Analysis of the Evolution Pattern and Regional Conservation of Cultural Heritage from the Perspective of Urban Sustainable Transformation: The Case of Xiamen, China

Xiamen's cultural heritage, primarily constructed between 1840 and 1949, exhibits a distinct 'north-south' directional trend with clustering patterns concentrated in Gulangyu and Xiagang areas of Siming District. This spatial correlation reveals a 'strong first, then weak' clustering trend over time. Using ArcGIS spatial analysis, the study optimizes urban planning for heritage protection and tourism routes by analyzing these spatiotemporal distributions.
