Abstract: Taking the 165 leisure agriculture demonstration sites of Hubei province published in 2010—2017 as the research object, the distribution type, distribution density, distribution clustering and spatial autocorrelation of the demonstration sites of leisure agriculture in Hubei province are described by using the methods of nearest neighbor index analysis, nuclear density analysis, three-step iteration method of Voronoi diagram, spatial autocorrelation analysis, buffer zone analysis, and two-sided correlation test; and many factors that may affect the development of leisure agriculture in Hubei province are analyzed and discussed. The results show that the distribution of leisure agriculture demonstration sites in Hubei province shows a certain degree of aggregation, and the East Hubei is the most densely distributed. The distribution of leisure agriculture is obviously affected by factors such as altitude, traffic location, and market environment, and the local economy and population density gradually become secondary.

Key words: leisure agriculture demonstration site, spatial distribution, kernel density, correlation analysis
