摘要

Focusing on the Ningbo Section of the Grand Canal of China, this study integrates agrarian cultural heritage (ACH), maritime fishing cultural heritage (MFCH) and maritime trade cultural heritage (MTCH) to establish a multicultural heritage connection system. Using GIS and circuit theory, it identifies the canal’s spatial integration with potential heritage corridors and constructs a composite network centered on “Sanjiangkou”. An improved push-pull framework, combining traditional push-pull theory and migration modelling, explains the dynamic evolution of cultural heritage and multicultural interactions. Results show that (1) ACH, MFCH and MTCH present distinct spatial agglomeration characteristics; (2) the canal routes are highly integrated with the potential multicultural heritage corridors; and (3) the improved framework robustly explains the spatial organization of multicultural heritage. By integrating GIS, circuit theory, and the improved framework, this approach offers theoretical innovation and practical guidance for heritage conservation planning.
