A051: Spatial Distribution Pattern and Influencing Factors of Ice and Snow Tourism Resources in Shandong Province

At present, most studies focus on the three provinces in Northeast China, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, and Inner Mongolia, where the basic conditions of ice and snow tourism are relatively superior, while the spatial distribution characteristics of ice and snow tourism in Shandong Province are relatively scarce. In view of this, this study adopts ArcGIS spatial analysis technology to deeply explore the spatial distribution characteristics of ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province, and comprehensively analyze its influencing factors, aiming to provide theoretical suggestions and evidence-based policy references for optimizing the spatial layout of ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province and promoting the integrated development of ice and snow industry. Method: In this study, ArcMap 10.8 software and geospatial analysis were used to analyze ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province as input elements of point data. The research area was 156,700 square kilometers. E distance method was used to analyze the average nearest proximity, geographical concentration index, nuclear density, and standard deviation ellipse of ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province. The distribution and structure of ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province are drawn. Finally, the factors affecting the spatial distribution of ice and snow tourism resources were analyzed by using geographic detectors. (1) From the overall provincial level, the spatial distribution type of ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province is agglomeration, with strong geographical concentration but unbalanced distribution. (2) The ice and snow tourism resources in Shandong Province are influenced by the third GDP, population density, per capita GDP, expenditure on culture, tourism, sports, and media, total population at the end of the year, highway network density, and other factors. (1) Promote synergy among the three economic circles to form synergy for development. (2) Construct a three-dimensional spatial structure of "integrating points into planes and integrating planes into bodies" to upgrade the spatial pattern of ice and snow tourism resources. (3) Enhance the dual driving forces of the government and the market to promote the prosperity and development of the ice and snow industry. (4) Expand the population of ice and snow sports and strengthen the construction of ice and snow sports talents.
