Spatial Configuration and Online Attention: A Space Syntax Perspective

Abstract

Abstract:The spatial behavior of tourists is an important part of the research on congestion management and sustainable planning of tourism destinations. Combined with user-generated content (UGC) and site-based survey data, this study conducted an overlaying analysis between street network configurations that resulted from space syntax and tourist preferences. Based on space syntax, tourist movement is influenced by the distribution of scenic spots and the structure of tourist trails in scenic mountain areas. The results reveal that the distribution of scenic spots has a significant impact on tourist flow and visitors' choices of entrance to the mountain; the volume of online sign-ins is highly correlated with landscape attention, axial control values and the local integration value of the trails; and tourists' attention focuses on the entrance area and the few tourist-sight markers. This study advances the understanding of the spatial patterns of within-destination tourist behavior; this knowledge will be helpful in alleviating congestion in mountain scenic areas and providing effective guidance for tourists to plan an ideal tour route.

Research on the Optimization Strategy of Shopping Mall Spatial Layout in Hefei Based on Space Syntax Theory

“…e nodal space of the shopping center, as a place where people flow and stay, requires a strong sense of penetration, so as to ensure that the space has a better sense of sequence [7]. e higher the recognition, the more helpful it is to establish the structure of the entire space to strengthen the space guidance [8]. Accessibility affects the vitality of the space and predicts whether the flow of people can reach the target location smoothly.…”

Spatial Distribution and Influencing Factors of High-Level Tourist Attractions in China: A Case Study of 9296 A-Level Tourist Attractions

“…Regarding the spatial distribution of tourist attractions, more attention is being paid to the spatial structure characteristics of tourist regions, the influence of transportation infrastructure on the spatial structure of tourist attractions, and the spatial distribution rules of tourist attractions [19][20][21]. The analysis methods used in existing studies include fractal theory, geographic concentration index, spatial syntax, and spatial statistical analysis [22,23]. The biggest advantage of these spatial analysis methods is that spatial data can be processed, analyzed, and visualized to reveal the spatial relationships and trends concerning the data; for example, the level of geographic concentration index can be used to judge the degree of concentration of the elements within the space.…”

Typology of Public Open Space in Peri-Urban Unplanned Settlement. Case Study: Kampong of Kalipaten, Tangerang, Indonesia

“…One of the places to accommodate interaction activities between residents is public open space. Spatial studies in residential areas should always pay attention to spatial patterns that facilitate social interaction among residents (Omer & Goldblatt, 2012;Liu et al, 2018;Carrilho & Trindade, 2022). Through the study of these spatial patterns, one can explore comprehensively including physical elements, namely buildings and open spaces and non-physical elements in the form of economic, social, and cultural activities of the inhabitants (Omer & Goldblatt, 2012).…”
