Abstract
Urban tourism space is the primary area where tourism activities occur and a key driver of regional tourism space evolution. To explore the correlation between population aggregation and urban tourism spatial heterogeneity in the big data era, this study focuses on Wuhan's main urban area in 2023. Using the Geographically Weighted Regression model, it analyzes the factors influencing tourism spatial heterogeneity. Additionally, Baidu Heat map data is employed to identify crowd aggregation levels during holidays, revealing the distribution patterns of urban tourism space. The results indicate that (1) factors derived from the GWR model significantly influence the number of tourism spaces in Wuhan, with evident spatial differences; (2) based on the spatial matching of heterogeneity factors and crowd aggregation levels, urban tourism space can be categorized into six types, including five core tourism spaces and other scattered spaces. This research highlights the spatial heterogeneity of urban tourism in Wuhan and provides a scientific basis for the transformation and quality improvement of urban tourism space by exploring the impact of population activity density.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers of Architectural Research is an international journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, and case studies to promote rapid communication and exchange among scholars, architects, and engineers. This journal introduces and reviews significant and pioneering achievements in the field of architecture research. Subject areas include the primary branches of architecture, such as architectural design and theory, architectural science and technology, urban planning, landscaping architecture, existing building renovation, and architectural heritage conservation. The journal encourages studies based on a rigorous scientific approach and state-of-the-art technology. All published papers reflect original research works and basic theories, models, computing, and design in architecture. High-quality papers addressing the social aspects of architecture are also welcome. This journal is strictly peer-reviewed and accepts only original manuscripts submitted in English.
