Analysis on the Spatial Distribution Features of the National Forest Parks in Shandong Province
In this paper an analysis was made on the spatial distribution features of the national forest parks in Shandong Province us-ing such methods as the nearest distance index,geographical concentration index,polygon variation coefficient,kernel density analysis,spatial analysis and scale index.The results showed that the spatial distribution of the national forest parks in the province was clus-tered,unevenly distributed in the 16 prefecture-level cities,forming 2 core areas in central south mountainous and hilly region and east low mountainous and hilly region of Shandong,with punctiform distribution of parks,showing a pattern of"2 core aggregations and spotty concentrations".The cities of Tai′an,Weihai,Yantai,Jinan and Qingdao all had the advantages for building national forest parks and the cities of Linyi and Zaozhuang also had strong development potentials.The quantitative correlation index between the forestland area and the national forest parks was 0.84.In conclusion,to realize overall and coordinated development of national forest parks and form cluster effects in the province,some prefecture-level cities should strengthen the building of national forest parks.
