Spatial Layout and Influencing Factors of Forest-based Health and Wellness Base in China
Forest-based health and wellness base is among the most powerful driver to forestry industry upgrading and transformation in China,and also the effective way to implement the strategies of rural revitalization and Healthy China Initiative.This paper analyzes the spatial layout of 920 forest-based health and wellness bases and its influencing factors,using the methods of spatial analysis,nearest neighbour index and nuclear density analysis,with the aim to optimize the spatial configuration of resource elements for forest-based health and wellness industry in China and provide a theoretic reference for the industry development.The results show that:1)The national forest-based health and wellness bases are unevenly distributed nationwide in terms of spatial layout,reflected by a tendency of aggregation,i.e.,more in South China and less in North China,and more in the East and less in the West.Its spatial structure is therefore characterized with agglomeration,indicating a feature of concentrated distribution and auto-correlation in the spatial range;and 2)In terms of influencing factors,national forest-based health and wellness bases are established in a proper order in national forest park,national scenic spots and national nature reserves.The quantitative distribution pattern of national forest-based health and wellness bases is the most correlated with the annual average precipitation among ecological factors.Permanent resident population,urban population,population of the elders over 60 years old and GDP are all positively correlated with the number of forest-based health and wellness bases.Based on the research results,the paper comes up with suggestions to circumvent the blind and over-capacity development to maintain the quality of the bases,set up the bases at the urban area and with radiating effect on the surrounding areas,and promote the regional coordination for forming the rings of forest-based health and wellness bases.
