Measurement,Spatial Disparities and Optimization Strategies of Cultural Industry Development:A Case Study of Gansu Province
Based on the construction of a cultural industry evaluation index system,this study employs the entropy method to assess the developmental status of the cultural industry across 14 cities(prefectures)in Gansu Province.Additionally,spatial correlation analysis of cultural industry development levels is conducted using a spatial autocorrelation model.Findings from the research spanning 2015 to 2020 indicate a consistent upward trend in the development of the cultural industry in Gansu Prov-ince.However,despite this positive trajectory,the province lags behind other regions in Northwest China in terms of cultural de-velopment.Moran's I analysis reveals a significant spatial correlation among the development levels of cultural industries across different regions of Gansu Province.Analysis of Local Indicators of Spatial Association(LISA)maps further highlights substan-tial disparities in cultural industry development among different areas of the province,indicating both positive and negative spa-tial impacts based on the level of cultural industry development.To address these disparities and leverage the cultural develop-ment,Gansu Province should adopt a developmental model that integrates tourism and culture,bolsters talent recruitment ef-forts,enhances cultural innovation capabilities,fosters cultural exchanges with other regions,and ultimately elevates the overall level of cultural industry development within the province.
