Abstract

The emergence of sharing economy has significantly promoted the development of homestay around the world, and the appropriateness of homestay location has always been a focus of discussion among scholars, because it directly determines the business consequences. This study brings to light the intricate dynamics governing the distribution of rural green homestay inns in Guizhou, China, revealing a complex impact of diverse factors that shape their geographical preferences using Spatial Neighborhood Analysis, Geodetector, and Suitability Evaluator. These tools unveiled that rural green homestay inns are commonly located in proximity to critical rural tourist sites and cultural attractions. Many are ideally positioned near eco-villages, adorned with lush greenery, alongside main roads for easy access, and adjacent to rivers set against gentle or moderate elevations. Interestingly, while not economically developed, these areas often boast a vibrant tertiary industry. In identifying the optimal location for a rural green homestay inn, factors such as a rich array of tourism and cultural attractions, an inviting rural ecology, and convenient accessibility are paramount. However, only a tiny fraction of the land, specifically 1.04 %, and 5.25 %, is identified as highly and relatively suitable for rural green homestay inns in Guizhou, underscoring the need for a strategic and thoughtful layout process due to the scarcity of suitable locations. The findings highlight the need for strategic optimization of rural green homestay layouts to better support rural revitalization.
识别中国农村绿色民宿分布的具体特征、决定因素和适宜性
共享经济的出现极大地推动了全球民宿的发展,而民宿地点的适宜性一直是学者们讨论的焦点,因为它直接决定了民宿的经营后果。本研究运用空间邻域分析、地理探测器和适宜性评估等方法,揭示了贵州农村绿色民宿分布的复杂动态,揭示了影响其地理偏好的多种因素的复杂影响。这些工具揭示了农村绿色民宿通常位于重要的乡村旅游景点和文化景点附近。许多理想的位置靠近生态村,点缀着郁郁葱葱的绿色植物,沿着主要道路方便进入,毗邻河流,以平缓或中等的海拔。有趣的是,这些地区虽然经济不发达,但往往拥有充满活力的第三产业。在确定乡村绿色民宿的最佳位置时,诸如丰富的旅游和文化景点、诱人的乡村生态以及便利的交通等因素是至关重要的。然而,贵州只有一小部分土地,分别为1.04%和5.25%,被确定为高度适合和相对适合农村绿色民宿,这表明由于合适的地点稀缺,需要战略性和深思熟虑的布局过程。研究结果表明,农村绿色民宿布局需要进行战略优化,以更好地支持乡村振兴。
