Geographical Spatial Pattern and Spatiotemporal Suitability Evolution of Cultural Heritage in the Liao River Basin by Jingcheng YUAN, Bijiao LI, Sifan QIU

“…The research investigates how geographical, climatic, and institutional factors have shaped heritage landscapes and reveals how the interactions between these factors inform modern conservation practices.MethodsA geospatial database has been utilized, encompassing 11,151 heritage sites across six categories such as ancient ruins, tombs, and buildings, as well as five historical periods ranging from prehistoric period to modern period. The data are analyzed using spatial statistical techniques and historical mapping, with the primary methods being described as follows: spatiotemporal analysis employs standard deviation ellipses and kernel density estimation to analyze distribution and density ; spatial autocorrelation analysis utilizes Global Moran’s I and Local Moran’s I to assess spatial clustering and dispersion; environmental modeling incorporates elevation and slope buffers as well as DEM-derived landforms to assess the influence of natural geography on the spatial distribution of heritage sites; historical layering analysis focuses on policy maps to track how institutional changes and infrastructure development influence the distribution of heritage sites. …”
