Abstract:

Based on the spatial data of national and provincial intangible cultural heritage (ICH) projects in Xinjiang, this study integrates relevant physical geographical environment and social, economic and cultural data, and adopts nearest neighbor analysis, kernel density estimation and spatial autocorrelation analysis to study the spatial distribution and agglomeration characteristics of ICH in Xinjiang. The geodetector model was used to explore the physical factors, economic factors and sociocultural factors affecting the spatial distribution of ICH in Xinjiang. The results show that the spatial distribution of ICH in Xinjiang is more in the north and less in the south, mainly concentrated in Kashgar, Yili, Tacheng, Bazhou and Urumqi. Traditional music and Traditional skills are the main categories of ICH, while traditional art, Quyi and drama are less distributed. The ICH of Xinjiang has obvious spatial agglomeration characteristics, and different types of ICH have different agglomeration degrees, among which traditional skills, traditional fine arts, traditional music and folk literature have higher degrees of aggregation. Traditional sports, recreational arts and acrobatics, traditional dance, traditional medicine and Quyi have relatively low levels of concentration. In space, there are the first-level agglomeration groups with Urumqi-Turpan-Korla as the core, the second-level agglomeration groups with Yining and Kashgar as the core, and several third-level agglomeration groups with Tacheng, Hami and Aksu as the centers. The spatial distribution of ICH in Xinjiang is comprehensively affected by natural factors, economic factors and social and cultural factors. Among them, the influence was as follows: Sociocultural factors (0.5494)>Economic factors (0.4597)>Physical factors (0.2285). The interaction study found that the synergistic effect of natural factors, economic factors and sociocultural factors had a more obvious influence on the spatial distribution of ICH.
