The complexity of urban functions and structure brings new challenges to the spatial layout of tourism industry factors. This study focuses on the main urban area of Fuzhou City and examines the spatial distribution of the six factors of the tourism industry: catering, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment. Bivariate Ripley’s K function is introduced to reveal the “distance-agglomeration” correlation pattern among these factors. The results show that: (1) the spatial distribution density of the six factors of the tourism industry has a strong correlation with the urban functional zoning, and the pattern of the six factors shows the distribution characteristics of “along the river, large agglomeration and small dispersion”, and forms multiple spatial clusters. (2) The agglomeration hotspots distribution of the six factors of tourism industry has spatial commonality and heterogeneity. The hotspots of catering, shopping, and entertainment factors demonstrate strong spatial correlations, while sightseeing hotspots tend to have a mono-core distribution. Transportation hotspots have a broader distribution range, and accommodation hotspots have a strong tourist flow and transportation orientation. (3) The study identifies four types of “distance-agglomeration” spatial correlation patterns among the six factors of the tourism industry. The patterns include “close distance-strong agglomeration” and “close distance-weak agglomeration”, with the shopping factors at the center. The “long distance-weak agglomeration” pattern is associated with transportation and sightseeing factors, while the “long distance-strong agglomeration” model is centered on entertainment factors. This analysis offers a deepen spatial understanding of the relationships between different factors of the tourism industry.

Waterfront space is an important place that reflects the quality of urban space and carries the function of urban recreation. Promoting the production of waterfront recreation space is an important issue in urban regeneration. The paper introduces the affordance theory and uses grounded theory to analyze the human-environment interaction mechanism in the production of urban waterfront recreation space. The results show that: (1) the human-environment interaction elements of urban waterfront recreation space include basic conditions, infrastructure, recreation environment, landscape quality, recreation facilities, and recreation services. (2) There are three stages of human-environment interaction. In the image recognition stage, basic conditions and infrastructure elements stimulate potential recreation subjects to form spatial cognition; in the on-site experience stage, recreation environment and landscape quality elements trigger recreation subjects to form place perception, and recreation facilities and recreation service elements support recreation subjects to form usage experience during activities; in the recollection and feedback stage, recreation subjects integrate their perceived interaction elements to form recreation feedback, which in turn affects the spatial cognition and spatial practice of other subjects. (3) Progressive and staged human-environment interaction achieves cognitive affordability, place affordability, functional affordability, and interactive affordability, which in turn promotes the circular reproduction of the meaning and function of urban waterfront recreation space. The study provides a new case for research related to spatial production and can be used as a reference for decision-making on the regeneration of urban waterfront recreation space and the improvement of spatial experience quality.
