By adopting evolutionary economic geography theory,the paper analyzes the types of operation in West Lake Scenic Area from 1978 to 2013.First,an evolution process consisting of four stages is underpinned,and they are:the new establishment stage,the preliminary development stage,the speedup development stage,and the stabilized maturity stage.Specifically,the distinct characteristics associated with operation types are compared and evaluated at different stages throughout the process.The evolution trees are introduced to scrutinize types of operation development.The results of evolution trees demonstrate the substantial increase in both numbers and types.Second,by applying GIS spatial analysis,the paper also analyzes the spatial evolution characteristics on the types of operation,and the results unveil the co-existence of centripetal and centrifugal forces.

在本书中，很多运用演化经济地理学理论，对1978-2013年西湖风景区经营类型进行了分析。首先，建立了由四个阶段组成的演化过程，并对其进行了分析是：新的建立阶段、初步发展阶段、加速发展阶段，以及稳定的成熟度阶段。具体来说,与手术类型相关的不同特征在整个手术过程的不同阶段进行比较和评估过程。这个引入进化树来仔细检查操作类型发展进化树的结果显示在数量和类型。第二应用GIS空间分析技术，实现了分析了操作类型的空间演化特征，揭示了向心力和离心力的共存性。
