Abstract

Transportation is an important resource for the sustainable development of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is of great practical significance to evaluate and study the law and mechanism of spatial and temporal differentiation of traffic dominance degree. Based on the methods of the Origin-Destination cost matrix, least squares method, and geographically weighted regression, this paper establishes a traffic dominance evaluation system at the county scale and discusses the spatial pattern and influence of traffic dominance in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2015 to 2019. The results show that: (1) The overall traffic construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has been accelerated, and the traffic accessibility between counties has been significantly enhanced; (2) The traffic dominance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is significantly different from east to west, and the central area, with “Xining-Lhasa” as the axis, expands to the outer circle with an irregularly decreasing spatial pattern; and (3) The effect of rapid urbanization development and population carrying capacity enhancement on the traffic dominance of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has gradually increased, and the effect of elevation has been weakening from 2015 to 2019.
