Abstract:

This research explores 441 county-level areas in nine provinces and autonomous regions of the Yellow River Basin. The spatial distribution pattern of 560 national intangible cultural heritage sites in the Yellow River Basin is analyzed by using methods such as nearest neighbor index, kernel density estimation, and global Moran index. The following conclusions are drawn by using the differentiation and interaction of geographic detectors to detect the coupling and mutual feedback relationship between influencing factors and sub-factors: (1) Intangible cultural heritages in the Yellow River Basin differs variably in spatial distribution. In terms of regional distribution, the middle reaches have the most intangible cultural heritage sites and lower reaches the least; in terms of provincial distribution, Shanxi has the most intangible cultural heritage sites and Sichuan the least; in terms of county-level distribution, Mudan District in Heze has the most intangible cultural heritage sites. (2)The Yellow River Basin has the nearest neighbor index for the intangible cultural heritage of 0.78 and a confidence level of 99%, showing significant clustering spatial distribution characteristics. (3) Nuclear density follows a trend of clustered distribution, forming a multi-core, four-belt spatial distribution pattern. (4) Economic, social and cultural factors are more influential than natural factors. Among cultural factors, museums and national key cultural relics protection units have the biggest impact on the spatial layout of intangible cultural heritage; among economic factors, the population, gross regional product and urbanization level are strong; among social factors, transportation and ethnic group are weak; and among natural geography factors, topography, temperature and precipitation have the weakest impact on the whole. Detecting the interaction between various factors has a stronger effect in interpreting the spatial distribution of intangible cultural heritages.
