Abstract:

Cultural industry is in a strategic and leading position in national economic and social development. It is the concentrated embodiment of a country's “soft power”. Based on the statistical data， we used the location entropy to calculate the characteristics of time and space changes and accumulation characteristics of the cultural industry in Gansu Province from 2011 to 2018. We analyzed the influencing factors and competitiveness measurement by the principal component analysis method， and the spatial visualization expression was carried out according to the natural break point method. The results show that in terms of time changes， the cultural industry in Gansu Province as a whole is fluctuating and rising， but it is far from the national average； in terms of spatial changes， the imbalance between cultural industry regions and cities in Gansu Province is more prominent， and the matching between strong economic cities and cultural output is low； in terms of competitiveness， the cultural industry agglomeration of Lanzhou， Jiuquan， Jiayuguan and Jinchang cities is high， while the cultural industry agglomeration of Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture is low； in terms of influencing factors， the influencing factors are mainly demand factor， policy factor and resource factor.

Key words: cultural industry, temporal and spatial evolution, Gansu Province
