Based on the theory of "stimulus-organism-response" (SOR), this paper establishes a conceptual model of homestay choice intention and analyzes the impact mechanism of choice intention of homestay tourists through structural equation modeling, with a focus on exploring the mediating effects of tourists' cognitive and emotional responses and the moderating effect of sharing economy platform information source. The conclusions are drawn as follows. The homey environment and interaction between host and guest enhance tourist's cognitive and emotional responses, homey function enhances tourist's cognitive responses, and tourist's emotional responses promote the intention to choose homestay. The cognitive and emotional responses of tourist are important mediators that affect the intention to choose homestays. The rating of homestay on online platforms positively moderates the relationship between tourists' cognitive response and behavioral intention. The impact analysis of homestay characteristics and online evaluations on tourists' choice intention provides a new explanatory perspective for the study of consumer behavioral intention, and expands tourism decision-making theory and signal theory.

From a semiotic perspective, rural tourism attractions have a dualistic structure promoted by the transformation between signifier and signified. Based on the theories of the Double Layer Representation System and Symbolic Attraction in Semiotics, this study integrates field and online data to explore the characteristics and value transformation of Huangling's Sun-Drying Autumn in Wuyuan as a rural tourism attraction, summarizing its construction path and features. The research findings are as follows: 1) In the early stage of construction of rural tourism attraction, upgrading of rural material carrier (signifier) reduces their agricultural value (signified of agricultural customs). 2) To expand the influence of rural tourism attractions, tourism values (signified of tourism attractions) have been continuously endowed. 3) As agricultural value decreases and tourism value increases, rural tourism attraction development now depends on the transformation and upgrading of rural material carriers and the continuous creation of tourism value, rather than rural authenticity. This study aims to offer experience and references for sustainable rural tourism, while enriching tourism geography research on resources and attractions.

Livelihood is intricately connected to rural development and rural research, playing a pivotal role in assisting rural households in poverty alleviation, examining agricultural dynamics, and addressing rural development issues. In the face of the increasingly tense contradiction between locally focused sustainable livelihood approaches and the fluidity of networked societies, the renowned livelihood scholar Scoones proposed that scale be considered a central element of livelihood approaches. This necessitates livelihood research to transcend the confines of local spaces and interpret livelihood from a translocal perspective, which has become the focal point and developmental direction of current livelihood research. Translocal livelihood has found wide applications in elucidating rural development, migration, resilience, climate change, and other domains, offering significant theoretical and practical value. This article systematically reviews the origins, essence, key elements, and research topics of translocal livelihood, and based on this groundwork, constructs a research framework for translocal livelihood, holding critical implications for advancing the paradigm of livelihood research and implementing rural revitalization strategies.

In contemporary society, capital and political power extend their tentacles to every corner through the horizontal magic of space. Extensive economic cooperation, social restructuring, cultural interaction, and urban-rural integration require solutions that involve more spatial thinking. Understanding the operational mechanism of spatial power is of great significance. With the help of social representation and discourse power theory, this study reveals the idea of social space proposed by Lefebvre, and reconstructs the relationship between the representation of space, the practice of space and the represented space. The findings indicate that: 1) "The representation of space" forms social representations of space from the perspective of social psychology theory, and subsequently manifests as spatial discourse at the practical level, influences human minds and behavior, plays the role of power. 2) The power subjects of various eras construct space and its related spatial discourses such as cognition, concepts, knowledge, policy systems, language symbols, etc. based on realistic needs. 3) The logic underpinning modern spatial governance lies in the existence of politics and capital power operation mechanism in social space，which constructs and articulates space and its discourse, and through this process, they regulate individual and social practical behaviors, subsequently reconfigure social space. In this study, the ternary dialectical relationship of "practice of space, representation of space and represented space" in the production theory of space is transformed into the relationship between spatial discourse, social practice and social spatial reconstruction.

The administrative division adjustment involves the redistribution and re-collocation of national territory, political and administrative power, in order to better achieve efficient spatial governance, and economic and social development. Based on the administrative division adjustment in Jinan and Laiwu, this study focuses on the residents' sense of place in Laiwu area towards Jinan city, and uses grounded theory to analyze its multidimensional structure, and the construction process and mechanism. The results demonstrate that: 1) The sense of place under the background of administrative division adjustment can be divided into three dimensions of sense of acquisition, happiness and identity. 2) The construction of sense of acquisition is influenced by residents' perceptions of changes in local autonomy, exclusive support policies for Laiwu area, future prospects of Laiwu, and the perceived convenience of residents' daily life. The construction of sense of happiness is influenced by life satisfaction, emotional experience, and the comparison with neighboring populations. 3) The residents of the Laiwu area have undergone an evolutionary process in their perception of Jinan city, transitioning from a "place in imagination and discourse" to a "place in context", and ultimately to a "place in symbols". 4) The sense of place among residents of the Laiwu area exhibits group heterogeneity, with lower levels among males, individuals with higher educational attainment, and the middleaged and younger demographics.

