Distribution Characteristics and Influencing Mechanism of Forest-Rural Areas in Yangtze River Economic Belt Based on Spatial A-nalysis
Using GIS spatial analysis methods to explore the spatial distribution characteristics and regional differentiation patterns of 3 321 forest villages in the Yangtze River Economic Belt,supplemented by buffer zone and overlay analysis,and geographic detector models to investi-gate the main influencing factors of forest-rural spatial distribution.The results showed that the spatial distribution of forest-rural areas in the Yangtze River Economic Belt presented typical agglomeration characteristics.The forest-rural areas were concentrated in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River,followed by the distribution density in the lower reaches.On the whole,the distribution of nuclear density in for-est-rural areas presented a"double core-single point-ring core group"distribution.The spatial distribution of forest-rural areas in the Yan-gtze River Economic Belt had a significant spatial positive correlation,manifested as a spatial differentiation pattern of east hot and west cold,and alternating cold and hot.The spatial distribution pattern of forest-rural areas in the Yangtze River Economic Belt was jointly influenced by natural geographical environment,ecological environment quality,social development status and economic development level.Among them,cul-tivated land area,permanent population and forest coverage were the main influencing factors of forest-rural spatial distribution,and their spatial differentiation was the result of the joint driving of influencing factors.
