Sichuan is located inland in southwest China, on the upper reaches of the Yangtze

River. Located in the transition zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the plains
of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Sichuan Province has a great
difference in elevation. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It is
composed of mountains, hills, plains, basins and plateaus. In the west, there are
plateaus and mountains, most of which are more than 3,000 meters above sea level. In
the east, there are basins and hills, with an elevation between 500 and 2000 meters.
Sichuan has 7 World Heritage sites, ranking second in China, 15 national and 75
provincial scenic and historic sites. There are five "Top 40 tourist attractions in
China". By the end of 2020, there are 15 national 5A and 284 4A tourist attractions in
Sichuan Province, which can be described as rich tourism resources. There are also
166 nature reserves. Due to the complex structure and rich geological landform
landscape, more than 220 geological relics have been found. Therefore, in general,
Sichuan has rich tourism resources.
Finally, by analyzing the geological topography, land-use, land-cover and hotel
distribution in Sichuan, this study studies whether there is a relationship between
topography, scenic spots and hotel distribution, and puts forward relevant suggestions
on hotel construction in places with suitable terrain and geomorphology conditions
and some natural scenic spots.

Our data is from Geospatial Data Cloud, China Scientific Data, and Resource and
Environment Science and Data Center.

Secondly is methodology: in this section we analyze the stability of soil in


Sichuan and also the land cover. Then further analyze the relationship between blue-
green space and the hotels there.
This is our model for the soil stability analysis.
First of all, use Mosaic to New Raster to combine all the parts of DEM found
together, and Extract by Mask to get the DEM data of Sichuan.
Then the Contour for Sichuan came out. The contour interval should set 2000
because the great difference in elevation. If the contour interval is too tiny, then it is
too dense to identify. We can see that the contour lines are very dense in the west of
Sichuan, because plenty of plateaus and mountains were located there.
Slope and Aspect were also needed for further soil stability analysis. But both of
them need to be reclassified. For slope there, 6 classes were needed and the interval of
classes is random, and values were given for further calculation. The lower of the
value, and the steeper of the slope. So it is better to own a high value in slope
classification.
For aspect, 4 classes were needed, namely -1-0 for 5, 0-90 and 270-360 is 10 and
the rest is 1. Because if the aspect value of a location is 10, it is more easily to build a
hotel.
Land use is also needed, after Extract by Mask, Reclassify the using type of land
by 4 classes. In the old value of this data, 1 means the unused land, including coastal,
inland beaches, glaciers and saline-alkali land, marshland, sandy land, bare land
which is very difficult for growing and living, so the lowest new value 2 was given. 2
in old value means forest, woodland and other natural land, 3 means arable land,
garden land, artificial pasture, field, ditch, facility agricultural land, rural road, and 4
means towns and villages, industrial and mining land, transportation land, compared
with the latter two types of land use, they are more stable, so they are given the
highest value 8.
And we can actually calculate about the degree of land use. The comprehensive
index model of land use degree can quantitatively reflect the development and
utilization degree of ecological environment by human activities from land use aspect.
The grading index indicates the degree of human intervention at the prefecture level.
Finally, it can reflect the intensity of land use in the region through calculation. I
refers to the comprehensive index of regional land use degree; Ai refers to the
classification index of land use degree (old value); Ci refers to the area proportion of
land use degree. It can be seen from the final result that the level 3 is the most
utilized.
After finishing these layers, Weighted Sum is needed to evaluate the stability of
soil. The weight of them is 0.3, 0.3, and 0.4. Then the properties were changed to 3
classes and red for unstable, yellow for relatively stable, and green for very stable.
Finally, reclassify the layer of soil stability, light blue shows the unstable area of
Sichuan and the others are stabler to build a hotel.
