选取山西省为中部地区的典型案例区,分析了1997-2004年和2005-2011年两个时间断面山西入境旅游流扩散转移的流向与流量、转移竞争态、位序—规模和等级规模结构等特征,并进行对比分析.结果表明,山西入境旅游流的扩散规模越来越集中在少数几个省市;,其转移格局属于核心极化阶段的首位型空间格局,旅游流的等级规模维持了四级梯度的阶梯状规模分布结构.
Selected Shanxi Province as typical case area of the central region, this paper analyzed the direction and scale, the state of transfer competition,the rank- size and hierarchical structure of inbound tourism flows in two periods from 1997 to 2004 and from 2005 to 2011 .The results showed that the diffusion scale of inbound tourism flows in Shanxi Province was increasingly concentrated in a few provinces and cities, the spatial pat- tern of tourism flows belonged to the first type of spatial pattern, and it was still in the stage of eore polarization, the hierarchical scale of tourism flows maintained for the structure of stepped scale distribution which had four gradients.
