The Spatial Features of Dark Tourist Resources in China

Human history and natural environment are complicated and various in China.Dark Tourist Resources，which are worthy of protection，are also numerous.If we analyze their spatial structure，reveal their distribution laws，features and motivations，and make division，it can provide the scientific basis to Dark Tourist Resources for protection，exploitation，and management in China.The research is based on GIS technology，by using research methods of Nearest Distance Index，Genii Coefficient，Kernel Density analysis，from different angles Heihe Tengchong Line changes，resources division and so on，it analyses the spatial features of Dark Tourist Resources with the national 152 Dark Tourist Attractions as the research object.The research results are as follows：dark tourist resources in space are strong aggregation distribution，and it's highly centralized distribution in 7 geographic areas，what's more，they have a low degree of the evenness；the distribution of high density areas are the border zones of Beijing and Hebei，areas of Xi'an and Xianyang， the south of Jiangsu and the north of Zhejiang；in the southeast of Heihe Tengchong Line，the areas where has a dense population distribute 9211% of Dark Tourist Resources in China；according to the attributes of Dark Tourist Resources，we can divide the regions，which are related to Dark Tourist Resources，into 8 areas ，and put forward corresponding themes and development directions.