Returning migrant workers play a crucial role in the sustainable development of rural human resources through their decisions to return and their subsequent living conditions in rural tourism destinations. Based on in-depth interviews with 21 returning migrant workers in the rural tourism destinations of Miaoshan Village and Shuikou Village in Huzhou City, this study employs the grounded theory method and utilizes the qualitative analysis software Nvivo12 to analyze the interview data, constructing a theoretical model of the well-being formation mechanism for returning migrant workers in rural tourism destinations. The study proposes the following conclusions: firstly, it identifies the structural dimensions of the well-being of returning migrant workers in rural tourism destinations. The structure of well-being consists of 8 dimensions and 24 categories, including rational traits, emotional traits, difference perception, environmental perception, individual perception, multifaceted interaction, value affirmation, and behavioral commitment. Secondly, the study constructs a mechanism for the formation of well-being among returning rural tourism practitioners from a process perspective. Thirdly, research has found that rural tourism destination residents have their own evaluation preferences in the process of forming their sense of well-being. The results show that rational traits, emotional traits, difference perception, environment perception, individual perception, multifaceted interaction, value affirmation, and behavioral commitment form a mechanism model in a three-stage, multi-level manner, resulting in the well-being of returning workers.

In recent years, China has committed itself to promoting high-quality development of regional economies, and how to realize this goal has become a hot topic of discussion among scholars. Economic complexity can be used to measure the quality of economic development by utilizing the complexity of technology and knowledge contained in economies at different scales, such as regions, industries or firms. The higher the economic complexity, the greater the complexity of the knowledge and technology at their disposal, and the more the economy tends to develop in a high-quality and innovation-driven direction. This paper explores the impact of consumption structure upgrading on regional economic complexity from a demand-side perspective. Consumption structure upgrading is the process of transforming residents' consumption from being dominated by survival-oriented products to development and hedonic products. We utilize the panel data of 31 provincial administrative regions in China during the period of 2000—2020, and adopt research methods such as ECI+ and price relative index. The study obtained the following findings: First, consumption structure upgrading can significantly enhance regional economic complexity; Second, the positive impact of consumption structure upgrading on regional economic complexity is realized through three mechanisms; Third, there is regional heterogeneity in the impact of consumption structure upgrading on regional economic complexity, the higher the degree of marketization and the lower the degree of market segmentation, the greater the positive impact of consumption structure upgrading.

Constantly impacting and reshaping inter-city connections, the spatial flow of digital technology knowledge elements dominates the formation and evolution of digital technology dual networks, and also brings new impetus and new mechanism for the integrated development of culture and tourism. 183, 309 pieces of digital technology cooperation patent big data used to depict China's digital technology dual network, text mining on 48,050 pieces of news data carried out to measure the integrated development level of culture and tourism in this paper, we use decision tree method to explore the comparative advantage path of high-level integrated development of culture and tourism in different types of cities on the basis of city cluster classification in response to the spatial characteristic practice of the deep integration of culture and tourism. The results show that: 1) The digital technology dual network has a three-layer topology of "peripheral, middle and core", thus Chinese cities can be divided into three types. 2) The different combinations of digital technology dual network embeddedness characteristics drive the same cities to obtain differentiated integrated development of culture and tourism. 3) The high-level integrated paths of culture and tourism of different types of cities show the effect of the same destination.

As a theoretical movement of reflection on the "nature-society" dichotomy that emerged in Western human geography at the end of the 20th century, the social construction of nature considers that nature is essentially the social nature. It provides a new opportunity for geography to deepen the human-land relationship from the unity and hybridity of socio-nature, provides a new perspective for insight into the increasingly systematic and in-depth socio-ecological transformation, provides a new paradigm for promoting the harmony between man and nature, and provides a new topic for the advancement of geography and philosophy to be combined in a more systematic way, and thus has become a key theme of the Western human geography community and was introduced to China in 2017. In order to further deepen the relevant research, this paper examines the meaning of the term "nature", reviews the context in which the "social construction of nature" was proposed, its theoretical propositions and the relevant studies at home and abroad, and proposes several possible research directions for the future in China. The study found that: 1) The "nature" in the social construction of nature mainly refers to the the external, material world itself. 2) The theory of the social construction of nature considers "nature" as a hybrid and inseparable socio-nature. 3) Focusing on such topics as the process of social construction of nature, social construction of nature and space/place, and the ethics of social construction of nature, relevant studies in China reveal that in the process of social construction of nature, the discourse construction of nature and the material practice of nature are interrelated, and that the constructed nature will be embedded into the local society again. 4) In the context of the localization of the theory of social construction of nature, we should pay more attention to the construction of nature in the value realization of ecological products in China.

In fact, the consumption scenario of urban tourism attractions has changed from closed scenic spots to borderless tourist spaces. Analyzing the mechanism of tourists' consumption difference under the new consumption scenario from the perspective of amenity can provide theoretical support for cultivating highquality urban consumption space. Specifically, this paper puts forward the method of constructing the consumption scenario of urban tourism attractions, and takes Suzhou Paradise Forest World Scenic Spotas an example to analyze the influence effect and mechanism of urban tourism attractions amenity on the consumption difference between scenic areas and blocks. The results show that: 1) Under the background of consumption upgrading, the consumption scenario of urban tourism attractions has changed into scenic spots and their surrounding blocks, and the tourism consumption is still depressed. 2) Amenity in scenic spots is the continuous driving force of consumption in urban tourism attractions, and its amenity has consumption spillover effect. 3) Block amenity is a stable supporting force for the consumption of urban tourism attractions.

