Study on Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Huizhou Region

This paper analyzes the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of the intangible cultural heritage of Huizhou by using mathematical statistics method and GIS spatial analysis method. The research reveals the following: first, Huizhou s intangible cultural heritage is complete in structure and is differentiated in distribution, among which traditional skills, traditional dances, and folk customs are well developed and protected; second, the spatial distribution of Huizhou s intangible cultural heritage is more concentrated in core area and thinly scattered in marginal areas, forming two high-density core circles, the Tunxi District and Sexian County; third, the number of cultural heritage inheritors is relatively enriched in the Huizhou area, but the distribution of inheritors within the area is unbalanced. Inheritance and learning bases are also unbalanced in geographical distribution. At last, the paper has analyzed the influencing factors of the spatial distribution of Huizhou s intangible cultural heritage from the perspectives of economic development, local culture, geographical environment, and governmental protections and management.
