Abstract

Linear heritage routes, characterized by their expansive geographical span and rich cultural narratives, present unique challenges and opportunities for regional tourism development. This paper investigates the spatial and temporal dynamics of tourism accessibility along these extensive corridors, with a specific focus on seasonal variations and their implications for coordinated management. By moving beyond static accessibility models, this research introduces a dynamic, season-responsive framework that captures the fluctuating nature of transport networks, weather conditions, and tourist demand. The study systematically evaluates how seasonal constraints—such as winter weather hazards, monsoonal disruptions, and peak summer congestion—alter travel times and connectivity between heritage nodes. Utilizing advanced spatiotemporal network analysis without relying on traditional mathematical formulas, the methodological approach integrates multidimensional data streams including historical climate records, transport schedules, and geographical information systems. The findings reveal profound seasonal disparities in accessibility, which inherently disrupt the equitable distribution of tourism benefits across administrative boundaries. Consequently, this paper proposes actionable strategies for coordinated tourism development, emphasizing cross-jurisdictional collaboration, adaptive infrastructure investment, and synchronized marketing efforts. The insights derived from this study provide a comprehensive decision-making foundation for urban planners, heritage conservators, and regional policymakers aiming to foster sustainable, resilient, and integrated linear heritage tourism networks.
