A comprehensive exploration of urban spatial economic vitality through the application of the node-place model

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates urban economic and tourism spatial vitality through the application of the node-place model across both spatial and temporal scales. Cluster analysis was employed to identify and characterize spatial clusters based on urban spatial vitality and the node-place model. Furthermore, bivariate spatial association was applied to examine the correlation between urban spatial vitality and the node-place model components. The findings reveal that the characteristics of these clusters reflect varying levels of density and diversity in urban development and transportation systems which emphasize urban planning and transportation integrations play a vital role in shaping urban vitality.