Mending the short boards of public service facilities and creating an efficient and well-organized spatial configuration pattern of facilities are the basic requirements for construeting of community living areas. Based on the current situation of the construction of basic security facilities in the living area, according to the idea of "facility selection—increased number of facilities—location of increased facilities", the optimization plan of indemnificatory service facilities is constructed under the requirement of efficient configuration. the optimization plan is as follows: 1) Based on the 15-minute walking areas, obtain the proportion of living circles with basic indemnificatory service facilities and the current construction, and screen out the facilities with optimization requirements. 2) Simulate the process of adding facilities based on the K-means clustering method, identify the critical point of slowing down the growth of revenue from new facilities, and obtain the optimal number of new facilities. 3) Relying on the kernel density analysis and location-allocation model, the optimal spatial allocation of facilities is determined.

Taking Guizhou province, a digital economy development innovation zone, as an example, based on the TOPSIS method and modified DEA model to measure digital inclusive finance (DUF) and tourism efficiency (TE), we comprehensively use panel vector autoregression model, modified coupled coordination degree model and panel model to analyze the interaction between DUF and tourism efficiency in Guizhou province from 2011 to 2020, and analyze the relationship between DUF and TE. The study analyzes the interaction between digital financial inclusion and tourism efficiency in Guizhou Province from 2011 to 2020, and analyzes the influence relationship, spatial and temporal pattern of coupling coordination and driving mechanism. The study shows that: 1) Digital financial inclusion and tourism efficiency are causal relationships, digital financial inclusion and tourism efficiency have different degrees of path dependence. 2) From 2011 to 2020, the coupling and coordination grade of digital financial inclusion and tourism industry efficiency in Guizhou Province has been continuously improved, experiencing the stage process of "disorder→ transition→coordination"; the "olive-shaped" distribution of the coupling and coordination grade of digital financial inclusion and tourism industry efficiency has become more and more obvious.

The improvement of urban space quality often affects the high-quality development of cities, which in turn affects the balance between urban and rural areas and the realization of urban-rural co-prosperity. The article attempts to construct a systematic system of urban space quality evaluation indicators to evaluate the space quality of China's cities, and then uses panel fixed effect regression model, nonlinear regression model and spatial Dubin model (SDM) conducted empirical research on the relationship between urban spatial quality and urban-rural co-prosperity in 285 prefecture-level cities in China from 2005 to 2020. The results show that: 1) The urban space quality in China is generally on the upward trend, and this upward trend shows spatial and temporal heterogeneity. 2) Urban spatial quality can significantly promote the common prosperity of urban and rural areas, but because of the inverted "U" shape relationship between the two, this promotion can only be achieved at a certain stage of urban development. 3) Different spatial types of cities have different impacts on common affluence between urban and rural areas. 4) Improving urban space quality affects urban and rural common prosperity through accelerated market integration and improvement of transport infrastructure.

In the post-crisis era, regional economic resilience studies have progressively formed an ideological system around "evolutionary resilience". In order to capture the emerging dynamics and particularly the perspective turn of regional economic resilience studies, this paper carries out a quantitative analysis of 340 articles included in the scientific citation database Web of Science from 2008 to 2023 and deploys CiteSpace software to do a knowledge mapping. The key research findings are: 1) the number of articles on regional economic resilience accelerates over the last two decades or so, especially after the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, and forms a core author group and cooperation networks around Europe; 2) mainstream studies still follow the evolutionary resilience paradigm, focusing on the regional endogenous structure and actor agencies that affect the characters, processes, and mechanisms of economic resilience; 3) However, emerging studies have debated that the evolutionary resilience paradigm is increasingly difficult to satisfactorily explain the regional economic resilience issue against the global political and economic changes, and studies under the relational perspective thus begin to gain momentum.

Rural economy is the important component of China's economy. Ensuing the smooth operation of rural economic is the inevitable requirement for high-quality economic development. Rural economic resilience provides important support and guarantee for the smooth operation of rural system. Taking 83 counties (cites) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region (for short Xinjiang) as research objects, this paper uses Markov chain and panel data regression to reveal spatial-temporal pattern of rural economic resilience in Xinjiang as well as its influencing factors. The research results show that: 1) Rural economic resilience in Xinjiang showed a gradual upward trend during the study period, and showed the spatial characteristics of "Northern Xinjiang > Southern Xinjiang". Different levels of rural economic resilience in Xinjiang shows obvious "cluster" spatial distribution characteristics. The number of high-level areas show obvious increasing trend, mainly distribute in Economic belt on the Northern slope of the Tianshan Mountains and Industry belt on the Southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains. 2) In the short term, rural economic resilience in Xinjiang has the trend of club convergence. But, with the passing of time, the degree of club convergence is gradually weakened. Moreover, the spatial effect has an important influence on the dynamic evolution trend of rural economic resilience in Xinjiang. 3) Economic base, financial self-sufficiency rate and tourism development have positive effects on the improvement of rural economic resilience in Xinjiang, while industrial development and industrial concentration ratio play obstructive roles.

