中文摘要：

以莆田市185个旅游吸引物为研究对象,分析滨海区域中小城市旅游吸引物空间结构特征.借助GoogleEarth,MapInfo等地理信息系统工具确定研究对象具体空间位置并对其空间结构特征进行分析.结果表明,受莆田历史渊源、区域文化等人文因素的影响,人文观光类旅游吸引物的数量最多,且主要分布在城市核心区域内,人工娱乐类和运动休闲类等＂市场导向型＂的旅游吸引物数量较少;以城市中心距离为指标,发现莆田旅游吸引物空间分布存在着两个密集区,总体上呈距离衰减趋势;受海陆地理环境的影响,莆田市乡村旅游带呈不规则扇形发展模式.

Tourist attractions（TAs） plays an increasingly important role in the development of area.So it would be necessary to analyze TA type and spatial structure features in order to guide to build tourism/recreation establishments of region.The categories method of TA is provided based on literatures of tourism study in China,with which 185 TAs in Putian City are divided into four main categories,namely,human sight seeing TAs,natural sight seeing TAs,artificial entertainments and sports TAs.The spatial structure features of TAs in Putian City are summarized by virtue of software Google Earth,MapInfo and other statistic methods.The main findings are as follows：By the influence of cultural factors,such as historical origin,regional culture of Putian City,the most of TAs are human sight-seeings,which are distributed in the core area of Putian City.The number of artificial entertainments and sports TAs is relatively small belonging to the market-oriented type.With the index of distance from the core area of city to the location of tourist attraction,there are two dense TAs in Putian City showing range attenuation.Influenced by the land-sea geographical environment,the rural tourism belt and urban tourism circle of Putian City presente an irregular fan-shaped developing mode missing a piece by the sea.
