借用空间场理论的场能、位势、空间场的地域结构等分析方法,以四川省为研究对象,分析了1997年-2001年和2002年-2006年两个时间断面入境旅游流的集聚场能和辐射场能以及相对位势和绝对位势,分别构建了两个时间断面入境旅游流空间场的地域结构,在此基础上对两个时期内四川省入境旅游流的集聚效应和辐射效应进行对比分析,结果显示:四川省入境旅游流的空间场效应有增强的趋势,且其集聚效应明显强于辐射效应;多省市典型区域内都有一个高等级场能中心,广东、北京、上海、云南、陕西、江苏五省市是四川省跨区域旅游合作的重点地域,加强与环渤海区域的旅游通道建设,是四川省实现旅游流空间流向合理调整与流量结构优化的关键。
By applying spatial field theory of to research on tourism, considering the tourism field as the basic existence of tourist activities, which has energy, momentum and quality. It operates and affects the centralization and expansion of tourism flows, employing the energy, potential energy, and regional structure of the field, which are analytical methods from spatial field theory. We selected Sichuan province as the case study for this research, and analyzed the centralized energy and radiant energy and the opposite potential and unconditional potential of inbound tourist flow via Sichuan province based on statistical data on inbound tourist flows from 1997 to 2006. Based on variation in field energy, we classified all provinces into three categories and designated the regional structure of the spatial field into two periods, from 1997 to 2001 and from 2002 to 2006. By contrasting the centralized effect and radiant effect in two periods, the result shows that there is a enhanced trend in the spatial field effect, and the centralized effect of inbound tourist flow in Sichuan province is stronger than its radiant effect. The strength of inbound tourist flow for regions in eastern China is stronger than in western China. Among the five typical regions, the inbound tourist flow between Sichuan province and the Pearl River Delta is far stronger than that between Sichuan province and other regions. The source of centralized tourist flows and the destination of radiant tourist flows became more scattered, and the centralized effect and radiant effect became more balanced between areas. The quantity of tourist flow channels whose flow rate exceeded 10000 persons was 10 during the first period, and increased to 13 in the second period, which shows that compared to the first period, the centralized effect and radiant effect of inbound tourist flows in Sichuan province were greatly improved in the second period, and the effect of spatial fields became more balanced among regions. The regional structure of the spatial field
