Using the nearest neighbor index,geographic concentration index,the Gini coefficient and Lorenz curve,this paper measures the space features of the distribution of the rural tourism scenic (spots) in Shanghai.The research results showed that 1) Shanghai Rural tourism scenic (spots) of the nearest neighbor index is 0.656,indicating that their spatial distribution is cohesion;2) its geographic concentration index is 87.200,indicating that the spatial distribution of the relative concentration,and with the results matched the nearest neighbor index;3) its Gini coefficient is 0.9647,<i>C</i>= 0.0353,which shows that spatial distribution is relatively concentrated.Further,the paper try to explore the impact of the fiscal revenue,gross industrial output value,agriculture park infrastructure investment,the resident population density and land area on the spatial distribution features,and to put forward more reasonable layout scheme to promote the development of rural tourism in Shanghai.
