Abstract

Space-time distribution, evolution regularity and interaction between tourist flow and related factors are basic and prerequisite to make good tourism decision. There are many difficult problems in current tourist flow research, the variety and complexity of data sources, the dispersion of theories and models, the difficulty and complexity in analysis, rebuilding and express of process characteristics and so on. In this paper, model integration framework for space-time characteristics analysis is constructed in terms of the sorting results on kinds of existing spatio-temporal characteristics, process, and interaction models. With ArcGIS Engine as a basis platform, we build the GIS prototype system supporting space-time characteristics analysis and representation. Based on the unified storage and management of multiple data, the system built a unified data structure, many data interfaces and one kind of data analysis process, which support spatio-temporal characteristics analysis and visual display; based on the model integration framework in the paper, integrated these representative analysis models, realize the analysis of spatio-temporal characteristics, process, and interactions between; in the end, gave a deep analysis and good express for spatio-temporal characteristics and processes. Case studies suggest our system can: ①reveal the different phases and cyclical patterns of flow evolution and indicate the temporal and spatial pattern, variation, concentration and proliferation; ② show the spatial patterns and process of tourist flow and its relevant elements, the time and space clustering characteristics of tourist flow evolution; ③ display the space-time configuration and spatial interaction between tourist flows and the related elements and comprehensive evaluation on structure and process of spatial interactions; and ④ provide visualization of spatial-temporal characteristics and process. Our work can provide efficient tools and methods for tourist flow researches.
