Abstract: To better address the challenges of dispersed conservation and fragmented development facing regional linear cultural heritage, this study examines the Chengdu-Chongqing Ancient Road as a case area. Based on 342 cultural heritage sites, it integrates Geographic Information System (GIS) spatial analysis techniques with the Minimum Cumulative Resistance (MCR) model to explore the structural composition and spatial distribution characteristics of heritage types. Subsequently, a cultural heritage corridor is constructed to investigate holistic utilization strategies. Results indicate: (1) While the total number of cultural heritage resources is substantial, their spatial distribution is uneven, exhibiting a "one primary, three secondary" clustering pattern. (2) The spatial distribution of comprehensive resistance shows relatively low values at the eastern and western ends, with a relatively high overall trend in the central region. (3) The cultural heritage corridor as a whole presents a highly concentrated, non-closed, radial distribution pattern relying on river systems and roads, and can be divided into three thematic corridors. This model relatively higher in the central area. (3) The cultural heritage corridors exhibit a highly concentrated, non-closed, radial distribution pattern anchored by river systems and roads, and can be divided into three thematic corridors. This model provides scientific reference for the holistic conservation and revitalization of widely distributed regional and local-level cultural heritage corridors, particularly those featuring ancient trails.