From urban and rural coordination to urban and rural integration to urban and rural integrated development are three important stages in the development of urban and rural relations in the process of Chinese path to modernization. In depth analysis of the temporal evolution process, laws, and spatial differentiation mechanism of urban-rural integration is of great value for accurately grasping the spatiotemporal evolution pattern, influencing factors, and enhancing the synergistic effect of spatial and structural "dual dimensions" of urban-rural integration. The study constructs a five dimensional evaluation index system of "population society economy space ecology" to depict the temporal evolution process of urban-rural integration in China from 2003 to 2020 and reveal its spatial differentiation mechanism. Research has found that: 1) The overall level of urban-rural integration in China and the four major regions have shown an upward trend in temporal evolution, but the spatial differentiation characteristics of urban-rural integration between the four regions are obvious; 2) The main reason for the spatial differentiation of urban-rural integration comes from regional differences, with significant differences between the eastern and western regions, and higher differences within the eastern region compared to the northeast, central, and western regions; 3) The differences in social, spatial, and demographic integration are the main structural sources of spatial differentiation in China's urban-rural integration. 4) The differences in social security and spatial construction are the reasons for the increased spatial differentiation of overall urban-rural integration in China. The differences in spatial communication and ecological governance are the reasons for the increased spatial differentiation in the east.

Based on the data of enterprises' transnational equity investment, this paper employs a comprehensive methodology including social network analysis, bivariate spatial autocorrelation analysis, Dagum spatial Gini coefficient, Markov chain analysis, and spatial panel Durbin model to explore the regional differences, dynamic evolution and driving factors of global intercity investment levels in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) from 2003 to 2022. The findings indicate: 1) The global intercity investment levels in the YRD exhibit significant regional differences, characterized by a core-periphery structure centered around Shanghai and supported by the Shanghai-Hefei, Shanghai-Hangzhou, and Hangzhou-Ningbo development corridors; the relative differences have been narrowed, and the inter-regional differences are the main source of the relative differences. 2) Cities exhibit stability in maintaining their existing investment levels, with a low probability of achieving leapfrog transitions. There is a clear club convergence effect and spatial spillover effect. 3) Globalization, marketization and localization factors collectively drive the spatiotemporal evolution of global intercity investment levels in the YRD. The levels are not only directly influenced by local factors within each city but also indirectly affected by neighboring cities.

In the contemporary world, globalization has accelerated the shift from structured societies to ones characterized by fluidity. This transformation has given rise to extensive discussions around various issues, including the identity and spatial perception of individuals as agents of mobility, the reconstruction of places due to the movement of humans and objects, and the evolving meanings of fluid spaces. A focal point of contemporary research within this paradigm pertains to inns as moorings within the mobility system. They are becoming critical in studying the intricate and ever-changing dynamics of mobility and spatial relationships. This paper employs grounded theory as a method to conduct an empirical analysis of the spatial construction and significance of inns situated in Xinduqiao Town along the Sichuan-Tibet tourism route, from the perspective of innkeepers. The study reveals that the spatial configuration of Xinduqiao inns is firmly entrenched in various environments—physical, operational, cultural, social, and living. Concurrently, these spaces were actively shaped through various forms of mobility, encompassing material, social relationships, and emotional flows. Innkeepers adeptly utilize localization and mobility strategies to portray these establishments as spaces imbued with significant subjective meaning. The inns integrate standardized designs and services with localized symbols and thematic elements from beyond the region, resulting in a surreal, assembling, and trans-local composite of material space.Moreover, Innkeepers interlink through complex social networks, endowing the inns with characteristics of extensibility and lack of boundaries, thus presenting them as open social spaces. Furthermore, through a strategic escaping from their original living environments, geographic imagination of Xinduqiao, and social identification fostered through interpersonal interactions, these operators transform their inns into spaces conducive to emotional healing.

Under the background of Rural Revitalization, with a substantial inflow of capital into rural areas, the positive interaction between capital and the countryside becomes crucial. This paper introduces the "embedding theory" and constructs an analytical framework to explore the characteristics and mechanisms of capital embedding in rural areas. By examining a typical rural case with general basic conditions in the suburbs of Wuhan, the results show that: 1) For the revitalization of general rural areas, it is necessary to integrate resources and make joint efforts to develop, so as to continuously promote the benign reconstruction of space, economy and society. 2) The embeddedness of capital subjects is manifested in two dimensions: interaction with village authorities and interaction with villagers. 3) There are differences in the embeddedness of enterprises. 4) The key for rural revitalization lies in realizing the core political and cognitive embeddedness of rural elites, firmly grasping the developmental authority relying on land, and ensuring the multidimensional embeddedness of enterprises with conditional access.

