Abstract

The construction of national night-time cultural and tourism consumption agglomeration areas plays a significant role in stimulating consumption growth and meeting the growing needs of people's quality of life. This study takes the three batches of agglomeration areas in China as the research object. Using geographic spatial feature analysis methods such as kernel density estimation, nearest neighbor index, and standard deviation ellipses, the spatial distribution patterns of the agglomeration areas are analyzed. Additionally,the optimal parameter geographic detector is employed to reveal the driving mechanisms behind their spatial heterogeneity. The results show: 1) The spatial distribution of agglomeration areas is uneven, presenting a clustering pattern of "more in the east and fewer in the west" and "stronger in the south and weaker in the north." 2) The type structure of agglomeration areas is diverse, and spatial heterogeneity is significant. The overall spatial density displays characteristics of "two primary cores, two secondary cores, and multiple peripheral areas." The two main cores are the high-density regions of the Yangtze River Delta and the BeijingTianjin-Hebei urban agglomerations. 3) The spatial distribution pattern of agglomeration areas presents a narrow shape along the northeast-southwest direction. 4) The spatial distribution pattern of agglomeration areas is the result of the combined influence of socioeconomic foundations, tourism development levels, historical and cultural environments, public service capacities, policy environments, and natural environments.
