Abstract

This study is based on POI data of A-level scenic spots, transportation, catering, and accommodation facilities in Nanchong, combined with geographic data such as administrative divisions and Digital Elevation Model (DEM). By employing GIS spatial statistical methods including kernel density analysis and standard deviational ellipse analysis, this research systematically investigates the spatial distribution characteristics and core influencing factors of cultural and tourism resources in Nanchong. The findings reveal that the spatial distribution of scenic spots in Nanchong exhibits significant spatial imbalance. Topography and transportation are key factors influencing resource distribution, with low-altitude areas more prone to scenic spot agglomeration and higher scenic spot densities along high-grade road corridors. Scenic spots form a concentric collaborative layout with catering, accommodation, and transportation facilities. Based on these conclusions, development and management recommendations are proposed from four dimensions: spatial layout optimization, hierarchical structure improvement, transportation support enhancement, and supporting facilities coordination, providing scientific foundations for the high-quality development of cultural and tourism industry in Nanchong.