Based on the perspective of "intra-household labor division", this paper conducts an empirical analysis on large low-income residential areas in Nanjing, explores commuting routes of different groups under "multiple situations", compares and interprets the types of restrictions and spatio-temporal response patterns, and further verifies the influencing factors of commuting behavior through a model. The findings indicates: 1) 21 commuting routes were selected from 36 possible situations by three groups of commuting under the interaction of time, space and family division of labor. 2) Different family division of labor mode, the commuter travel space and family division travel participation has different correlation, mainly reflected in the intergenerational division of family labor and other division of labor mode; 3) It shows that the intrahousehold labor division of intermediary effect, such as the family size and constitute the more complex, the more employment, the more likely to trigger the intergenerational division of family model.

Taking the Huaihai Street, Suzhou as an example, this paper aims to investigate the characteristics, the dynamic changing process and transformation mechanism of the transnational ethnic economic space in China. Based on participation observation and in-depth interviews, this paper finds that, the formation of the transnational ethnic economy in Huaihai Street has been highly dependent on the habitat-based behavior and ethnic demand of Japanese transmigrants brought by the global restructuring of transnational corporations. Local entrepreneurs and employees, and Japanese transmigrant consumers were main components of this type of economy. As China is a non-immigrant country, the economy run by the Japanese transmigrants in Huaihai Street could be regarded as an informal but important public service for transmigrants. New local forces (e.g., the local government, Vanke, non-ethnic consumers including local residents and tourists) have now gradually replaced the Japanese transmigrants and played dominant roles in the transformation process of economic space.

Directing both tourists and residents to share development achievements and co-create value is a critical topic for upgrading and iterating rural tourism toward the goal of common prosperity. However, existing research has predominantly examined the mechanism of residents' value co-creation behavior from an economic interest perspective while overlooking the role of non-economic factors. Building on the social capital theory, a structural equation model is proposed to investigate the influence mechanism of community participation on resident-tourist value co-creation behavior. The mediating effect of social capital in the relationship between community participation and resident-tourist value co-creation behavior is tested, as well as the moderating role of resident-tourist interaction. A total of 560 valid questionnaires are collected from residents in five rural tourism communities around Mount Tai scenic spot in Shandong Province and used for empirical analysis. Findings suggest that community participation can induce resident-tourist value cocreation behavior. Social capital significantly mediates the relationships between community participation and resident-tourist value co-creation behavior. Furthermore, resident-tourist interaction is also found to moderate the effect of community participation on social capital.

A comprehensive model of ski tourists' sports addiction was built, and empirical data was gathered from the Baiyun International Ski Resort in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of Northwest China. A total of 319 valid data were collected through a questionnaire survey, and a structural equation modeling approach was conducted for the empirical test to explore the formation mechanism of ski tourists' sports addiction. The results showed that, firstly, skiing tourism motivation has a significant positive impact on involvement, flow experience, and self-efficacy. Secondly, self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on involvement. Thirdly, involvement has a significant positive impact on the flow experience and skiing addiction, and flow experience has a significant positive impact on skiing addiction. Fourthly, the study also confirmed that both involvement and flow experience played a mediating role between skiing tourism motivation and skiing addiction, and involvement played a mediating role between self-efficacy and skiing addiction.

The rapid proliferation of social media has significantly amplified the influence of tourists' online sharing behaviors on destination reputations and consumer decision-making processes. IGrounded in the theoretical frameworks of Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory and the Cognitive Appraisal Theory of Emotion, this study systematically examines the causal pathways through which tourists' perceived negative disconfirmation shapes their intentions to share experiences online. Empirical findings reveal that when tourists' actual experiences fall short of their pre-travel expectations, the resultant perception of negative disconfirmation consistently triggers adverse emotional states, such as frustration and disappointment. The study shows that experienced tourists tend to exhibit lower levels of negative emotional reactions when faced with negative discrepancies compared to less experienced tourists. This finding not only enriches the application of Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory in tourism but also reveals the underlying mechanisms of tourists' intentions to engage in online sharing behavior.

One of the characteristics of geography is its comprehensiveness. Hence, making the interrelation and integration of its branches is crucial. However, the logical framework of how cultural geography integrates into the human geography system (hereafter referred to as the "embedding logic") and its interrelation with other branches of human geography have not been sufficiently explored. This paper uses the literature method to summaries four embedding logical frameworks: Pepper's World Hypothesis, Sauer's cultural landscape, place defined by humanistic geography, and Soja's trialectics of spatiality. Subsequently, an attempt is made to integrate the four embedding logical frameworks through a case study. The main conclusions of this paper are as following. Firstly, although each of the four embedding logical frameworks has its own perspective, each of them can be integrated to the rest three. Secondly, cultural geography based on a sense of place and spatial concepts, represents a force of consciousness that can be embedded within the human geography system.

