Abstract

With the development of service industry and promotion of culture industry, urban leisure and entertainment industry have gradually become an important symbol and driving force for urban economic and social development. KTV is a typical representative of the urban leisure and cultural entertainment services in China. Based on the geospatial entity data and business statistics data, this paper studies the market structure, spatial distribution and spatial expansion characteristics of KTV facilities in mainland China, using the spatial data visualization and the statistical analysis of GIS technology. Results show that KTV services have been rapidly developed and widely distributed across the whole country. The spatial distributions of KTV services were analyzed at national, provincial and city levels respectively, and they presented distinct characteristics including regional differentiation, urban hierarchy divergence, planar equalization, and central agglomeration. The relations between the spatial distribution and the influence factors, such as regional economy, population, and culture, were also investigated. All types of KTV facilities expand spatially from east to west and from the center to surrounding areas. In addition, among all types of KTV facilities, the KTV chains follow the geographical diffusion principles according to social economic phenomena research, which mainly include characteristics of hierarchy diffusion and contiguous diffusion.
