Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper advances geographic theoretical models on the spatial and temporal effects of tourism development and modifies them to analyze archipelagic destinations. Using Okinawa, Japan, as a case study, changes in the distribution of resort hotels, transportation linkages, tourism numbers, and development policies are examined over a period of 40 years. The results of this empirical study suggest that Okinawa’s development corresponds very closely to the archipelagic model which, in turn, corresponds to other similar models predicting the spread of tourism.

群岛旅游开发模式:以冲绳县为例

摘要本文提出了旅游发展时空效应的地理理论模型，并对其进行了修正，以分析群岛目的地。以日本冲绳为例，研究了40年来度假酒店分布、交通联系、旅游业数量和发展政策的变化。这项实证研究的结果表明，冲绳的发展与群岛模型非常吻合，而群岛模型又与预测旅游业传播的其他类似模型相吻合。

期刊介绍： Asian Geographer disseminates knowledge about geographical problems and issues focusing on Asia and the Pacific Rim. Papers dealing with other regions should have a linkage to Asia and the Pacific Rim. Original and timely articles dealing with any field of physical or human geographical inquiries and methodologies will be considered for publication. We welcome, for example, submissions on people-environment interactions, urban and regional development, transport and large infrastructure, migration, natural disasters and their management, environment and energy issues. While the focus of the journal is placed on original research articles, review papers as well as viewpoints and research notes under the category of “Asian Geography in Brief” are also considered. Review papers should critically and constructively analyse the current state of understanding on geographical and planning topics in Asia. The ‘Asian Geography in Brief’ section welcomes submissions of applied geographical and planning research about Asia. The section aims to showcase (1) the diverse geography and planning of Asia; and (2) the diverse geographical and planning research about Asia. The journal will also publish special issues on particular themes or areas. Book reviews can be included from time to time.
