Abstract

Studying the spatial distribution features and correlation factors of traditional sports and games (TSG) is an important way to improve the scientific management and overall protection of TSG and is of great significance in promoting the sustainable development of human cultural heritage. This research looks into the spatial distribution features of traditional sports and games (TSG) in the Yangtze River Delta and their correlation factors by analyzing 192 TSG items in the region, using SPSS and some geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS. Analysis results suggest that: (1) The TSG footprints in the Yangtze River Delta are unevenly aggregated, mostly distributing in the southeast part of the region, and showing a significant concentration pattern with a high-density core area centered on Shanghai and six medium-density core areas. (2) The spatial distribution of TSG in the region is influenced by physical geography, socioeconomic development, and history and culture and is necessarily linked to some indicators, such as the regional GDP, population, number of traditional villages, number of museums, and the proportion of minority population.
