Accessibility Analysis and Site Selection Suggestions for Cultural Complexes in Nanjing

Abstract

In recent years, with the increase of urban cultural consumption demand, cultural complexes, the role of cultural complexes, notably bookstores, have become increasingly significant. In this study, we took the 11th district of Nanjing as the research object and selected the cultural complex represented by bookstores in Nanjing to study and analyze their distribution and accessibility. First, the study collected data on the location, transportation network, and population density of bookstores in Nanjing. Then, a comprehensive evaluation system was constructed to evaluate the impact of different modes of transportation on the accessibility of bookstores. By using the spatial analysis method, this study quantitatively evaluated the spatial distribution pattern, service scope and service equity of Nanjing bookstores. The results show that the distribution of bookstores in Nanjing shows a similar imbalance with the distribution of population density, in which the accessibility of the central area of the city is relatively high, while the peripheral area is low. In particular, the issue of accessibility equity for children is particularly prominent. Based on the above findings, this paper proposes targeted suggestions and improvement strategies for bookstore site selection, aiming to provide a scientific basis and practical guidance for government decision-makers, urban planners and bookstore operators.