Exploring the evolution and influencing factors of the spatial distribution of data centers in China is of great significance for promoting the construction of a green, intensive, balanced, and interconnected nationwide integrated data center system, thereby supporting the development of the digital economy. The study, based on the data from Chinese data centers from 2016 to 2022, employs methods such as the nearest neighbor index, imbalance index, and kernel density analysis to elucidate the evolutionary characteristics of the spatial distribution of data centers. Additionally, it utilizes a negative binomial regression model to further investigate the factors influencing the spatial distribution of data centers. The results show that: 1) The spatial distribution of data centers exhibits a significant hierarchical effect, evolving from the initial "east > central > west" gradient pattern to a new pattern of "east > west > central," and it is gradually progressing towards a national integrated data center system characterized by green, intensive, balanced, and interconnected features. 2) The agglomeration and regional disequilibrium characteristics of data centers are evident, showing a pattern of "dense east and sparse west" with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta regions as the core clusters. 3) Multiple factors, including cost control, policy environment, and market demand jointly influence the spatial distribution of data centers.

As an emerging domain in human geography, the current food geography is calling for further deeper empirical studies, as well as interdisciplinary theoretical debates. For the case, the Hakka is a branch of the Han ethnic group with distinct ethnic characteristics and has retained many elements of ancient Han culture to date. This paper deploys the social practice theory to explain Hakka wedding banquets. Taking Nanxiong of Guangdong as an empirical case, and using the research methods of participatory observation, in-depth and group interviews, the researchers specifically collected information on details of wedding banquet processes as well as social and cultural backgrounds that are concerned. There are two inclusions. Firstly, family culture, home space and clan are presented through the practices of wedding banquet production and consumption. Second, Hakka wedding banquet as a bundle of established practices mirrors the modern change and inheritance of belief of "family", home space and clan order.

Rural migrant women, as marginalized and vulnerable groups in urban society, are of great importance in research on mental health and social support mechanisms, which are crucial for achieving the goals of a Healthy China. This study, based on the current state of mental health and social support among rural migrant women, employs multiple linear regression models and mediation effect tests to examine the mechanisms through which social support influences their mental health. The results reveal the following: First, significant disparities exist in mental health levels among rural migrant women with different socioeconomic attributes. Groups exhibiting higher mental health levels include older generations, married individuals, those with lower educational attainment, longer durations of residence, employment in the service or commercial sectors, and individuals who own homes. Second, informal social networks (including family members, friends, and neighbors) serve as the primary source of support for rural migrant women, while formal social networks (including the government, community, and social organizations) provide only limited support. Third, different types of social support exhibit varying impacts on mental health. Emotional support from family members, friends, and neighbors significantly enhances mental health. Fourth, the mediating effects of social support vary across different sources and types. Social companionship support from family members positively mediates mental health outcomes.

Tourism space is not only the basic problem of tourism geography, but also the research intersection of tourism geography, tourism sociology, tourism economics and many other branches of tourism. Since the 1960s, under the background of the spatial transformation of social science research and the cultural transformation of geographical research, the discussion on space ontology in the academic circle has tended to be diversified, and the understanding of tourism space has also changed and presented a fuzzy trend. At present, many researches in China are entitled "tourism space", but the responses to the basic questions of what is tourism space and its characteristics are unclear. This paper reviews the relevant achievements of tourism space research and takes into account the differences in spatial research from different disciplinary perspectives. According to the research, "tourism space is a derivative space formed in the interaction process of tourists and tourists." Its essence is a place attached with tourism significance. The coupling of different dimensions of tourism system and different levels of space system forms the interactive structure of tourism space system, and gives birth to the fluidity, fuzziness, correlation, compound and symbolic characteristics of tourism space. Through the integration of different disciplinary perspectives, the research discusses the connotation and characteristics of tourism space from the perspective of interaction, trying to break the limitation of understanding "tourism space" as a "container" of tourism activities, and relevant discussions are conducive to deepening the research on the basic theories of tourism geography, and provide a dialogue platform for the interdisciplinary analysis of tourism space.

Young talents are a crucial component of national strategic talent reserves and play a significant role in the high-quality development of cities. This study, based on the life course perspective, examines the entire process of spatial choices made by highly educated young talents in Beijing and Wuhan through indepth interviews. Utilizing NVivo for open coding and principal axis analysis, the study explores the underlying motivations and mechanisms behind their spatial decisions. The findings reveal that: 1) The spatial choice behavior of young talents exhibits distinct phased characteristics. During the initial selection, there is a significant upward mobility trend, while subsequent choices show a diversification trend. 2) From the perspective of the life course, the mobility of young talents is a complex game influenced by multiple factors, with significant differences in the dominant influencing factors at different stages. This study, by adopting a life course perspective, addresses the limitations of existing research that overly emphasizes urban factors. It provides a scientific basis for cities to formulate talent attraction policies and holds significant implications for achieving high-quality urban development and the "talent-driven nation" strategy.

The cultivation of innovation network is an important factor for anchoring urban innovation space and shaping urban innovation environment. Especially from the micro-subject perspective, it is possible to develop a more profound explanation of the process and mechanism of innovation network formation. Therefore, taking Nanjing as an example, on the basis of identifying the scope of urban innovation space by using patent application data and 'Getis-Ord Gi*' method, we construct the innovation network of Nanjing's innovation space one by one applying the information of cooperative relationship in cooperative patent application data. The results found that: 1) From the perspective of scale type, there are differences in the scale composition of innovation linkages in urban innovation spaces; 2) From the perspective of organisation type, urban innovation space can be divided into core subject discrete, core subject combined, multi-subject discrete, and multi-subject combined; 3) The attributes of innovation subjects are an important reason for the differences in the characteristics of urban innovation space network types, and this phenomenon that can be explained by multi-dimensional proximities.

