Evolution laws and mechanisms of spatial structure in Xi'an's cultural and entertainment industry:a symmetry and hierarchy perspective
The cultural and entertainment industry plays a pivotal role in the urban economic transformation and the enhancement of residents'quality of life.Based on point of interest(POI)data of Xi'an from 2010 to 2020,the spatial structural evolution of cultural and entertainment industry is investigated by employing Geo-information Tupu methodology and geographically and temporally weighted regression models.Specifically focusing on symmetry and hierarchy,the research aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms shaping the industry's spatial configuration.Findings reveal a notable outward expansion of cultural and entertainment industry in Xi'an from the city center during the study period,exhibiting a multi-centralized trend characterized by discernible symmetry and hierarchical laws.The formation of diverse spatial structures is attributed to the interplay of transportation,demographic,regional economic,commercial,and industrial policy factors across multiple dimensions.Basic,developmental,and auxiliary factors influence the spatial distribution and site selection of industry hotspots through mechanisms involving supply and demand mechanism,trigger mechanism,and strengthening mechanism.
