Evolution Mechanism of Tourism Village Cluster in Mountain Area:A Case Study of Luanchuan County
Describing the spatio-temporal evolution process of tourism specialized villages in mountainous areas holds crucial significance for exploring the evolutionary patterns and mechanisms,thereby facilitating rural revitalization and development.This study employs field surveys,spatial analysis,and regression analysis to analyze the agglomeration evolution process and mechanisms of tourism specialized villages in Luanchuan County.The findings include:① Luanchuan's tourism specialized village agglomeration evolution is divided into initial,development,and mature stages,each characterized by distinct features.② Factors influencing the agglomeration evolution of tourism-specialized villages can be categorized into eight aspects based on their magnitude of influence:Resource endowment,role of talented individuals,socio-economic development,and transportation conditions.③ In the initial stage,influences stem primarily from resource endowment,market demand,government,and the role of talented individuals.The development stage is largely impacted by market demand,government policies,scenic areas,and infrastructure.The mature stage sees significant influences from government actions,tourism projects,marketing activities,infrastructure,and emerging business models.④ Tourism specialized villages constitute the fundamental geographic carriers in Luanchuan's rural tourism development.Their diffusion follows specific patterns,expanding along various diffusion corridors,contributing to the comprehensive development of tourism across the region.
