摘　　要：In hyperlink analysis,most researchers focus on interpreting hyperlink counts,they seldom concern themselves enough about the significance of spatial distribution of hyperlinks.In this paper,we argue that not only can the inlink count to a tourist attraction’s official website reflect its attractiveness,but also the spatial distribution of its inlinks can reflect the distribution of its tourist source markets.Three mountains in Anhui Province,China,are chosen for the case study.Firstly,the correlation between the spatial distributions of an attraction’s tourist source markets and its official website’s inlinks is investigated.Secondly,the tourism indexes such as the spatial concentration index(SCI)and the attraction radius(AR),which are calculated by inlinks,are compared to the real indexes based on tourist sources.Last,the detailed discussion and analysis are presented and an improved model,which is used to calculate the distribution of inlinks,is proposed.In hyperlink analysis,most researchers focus on interpreting hyperlink counts,they seldom concern themselves enough about the significance of spatial distribution of hyperlinks.In this paper,we argue that not only can the inlink count to a tourist attraction’s official website reflect its attractiveness,but also the spatial distribution of its inlinks can reflect the distribution of its tourist source markets.Three mountains in Anhui Province,China,are chosen for the case study.Firstly,the correlation between the spatial distributions of an attraction’s tourist source markets and its official website’s inlinks is investigated.Secondly,the tourism indexes such as the spatial concentration index(SCI)and the attraction radius(AR),which are calculated by inlinks,are compared to the real indexes based on tourist sources.Last,the detailed discussion and analysis are presented and an improved model,which is used to calculate the distribution of inlinks,is proposed.
