%X The Zipf theory is the law to study the relation between word frequency and word sequence which has been widely used in the fields of urban system,transportation net and metrology.It is also involved in tourist flow,but only used for simple analysis on the ranking of tourist flow size,without deep discussion for the spatial distribution evolution rules of size structure.This paper studied the spatial distribution changing characteristics and the mechanism of tourist flow size by Zipf Rules.It tried to find the changing law of the size distribution to guide the tourism resource development sequence,and to provide new theoretical support for spatial distribution of tourism scenic sites and urban system of tourist nodes.Compared with traditional quantitative method,Zipf theory can be used to judge the non-scaling section of tourist flow size distribution more precisely,and to interpret the varying characteristic of tourist size distribution based on non-scaling section and Zipf parameters.This will provide new quantitative method for the study on the spatial distribution variation of tourist flow.In this paper,Sichuan Province is taken as the study area.From size distribution analysis of domestic and inbound tourist flow during 1996-2005,it proves that the size distribution structure satisfies Zipf law in each year.Based on this result,this paper further analyzed the variation law of non-scaling range,non-scaling section characteristic and internal structure of each non-scaling range on tourist flow rank-size ln-ln graph.The conclusion shows that non-scaling range for both domestic and inbound tourist flow vary identically on ln-ln graph,with a gradually expanding tendency.However,the variation of spatial fractal structure and distribution pattern is not synchronous.From spatial fractal structure,domestic tourist flow size distribution varies from local fractal in 1997 to single fractal of 1998-2003,then to local fractal in 2004 and finally double fractal in 2005,while inbound tourist flow varies from local fractal in 1998 to single fractal in 1999 and till now,without double fractal.The spatial distribution variation also shows the difference: domestic tourist flow is changing from Pareto distribution pattern to lognormal distribution,but spatial distribution of inbound tourist flow is still steady as Pareto pattern.Perhaps the main reason is that the transportation improvement and new scenic sites development has more effect on destination choice of domestic tourists than on that of inbound tourists.This leads to the more apparent distribution variation of domestic tourist flow size structure.
