Abstract: This paper is based on the basic theory of religious geography. This thesis studies 925 “religious landscapes”whose basic geographic information such as coordinate is determined through Google Earth and Baidu Map. Arcgis 10.3 space analysis and hydrology analysis are applied to make visible effect and conduct quantitative analysis of the distribution of Shanxi province’s religious landscape and its corresponding causing factors. Study shows that Shanxi province’s religious landscape distribution remains a centralized pattern with distinguished space disparity, making it a “scattered in large area, centralized in small area”. In terms of space distribution, religious landscape is centralized on high elevation areas,and 46 % of the religious landscape elevation is about 1000m; Religious landscape is characterized by gradual decrease from center to periphery with a tendency of city distribution; According to the influence factors of the religious landscape pattern, the distribution is controlled by the overall topography; The elevation affects the degree of religious agglomeration and dispersion; A long history and cultural heritage is also a factor that can not be ignored; Population distribution affects the number of religious landscapes.

摘要： 本文立足于宗教地理学的基本理论，以山西省 925 个“宗教景观”为研究对象，通过谷歌地球（GoogolEarth）及百度地图定位各个宗教景观的地理坐标。运用Arcgis10.3空间分析法、水文分析法进行可视化表达，分析山西宗教景观的空间分布格局及其影响因素。取得了较为理想的研究成果：山西宗教景观分布类型为集聚型，但存在较为明显的空间差异，形成“大分散、小集聚”式的空间分异模式；市域分布不均衡，呈现集中于以太原、长治、忻州、临汾市为依托的周边地区格局；高程空间格局具有高值集聚特征，且46%的宗教景观海拔高度<1000m；宗教景观分布具有倾向城市格局；从宗教景观格局影响因素看，其分布受总体地形控制海拔高程影响宗教集聚与分散程度，悠久的历史文化传承也是不可忽视的因素，人口分布状况影响宗教景观数量。
