随着中部地区城市群综合经济实力的增强,区域内的旅游经济联系将更加紧密,区域旅游合作将更加深入.以旅游空间结构相关理论为依据,运用社会网络分析的方法,对中部地区城市群48个城市间旅游空间结构进行实证研究,得出4 点结论:①中部地区城市群区域空间旅游经济联系程度较低,但6 个城市子群区域旅游经济联系呈现不同的水平;②长株潭城市群与皖江城市带与太原经济圈旅游一体化水平较高,武汉城市圈旅游一体化水平出于较低水平;③武汉、郑州、合肥、洛阳、长沙、九江、南昌的通达性良好,经济联系最为紧密,但中部地区城市群城市空间旅游经济联系网络关系中存在着不均衡,武汉、郑州、合肥、洛阳、长沙、南昌的核心地位较高;④中部地区城市群空间旅游经济联系网络中存在3 个子群1 个首位中心,子群城市都与武汉的联系较为密切,而子群城市相互之间的联系较少,网络中存在明显的结构分层.最后提出中部地区城市群旅游经济空间结构优化和“无障碍”旅游经济的一体化的发展建议.
With the comprehensive economic strength of the Middle Area of Chi-na, the tourism economic ties more closely within the region, regional tourism cooperation more in-depth, a higher demand on the regional tourism spatial structure. This paper analyses the tourism economic relations and structure of 48 cities in the Middle Area of China, based on related theories of the tourism spatial structure, by the use of the social network analysis, achieves 4 conclusions: ①Spatial tourism economic link degree of the Middle Area of China is low, but tourism economy affiliation levels of the 6 city subgroup are different; ②tourism integration level of the changsha-zhuzhou-xiangtan city cluster,Wanjiang City Belt and Taiyuan economic circle is higher, but Wuhan city circle low level; ③accessibility of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Lu-oyang, Changsha, Jiujiang,Nanchang is good, most close economic link, but spa-tial tourism economic link network is an imbalance, the core status of Wuhan, Zhengzhou, Hefei, Luoyang, Changsha, Nanchang is high; ④there are 3 subgroups of 1 first center in spatial tourism economy network of the Middle Area of China, link between subgroups and Wuhan city is more closely, and the rela-tionship between subgroups is less, there was a network hierarchical struc-ture. Finally,put forward proposal for spatial structure optimization and"barrier-free" integration in tourism economy of the Middle Area of China.
