Understanding the determinants of where and what kind of home accommodation to build

Abstract

As homestays have developed rapidly, it is necessary to understand the factors affecting their density and type distribution at the micro scale. Based on the Internet data of home accommodation, the spatial distribution characteristics of homestays in Shenzhen are studied by the nearest neighbour analysis, and type distribution characteristics are analysed by NVivo. The impacts of factors are discussed through geographical detectors. We conclude that Shenzhen's homestays are multi-centre agglomeration and development in space with the flat floor as the main house structure and the modern style as the main decoration style. The spatial distribution is mainly affected by social and economic factors such as the density of bus stations and subways. The density and diversity of the homestays is high with the nearest and farthest distance to the railway station and the popular tourist destination beach while low with the mediate distance, featured with dumbbell shape.
