,深入了解绿色能源产业空间发展不明确的情况。以2006 - 2022年武汉主城区EGS企业空间数据为基础,采用平均近邻法(ANN)、核密度法(KDE)和普通克里格法(OK)等地理空间分析方法,对武汉主城区EGS产业空间演变进行了定量分析。研究结果表明,EGS行业正在逐步放开,具体发现如下:(1) 2006 - 2022年武汉市主城区EGS产业发展迅速,整体空间分布呈现由离散到集群的过程,近年来呈现明显的集聚加深趋势。EGS产业的局部集聚由双核向多核转变,多核随着集群的扩散和融合形成了更强的集聚群。(2)公司注册资本的空间插值预测了东南红山光谷副镇区域的EGS公司高资本分布热点,表明未来光谷可能会出现更多具有竞争力的EGS公司和更大的EGS产业群。③武汉市主城区EGS产业空间演化可划分为2006-2010年前期起步阶段、2010-2014年快速发展阶段、2014-2018年集聚爆发阶段和2018-2022年集群整合阶段。④环境服务产业空间演化不仅受到产业经济集聚、产业链衍生、产业政策环境等主要因素的影响,还受到土地与人才市场、相邻基础设施支撑、城市产业促进、全球化传播等其他因素的影响。未来的EGS产业发展,可以通过政府产业政策的引导,高素质人才队伍的支持,本土推广和国际交流的带动,为EGS产业的优化提供必不可少的动力。
