Study on the Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Seafood Processing Enterprises in Weihai City and the Influencing Factors of Site Selection

Abstract

Marine fishery is one of the earliest industries developed and utilized in marine industries, and occupies an important position in the entire national economy. In this paper, the spatio-temporal evolution characteristics of marine fishery enterprises in Weihai city from 2000 to 2020 and the influencing factors of the site selection of new marine fishery enterprises were analyzed by using nuclear density analysis method and negative binomial analysis method. The analysis results showed that:① the agglomeration core of marine fishery enterprises in Weihai had gradually evolved from a single core to a dual core. ② The early stage of marine fishery industry agglomeration was mainly affected by geographical factors, and in the later stage, it was mostly due to policies and other factors.③ The number of original marine fishery enterprises in the street and the distance from fishing ports, high-speed toll stations and modern fishery industrial parks were factors affecting the location of new marine fishery enterprises.
