Study on the evolution of B&Bs spatial distribution based on exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and its influencing factors—with Yangtze River Delta as an example

Abstract

In the "era of sharing economy 2.0", China's B&Bs industry enjoys rapid development as a new business format, boosting regional economy to reach a new height. This paper selects the Yangtze River Delta region, China's largest economic zone, as the research area, and takes exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA) and GIS to study the agglomeration characteristics and evolutionary trajectories of B&Bs spatial patterns amid 2013-2017. The results indicate that: (1) B&Bs in the Yangtze River Delta region exhibit balanced development. (2) From the perspective of global spatial autocorrelation analysis, B&Bs spatial distribution features significant spatial autocorrelation, with spatial agglomeration degree on the rise. (3) From the perspective of local spatial autocorrelation analysis, it gradually shows a gradual decreasing pattern from the east to the west, forming a significant high concentration of eastern cities and a low concentration of western cities. By comparing the results of the 3 years, Huzhou and Shanghai showed a significant high concentration from 2013 to 2015, and neighboring cities such as Suzhou, Jiaxing and Hangzhou have shown a high approaching trend, indicating that in recent years, the development awareness of the industry is converging. (4) The four factors: endowment of tourism resources, transportation convenience, policy conditions and residents' living standards exert important influences on B&Bs spatial distribution.

Econometric Analysis of Leisure Agriculture and Rural Tourism Scenery Based on Spatial Data Analysis

“…1 proposes to make use of rural special industries and cultural connotations, develop leisure tourism and catering B&B that can meet the needs of urban and rural residents, realize the optimal allocation of rural resources, and develop new service industry in the countryside. The integration of agriculture with other industries, especially with tourism, is becoming a new driving force for agricultural economic growth, and rural tourism has become an effective way to promote the re-employment of farmers and improve the rural environment [ 3 ].…”

Research on Urban Medical and Health Services Efficiency and Its Spatial Correlation in China: Based on Panel Data of 13 Cities in Jiangsu Province

“…It can measure the aggregation or dispersion of the spatial element attributes of the study object [ 39 ]. It mainly includes global spatial autocorrelation analysis and local spatial autocorrelation analysis [ 40 ]. This study used global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis to reveal the overall spatial correlation and internal correlation characteristics of the medical and health services efficiency in a comprehensive manner.…”

Understanding Accessibility of Health and Fitness with Big Data Techniques: Facility Visualization in Shanghai with Multi-Source Data

“…The spatial scope of data collection in this study is mainly the administrative jurisdiction of 16 districts and counties in Shanghai, with the community as the smallest spatial unit. The residential population data studied came from the 2021 population statistics of Shanghai, and the data on HFFs at all levels mainly came from the 2021 network POI data of Gaode Map, the 2021 Google satellite aerial map, the 2021 Shanghai Facilities Statistics Spatial autocorrelation analysis studies the correlation between spatial samples and their surrounding samples, reflecting the distribution characteristics of spatial samples, which are mainly divided into global autocorrelation and local autocorrelation (Qiu et al, 2021. In this paper, the local Moran's I is selected as the measurement index to observe the spatial distribution characteristics of HFFs in Guangzhou.…”
