Spatial Patterns Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Cultural Resources in the Yellow River National Cultural Park, China

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the spatial patterns characteristics of cultural resources within the Yellow River National Cultural Park in China. Therefore, this paper plans to use Arcgis-10.8 software to describe the spatial patterns of cultural resources within the Yellow River National Cultural Park and use Geographic detector tools to study the influence of physical geography and social and human factors on the spatial distribution pattern of cultural resources. The results indicate that: (1) the cultural resources in the Yellow River National show a spatial distribution pattern that is dense in the east and sparse in the west; (2) the spatial patterns of cultural resources within the planning scope of the Yellow River National Cultural Park are clustered, and multiple high-density areas such as south of the Shanxi province, north of the North Henan and Middle Shaanxi have formed, and the area covered by intangible cultural heritage is larger than that of tangible cultural heritage; (3) cultural resources show a “triangular” spatial distribution pattern, intangible cultural heritage shows an “N” spatial distribution pattern, and tangible cultural heritage shows an inverted “V” spatial distribution structure; (4) the influence of a single factor on the spatial distribution pattern of cultural resources is limited. The interaction of multiple factors can significantly improve explanation, and the landscape layout of cultural resources is the main factor affecting the spatial patterns of cultural resources.
