[[alternative]]An Empirical Investigation of the Spatial Modeling for Urban Itinerary Taichung City, Taiwan

[[abstract]] 都市地區旅遊目的地具有區域唯一性且旅遊活動在消費上具有時序性、定點性，因此有較強的空間屬性。本研究應用次級資料透過資料分類與正規化程序建立台中市觀光旅遊空間資料庫，並應用地理資訊系統空間分析技術進行台中市旅遊目的地與旅遊路線模式之空間結構分析研究結果發現台中市旅遊目的地以忠明南路與中港路的交叉路口為中心半徑三千五百公尺範圍內因聚集而呈現三個旅遊帶，另應用環域與交集分析結果發現台中市旅遊目的地有百分之五十九分佈於主要道路五百公尺範圍內，且第一級旅遊目的地的空間特性為分佈在商業區的外圍其空間結構的共同因子為主要道路、都市藍帶與都市綠帶而第二、三級旅遊目的地呈現環繞在第一級旅遊目的地周圍的特性，再者依據遊客到達旅遊目的地所經過的旅遊路線彙整比對找出台中市旅遊路線的六種典型模式空間分佈，最後將研究結果彙整並提出建議供未來台中市政府與後續相關研究之參考使用。[[abstract]] Urban travel destinations usually possess a lone characteristic in terms of regional amount. The consumption behavior associated with traveling in such destinations has a spatial nature because of its sequential and location-fixed characteristics. This investigation used secondary data to build a spatial travel database for Taichung City via data categorization and normalization. This investigation applied the Spatial Analysis technologies of GIS and conducted a spatial structural analysis for the travel destination and itinerary model of Taichung city. The investigation discovered that there appeared to be 3 belt-shaped traveling areas within a radius of 3,500 meters from the intersection of Chung-Ming South Road and Chung-Kang Road. The investigation then introduced Buffering and Intersection Analysis and further discovered that 59% travel destinations of Taichung City are located within 500 meters range of a major road, and the spatial characteristic for the first level travel destinations is its scattering around the commercial zone. Its common factors for the spatial structure are ＂major roads＂, ＂Blue Belt,＂ and ＂Green Belt.＂ The second and the third level travel destinations have the same characteristic of circling around the first level. The investigation has found 6 classic spatial models for Taichung City based on the itinerary the tourists used to reach their travel destinations. It is anticipated that the final result of this investigation can be a useful reference for Taichung City government to conduct further research and related study
