STUDY ON SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION AND INFLUENCING FACTORS OF RURAL MAKER-SPACE IN CHINA
The article takes 1908 rural maker-spaces in China as the research object,sorts out the types of ru-ral maker-space from the perspective of niche ecostate-ecorole,and uses methods such as nearest neighbor index,Voronoi map analysis,kernel density estimation,and geographic detectors to reveal the spatial differ-entiation patterns and influencing factors of rural maker-space in China.The results indicate that:1)Based on the perspective of niche ecostate-ecorole,the rural maker-space can be divided into six types:agriculture-related enterprise resource sharing,industrial park service supply,university and institute achievement trans-formation,professional incubator incubation,entrepreneurial platform activity aggregation,and village open cooperation and mutual assistance.2)The overall spatial distribution of rural maker-space in China presents a clustering pattern,specifically manifested as the high-density distribution of rural maker-space in the coastal areas north of the Yangtze River,gradually decreasing from the coastal area to the inland,with the character-istics of being dense in the east and sparse in the west,and more in the north and less in the south.3)The spa-tial distribution of rural maker-space in China is influenced to varying degrees by factors such as informatiza-tion foundation,social capital,government support,regional openness,rural resource endowment,rural eco-nomic development,and technological support.
