Abstract

It is of great significance to clarify the distribution pattern of urban tourism and leisure industries for improving the allocation efficiency of urban tourism and leisure elements and optimizing the modern service industry system in big cities. Based on the POI data, the distribution pattern and contributing factors of urban tourism and leisure industries in Xi'an were explored by using the analysis methods such as the nearest distance index, the kernel density estimation and the geographical detector. The results showed that the urban tourism and leisure industry of Xi'an is characterized by multi-core agglomeration locally in the urban center, and the density of the industry is gradient decreasing from the urban center area to the marginal region. While, this regularity of distribution is the result of the comprehensive effects of the market, location, economy and transportation factors, in which market factors are the core driving force, CBD proximity and economic level are the key driving force, and traffic conditions are the supportive driving force. According to the article, to improve the balance and efficiency of the allocation of tourism and leisure industry elements in big cities, city managers should take into account the overall development of urban centers and urban peripheral areas, especially the support for consumption guidance, functional area construction, capital investment and infrastructure construction in urban peripheral regions should be increased.
