Exploring Spatial Pattern of Tourist Behavior Using Geographic Information Techniques
نویسنده
چکیده
With rapid advances in science and technology, the global positioning system (GPS) tracking techniques have improved and become more convenient for exploring spatial patterns of tourist behavior. In this study, we collected the movement data of touristsusing GPS trackers and anAndriod application (APP) executed on smartphone platform to explore the spatial behaviors and characteristics of tourist. The availabletourist tracksare 206.Weused the method of grid and buffer analysis to analyse the followings: (1) the degree of tourist aggregation, (2) stay time and (3) average movement speed of tourist.The results show that the spatial patterns of popular paths and points of interest. Key-Words: -Spatial Analysis, Spatial Behavior, Tourist, GPS tracking, Spatial Pattern
