| 【Objective】The research is carried out to reveal the spatial distribution characteristics of leisure agriculture and analyze its influencing factors, explore the path suitable for the construction of urban agricultural leisure core areas, and further optimize the development pattern of leisure agriculture in nine mainland cities of Guangdong- Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (hereafter called "GBA").【Method】Taking 160 leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites in nine mainland cities of the GBA as research samples, combined with the annual business income and reception of regional leisure agriculture, the nearest neighbor index, kernel density estimation and GIS grouping analysis methods were adopted to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the spatial distribution characteristics of leisure agriculture. Besides，the main factors that affect its spatial layout were explored by buffer analysis and correlation analysis.【Result】There are many leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites in Zhaoqing, Zhongshan, Dongguan and other cities, but less business income and person times receipted. The average actual nearest distance between leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites is 7.90 km, the theoretical expected nearest distance is 9.27 km, and the nearest index R=0.85 ＜ 1. Nuclear density analysis shows one “Y”-shape high density area and two dot-shape sub-high density areas. According to pseudo F- statistic, the counties (cities and districts) in nine mainland cities of the GBA can be divided into three groups. The number of leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites within 20 km of the buffer zone of the urban master plan is the largest, and there is a significant positive correlation between leisure agriculture and economic conditions and tourism resources.【Conclusion】Leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites show a cohesive distribution trend in spatial distribution. The high density and sub-high density areas of leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration sites are suitable for the construction of township revitalization demonstration belts, rural boutique tourism routes, rural leisure tourism demonstration units, etc. Among the nine mainland cities, there are two groups with better development of leisure agriculture, including Conghua and Zengcheng of Guangzhou, Boluo of Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Shunde of Foshan, Doumen of Zhuhai, and Xinhui of Jiangmen, suitable for the construction of urban agricultural leisure core areas. The layout of leisure agriculture tourism is mainly affected by regional conditions, economic development level, tourism resource endowment and regional characteristic agriculture. |
