Abstract:
The Gan-Qing-Ning region is abundant in traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage. Investigating their spatial relationships and influencing factors is crucial for their future preservation and transmission. This study focuses on 325 traditional villages and 199 intangible cultural heritage items in the Gan-Qing-Ning region, employing methodologies such as kernel density analysis, gravity center model, spatial dislocation distance and index, and geographic detector to examine the spatial associations and driving forces behind them. The findings reveal that: The spatial distribution of traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage in the Gan-Qing-Ning region is uneven, exhibiting an overall pattern characterized by density in the east and sparsity in the west. Furthermore, the distribution of traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage demonstrates a degree of spatial aggregation, resulting in a distribution pattern of one core, three centers, and multiple points and one core and multiple points respectively; At the overall, provincial, and municipal levels within the Gan-Qing-Ning region, there exists a dislocation phenomenon in the spatial distribution of traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage. The spatial dislocation across each municipality is categorized into four types, with traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage exhibiting distinct dominant distribution areas; The spatial distribution patterns of traditional villages and intangible cultural heritage are jointly influenced by natural and socio-economic factors, with the primary influencing factors for each being different, leading to a dislocated relationship in the final spatial distribution outcomes.
