Description
Qinghai Province, situated in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, encompasses 517 designated cultural heritage sites at both national and provincial protection levels, distributed across its vast territory spanning 720,000 square kilometers. The spatial fragmentation of these cultural assets presents significant challenges to conservation efforts.
While contemporary scholarship on cultural heritage spatial networks has transcended the isolated conservation paradigm by emphasizing spatial connectivity, cultural transmission dynamics, and systemic risks within heritage systems, critical gaps persist in dynamic network modeling and the quantification of cultural values.
Through the integration of Arc-GIS spatial analysis and space syntax methodologies, this study systematically quantifies the spatial distribution patterns of cultural heritage. Leveraging big data analytics and AI-driven technologies, we pioneer a multidimensional evaluation framework that synthesizes cultural value, environmental vulnerability, and social connectivity. This innovative approach has revealed, for the first time, the hierarchical architecture and vulnerability distribution characteristics inherent to Qinghai Province's cultural heritage network. Key conclusions include:
1、Establishment of a five-tier classification system for heritage network vulnerability in Qinghai;
2、Constructing the "Tri-Core and Triple-Corridor" Cultural Heritage Network Protection Framework in Qinghai Province。
3、CV index (Cultural Value Index) is proposed to dynamically evaluate the node importance, break through the limitation of single material value evaluation, and construct a multidimensional network model of
This study establishes a methodological paradigm that profoundly responds to UNESCO's advocated "culture-nature synergistic conservation" framework, delivering operational solutions specifically tailored for ecologically fragile multi-ethnic plateau regions. Through groundbreaking integration of spatial network analysis, dynamic risk simulation, and intelligent decision support into a cohesive technical system, the research achieves transformative breakthroughs in highland cultural heritage conservation. Crucially, the developed framework provides a scientific foundation for Qinghai Province to establish an "International Demonstration Zone for Highland Cultural Heritage Conservation." This initiative aligns with the 《2030 Sustainable Development Goals》 while addressing region-specific conservation challenges through technology-empowered governance mechanisms, offering a globally replicable Chinese model that harmonizes theoretical innovation with practical adaptability.
