Analysis of Spatial Differentiation Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Forestry Enterprises in China
The analysis of spatial differentiation characteristics and influencing factors of forestry enterprises promotes the overall development of the forestry industry,thereby laying a solid foundation for ecological civilization and economic and social development.Utilizing data from forestry enterprises in China,this paper explores the spatial differentiation characteristics using spatial analysis methods such as average nearest neighbor,local Moran index,and hotspot analysis,compares the precision of results from ordinary least squares(OLS)model and multi-scale geographically weighted regression(MGWR)model,and explores the spatial heterogeneity of factors influencing the distribution of forestry enterprises revealing the influence of different factors.The results show that:(1)The spatial agglomeration of forestry enterprises in China is evident,and the degree of agglomeration has been increasing in recent years.(2)Changes in the local correlation characteristics of forestry enterprises in China are more pronounced,with the distribution quantity of hotspot agglomerations in the Northeast and Southwest shrinking considerably,and hotspot agglomerations in the Southeast consistently maintaining a large-scale.(3)Regarding factors influencing the distribution of forestry enterprises,the number of residents,the number of authorized patents,green land area,garden area,and forest area positively influence distribution.Conversely,highway density and the total amount of imports and exports are mainly negatively correlated with the number of forestry enterprises.Forestry enterprises are more influenced by resource distribution and market demand.Highway traffic does not favor the location of forestry enterprises.The results of this study can support the optimization of the spatial layout of forestry enterprises in China and provide references for the formulation of forestry industry policies and industrial planning.
