Assessment of Vitality and Influencing Factors in the Production Space of Art and Culture: A Case Study of Shanghai

Abstract

Enhancing the vitality of art and culture production spaces is crucial for revitalizing urban culture. Clarifying the influencing factors forms the foundation for this enhancement. Using Shanghai's art production spaces as a case study, we analyze the factors influencing vitality on both weekdays and holidays, elucidating their modes of action and general patterns.Firstly, we construct an evaluation system for the vitality of art and culture production spaces based on Baidu heat maps and Points of Interest (POI) data. Secondly, we quantify the vitality characterization and potential influencing factors of art production spaces. Lastly, we establish a coupled coordination degree model to measure these influencing factors.The findings reveal that daytime vitality surpasses nighttime vitality, with weekend and holiday populations exhibiting higher vitality compared to weekdays. Daytime vitality is concentrated in X1, while nighttime vitality shows a more balanced spatial distribution. The coupling and coordination between population vitality and service facilities are stronger during the day than at night, and higher on weekends and holidays compared to weekdays.Regarding the influencing factors of art and culture production space vitality, factors such as location, day and night economies, holiday economies, and accessibility can be combined comprehensively to enhance vitality. This study's outcomes will be instrumental in enhancing and developing art and cultural production spaces in Shanghai and beyond. They will also provide clarity on future development and renewal directions.
