动漫产业在中国作为极具发展潜力的文化创意产业，已然成为国民经济中不容小觑的一部分，在长江三角洲地区（以下简称长三角）一体化背景下，研究其在区域内空间分布特征及影响因素对于总结中国动漫产业发展规律具有较大意义。本文以2010年、2015年、2020年三年为时间截点，收集长三角地区各时间截点动漫企业空间数据，通过核密度与空间自相关分析探究长三角动漫产业空间布局与演变；选取波特的钻石模型作为分析框架，系统分析影响长三角动漫产业发展的因素，并尝试解释空间布局演变的原因。

本文研究结论如下：（1）长三角地区动漫企业在2010年至2020年之间数量井喷，空间布局大致呈现“上海一核”→“一大核多小核”→“多核＋多点”的演变结构。企业分布呈现一定程度的空间正相关，集聚分布较为明显且集聚效果有增强趋势。（2）动漫创作资源、人力资源及相关与支持性产业如文化创意产业等对于长三角动漫产业空间格局演变有重要影响。

As a cultural and creative industry with great development potential in China, the animation industry has become an important part of the national economy that cannot be underestimated. Under the background of regional integration in the Yangtze River Delta, studying its spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors in the region is useful for summarizing the development law of China’s animation industry. This study uses the year of 2010, 2015, and 2020 as the time cut-off points to collect the spatial data of animation companies in the Yangtze River Delta region, and explores the spatial layout and evolution pattern of the animation industry in the Yangtze River Delta through nuclear density and spatial autocorrelation analysis; selects Porter’s diamonds model is used as an analysis framework to systematically analyze the factors affecting the development and spatial pattern of the animation industry in the Yangtze River Delta.

Main conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) The number of animation companies in the Yangtze River Delta region has blown out between 2010 and 2020, and the spatial layout roughly shows an evolution structure of "Shanghai One Core" → "One Large Core and Many Small Cores" → "Multiple Cores + Many Points". The distribution of enterprises shows a certain degree of positive spatial correlation. The distribution of agglomeration is more obvious and the agglomeration effect tends to increase. (2) Animation creation resources, human resources, and related and supporting industries have important impacts on the evolution of the spatial  pattern of the animation industry in the Yangtze River Delta.
