Spatiotemporal Distribution and Evolution of Global World Cultural Heritage, 1972–2024 by Yangyang Lu, Qingwen Han, Zheng Zhang, Zhong Sun, Jian Dai

“…There is a trend of positive east–west distribution on the whole. (3) Road density, per capita GDP, and other factors are the dominant factors affecting the spatial pattern of world cultural heritage, and the interaction between the factors shows a nonlinear enhancement or two-factor enhancement trend. (4) There are spatial differences in the mechanisms of the factors, with river density contributing positively, aspect rate and forest cover contributing negatively, population density, per capita GDP, and road density mainly contributing positively to the spatial distribution of the WCH, annual precipitation mainly contributing negatively, and the positive and negative effects of altitude and GDP being comparable. …”
