| Abstract: | This research examines the spatial patterns and economic significance of cultural heritage sites along Beijing’s metro lines, with an emphasis on how urban infrastructure influences heritage preservation. Using spatial analysis methods, including the nearest-neighbor index, geographic concentration index, and location entropy, the research identifies patterns in the distribution of cultural heritage sites - such as ancient architecture, industrial heritage, and tombs - particularly concentrated within Beijing’s second ring road.
The study highlights the connectivity provided by key metro lines, including Lines 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8, which link cultural sites in a point distribution pattern. On these premises, the research established a hierarchical framework to evaluate cultural heritage based on proximity to metro stations, with historical and artistic values being the most significant factors.
The findings suggest that heritage sites within one kilometre of metro stations exert more significant influence on their surrounding areas and emphasize the importance of integrating metro infrastructure with cultural heritage preservation. This study contributes to understanding the spatial dynamics of cultural heritage in urban environments, offering a framework for assessing the impact of heritage within contemporary infrastructure systems.
Practically, the study offers insights for urban planners, metro authorities, and cultural preservation bodies, proposing thematic routes along metro lines—such as Line 1 representing a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures and Line 5 emphasizing religious culture—to enhance cultural tourism. It also emphasizes the need for coordinated efforts between stakeholders to balance heritage conservation and urban development for sustainable growth. |