Researches on the sense of place in grassroots society mainly focuses on the experiences and facts of agricultural societies. Additionally, studies on the changes of the nomadic environment in northern pastoral areas focuses on the livelihood difficulties, community disintegration, and ecological degradation issues since the reform of the grassland property rights system, and have not yet paid attention to the individual internalized emotional psychology, such as emotions, memories, and practices, as well as the changes in the sense of place triggered by them at the micro level. Taking Damao Banner in Inner Mongolia, which has undergone the reform of grassland property rights system, as an example, and putting in field investigation in the context of changes of the nomadic living environment, this study investigates how grassroots herders in northern pastoral areas construct and reconstruct the sense of place through emotions, concepts, psychology, and life experiences. Results indicate that ①During the period of the People's Commune, herders continued to construct an orderly nomadic space and a stable and enclosed symbiotic acquaintance social relationship through nomadic practices. ②The privatization of grassland property rights has accelerated the fragmentation of pastoral society and the pulling and restructuring of social relationships. ③In the modern context of modernization without nomadic life in practice, "nomadism" has become a cultural symbol sealed in the memories and traditional rituals of herders.

The demand for new experience is reshaping the cognitive boundaries of tourists, and studying the host-guest relationship following an emotional paradigm has become an important part of destination management. However, the mechanism of emotional improvement in host-guest interaction in tourism has been ignored. Introducing emotional energy into the study of host-guest relationships, this study constructs and tests the structural relationship between place social bonding, host-guest empathy and emotional solidarity (feeling welcomed, emotional closeness and sympathetic understanding)using the experimental method and structural equation method. The paths linkage between the variables represent the mechanism of emotional improvement and the formation of emotional solidarity. In this way, the formation path and boundary conditions of tourists' emotional solidarity toward residents are examined. The results show that: 1) The two experiments verify that the place social bonding significantly and positively impact their emotional solidarity toward residents, and host-guest empathy plays a partial mediating role between the two variables; 2) A questionnaire survey of Hangzhou tourists further verifies the robustness of the theoretical model and supports the three-level path of emotional solidarity formation (initial →intensifying process→ a higher-level), and the emotional upgrade chain driven by emotional energy is established; 3) There are boundary conditions in the formation pathway of emotional solidarity. Tourists' attachment styles moderates the formation path of place social bonding on host-guest empathy and place social bonding on emotional solidarity. Finally, the conclusions provide insights for building harmonious host-guest relationships and destination management. Important theoretical implications are provided.

Scientific research and judgment of the action mechanism and internal impact of digital economy on the efficiency of cultural and tourism integration is an important topic to release the value of digital economy, promote the integration of cultural and tourism industry to improve quality and efficiency. This paper attempts to integrate digital economy and the integration efficiency of cultural and tourism industry into a unified analytical framework. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2012 to 2021, this paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation system for the development level of digital economy and the integration efficiency of cultural and tourism industries, then clears out the spatial-temporal evolution characteristics of the two, and uses the spatial econometric model and the intermediary effect model to reveal the spatial effect and transmission mechanism of the integration efficiency of cultural and tourism industries enabled by digital economy. The results show that: 1) the development level of digital economy presents a steady upward trend, showing a spatial distribution pattern of "high in southeast, low in northwest, and balanced in central"，and the regional digital divide is gradually closing. 2) The integration efficiency of cultural and tourism industry as a whole presents an "inverted S-shaped" temporal change trend, showing a spatial differentiation characteristic of "high in southeast and low in northwest", and the regional gap tends to shrink during the study period. 3) The spatial Durbin model shows that the spatial spillover effect of digital economy enabling cultural and tourism industry integration efficiency is nonlinear. The local effect is an "inverted U" shape, and the neighborhood effect is a "U" shape.

On the basis of clarifying the concept of resilience in traditional village cultural landscapes, a resilience analysis framework is constructed from three dimensions: Resistance, adaptability, and transformation. Taking Luxiang village in Suzhou as an example, the papaer analyzes the evolution process of cultural landscape driven by tourism, so as to reveal its evolution mechanism by grounded theory. The results indicate that: 1) Since the development of tourism, the adaptive cycle of the cultural landscape system in Luxiang village has gone through four stages: exploration, conservation, release, and reorganization, corresponding to the initial period, the flourishing development period, the stagnation and recession period, and the reconstruction and revival period of tourism exploration. 2) The evolution of resilience of the cultural landscape of traditional villages is characterized by phases and fluctuations, but the resilience capacity as a whole shows a spiral upward trend, and realizes the core driving force from resistance to transformation. 3) Diversified resources is the source of strength for the formation of resilience, multiple subjects co-governance is the organizational foundation of resilience construction, multi-level response is the inner link of resilience growth, and multi-means integration is the innovative path of resilience breakthrough.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have made the internet attention economy a driver of regional development and transformed urban spatial structure. Based on the data from different sources, including Sina Weibo check-ins, Point of Interest (POI) data, and socio-economic statistics from China's four megacities (e.g., Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen), this study examines the impact of internet popularity on urban space of beverage consumption using various spatial econometric models. The results show that: 1) The distributions of internet popularity and brand beverage shops are spatially correlated. 2) The impact of internet popularity on the spatial distribution of beverage shops varies considerably across business types and regions. 3) Internet popularity makes the distribution of beverage shops less reliant on traditional factors (e. g., rent, public transportation accessibility, and population density) which are regarded as essential to location choices of commercial facilitates.

