Abstract: Based on the definition of “Red Village”,this paper takes 262 rural red tourist attractions as data samples in Hunan province,using mathematical modeling and GIS spatial analysis methods to quantitatively describe the spatial distribution pattern and accessibility characteristics of red villages.The results show that:（1) The red villages in Hunan are in the state of agglomeration distribution,the unbalance of red villages distribution in different regional spaces or administrative units is prominent,and the agglomeration intensity constantly decreases with the increase of scale distance; (2)The red villages show a distribution pattern of “large dispersion and small agglomeration”,and there are three high-density agglomeration areas as well as a number of transboundary continuous clusters of red villages.Along the long march route and in the border area of Hunan- Hubei-Jiangxi and Hunan-Guangdong-Jiangxi,many “medium and low density” agglomeration areas are formed;（3)The average transit time of red villages is 221.58 min, the standard deviation is 42.75,the overall accessibility is not ideal and internal difference is significant, the robustness of the accessibility level is poor,the mathematical distribution of red villages in different accessible periods approximately presents the “pyramid” structure;(4) The spatial distribution of accessibility of red villages shows the “center-periphery” structure,several traffic accessibility valleys are formed in the provincial marginal areas and having “spatial dislocation” with its kernel density pattern,and showing obvious traffic directivity characteristics.Finally,the paper puts forward some suggestions to optimize the accessibility pattern of red villages,drive the reconstruction of traffic location and promote the development of red tourism.
