Study on Spatial and Temporal Distribution Characteristics of Water Heritage in Zhengzhou City
Zhengzhou,a city rich in history and culture,has fostered a unique water culture,leaving behind an ex-tensive legacy.Studying Zhengzhou's water conservancy heritage can promote its development,inheritance,and u-tilization.This paper selects the material water conservancy heritage in Zhengzhou,establishes a spatial database using spatial information technology,and enhances data on its formation era and type characteristics.Through ArcGIS analysis,it is found that older heritage tends to be rarer,and spatially,they exhibit clustering patterns.Wa-ter supply and drainage projects cluster in Liuhe and Cuimiao towns,while water conservancy sites are concen-trated in southern Xinzheng.Other types of heritage are primarily around the Yiluo and Suoxu rivers,decreasing in number as distance increases.Its formation is influenced by factors like economy,trade,politics,and culture.