Urban and rural areas represent two symbiotic, co-evolving systems. they constitute the broader urban-rural regional framework system Collectively. As a link between urban and rural, county is an important entry point for research on urban-rural integration. Therefore, it is particularly vital to sort out the mechanism of urban-rural integration development and evolution from the perspective of county. Taking county territory of Fujian province as research unit, the paper constructs a multi-dimensional evaluation index system of urban-rural population, economy, society, ecology and space to measure the level of urban-rural integration from 2011 to 2020, and explores its spatiotemporal coupling relationship and transition mechanism with the methods of LISA spatio-temporal path, LISA spatial-temporal transition and quantile regression. The results indicate that: 1) The development level of urban-rural integration of counties in Fujian province continues to improve, showing the differentiation characteristics of "high-value areas clustering in western Fujian, loosing in eastern Fujian; low-value areas clustering in southern and northern Fujian", and the spatial agglomeration has a weakening trend. 2) Generally speaking, the spatial pattern of the urban-rural integration is relatively stable in Fujian province, with weak spatial dependence and strong spatial integration. 3) The factor-driven models of the urban-rural integration are "economy-education-government" low-quantile driver, "industry-income" low-quantile constraint, "industry-labor force" high-quantile driver and "government-income" high-quantile constraint in Fujian province.

Promoting the high-quality development of tourism industry is the strategic focus and inevitable choice of tourism industry development in the new era. Based on the five dimensions of the new development concept, this paper constructs the quality evaluation index system of China's tourism economic development, uses the entropy method to measure the quality level of China's tourism economic development from 2011 to 2019, and analyzes its spatio-temporal evolution characteristics. The fixed-effect model is used to examine the impact of the upgrading of factor endowment structure, informatization and informatization intermediary on the development quality of China's tourism economy. The study found: 1) The development quality of China's tourism economy showed a trend of continuous improvement during the study period. 2) The upgrading of factor endowment structure is the basis and driving force for improving the development quality of China's tourism economy, and has a positive promoting effect on both the development quality of China's tourism economy and the level of informatization. 3) The ratio of capital to labor input has a significant promoting effect on the development quality of tourism economy in the eastern region, but has no significant effect on the central and western regions, while the endowment of scenic spots only has a significant impact on the central region.

Rapid urbanization has led to great changes in residents' lifestyles, with chronic diseases becoming a major problem troubling urban public health. Carrying out daily leisure activities has become a critical strategy for improving the health conditions of older adults. Taking Hefei City as a case study, this study deploys a structural equation model(SEM) with daily leisure activities as the mediating variable to explore the mediating role of daily leisure activities in the relationship between the community built environment and the health conditions of older adults.The study aims to clarify the pathways through which the community built environment impacts the health conditions of older adults. The key empirical results are as follows. 1) older adults in Hefei exhibit high satisfaction with their self-rated health status. A significant negative correlation is observed between the prevalence of chronic diseases and self-rated physical health, with Body Mass Index (BMI)being positively associated with chronic disease prevalence. 2)The objective built environment, perceived built environment, and daily leisure activities all have significant positive impacts on the health conditions of older adults, among which the perceived built environment plays the most contributory role. 3) The influence of the community built environment on the health conditions of older adults exerts through three main pathways.

Pets have consistently played a significant role in providing emotional comfort and companionship in the daily lives of humans. However, despite this crucial role, pet owners often face numerous restrictions and challenges when attempting to engage in public leisure activities with their pets. This paper constructs a model of pet owners' leisure behavior, utilizing the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis(fsQCA) method. This method allows for an in-depth analysis of how various factors, including leisure motivation, leisure constraints, and negotiation strategies, interact and influence the behavior of pet owners when they engage in public leisure activities with their pets. The findings of this study are multifaceted and highlight several key insights: 1) The participation of pet owners in public leisure activities is characterized by its complexity. 2) Low pet constraints and high pet attachment are crucial conditions for high-frequency leisure participation with pets. Cognitive enhancement, interpersonal coordination, and expenditure calculation negotiation strategies have differentiated effects on high-frequency leisure participation with pets. 3) Negotiation strategies can interact with leisure constraints to mitigate the limiting effects of leisure constraints on leisure participation with pets. 4) Finally, the research identifies that female pet owners with lower levels of education, as well as older individuals with higher income levels, are the primary demographics that actively participate in public leisure activities with their pets.
