  ABSTRACT: Red cultural heritage (RCH), a China-specific category of revolutionary heritage, is often spatially dispersed and closely associated with particular historical events. Identifying its spatial clusters and establishing connections among sites at the regional scale are important for shifting from site-by-site conservation toward network-based conservation. This study investigates 134 immovable RCH sites in Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province, China. Average nearest-neighbor analysis, an imbalance index, and kernel density estimation were used to characterize the spatial pattern. Twelve National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units were selected as source sites. A composite resistance surface was constructed from elevation, slope, land use, distance to major roads, and distance to watercourses, with factor weights derived using the entropy weighting method. The minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model and least-cost paths were then used to identify potential connections, which were organized into primary and secondary corridors according to heritage clustering and network-coverage requirements. The ANN analysis shows significant spatial clustering (R = 0.652, Z = −7.710, p
