To evaluate the development of 9 provinces (or cities) of China, we analyze the relative advantage of different provinces ities) from four aspects: economy, society, sustainable development and politics and culture. Considering the difference of resource of rent provinces (or cities), we provide a new evaluation model. Specifically, first, the provinces (or cities) are divided into three regions,...
Since the late 1990s, the rapid urbanisation process in China has been related to an apparent paradigm change in the spatial development model of Chinese city regions. With the development focus shifting to large cities, the roles and development patterns of small towns have changed. The bottom-up, self-organised and dispersed development models that prevailed during the 1980s are less relevant. Instead,...
Mega-city region development is one of the dominant themes of urban development in the global economy. China's Pearl River Delta (PRD) region is one of the country's most advanced regions and has become a focal point of city-regional development. This article examines the latest regional planning and development to analyze the economic, political, and social transformations in the PRD region. Major...
The risk of seawater intrusion and susceptibility to natural hazard is important for the development of coastal regions of China. Based on the method of TOPSIS and 12 indicators, the development vulnerability of seawater intrusion coastal regions in China is studied taking Weihai City as the case. The results show that the development vulnerability of study area are classified into 5 types: extreme...
With the development of reform in China, many theorists have made a lot of further research in the theory of national synthetically reform testing district. This paper attempts to give a systematic introduction and critical review of domestic theoretical documents, and shows a distinct frame of the existing achievements in this field. Four research fields have been introduced. This paper offers that...
Regional development and environmental change has been one of the most frequently discussed issues among various intergovernmental conferences since cities have proved to be the biggest carbon source of the world Greenhouse Gases. Based on meteorological observation data and socio-economic statistical data from 1978 to 2000, this paper gained the spatial-temporal distribution features of urban climate...
Cellular automata (CA) has been increasingly used to simulate complex urban system, but urban land price is usually not considered in the simulation. This research selected Shijiazhuang city as study area and established city scale expansion model under restriction of land price. Through geometric correction, band combination and unsupervised classification of Landsar TM data using ERDAS 8.7 software,...
In this paper, the present situation of social and economic development in the Lanzhou-Xining town-compact region in the underdeveloped Gansu and Qinghai provinces in China is assessed by selecting 22 indexes related to the social and economic development and using the multivariable statistical factor analysis, breakpoint model, variance analysis, etc. The followings are the results. First, all the...

It puts forward eight feasible strategic projects. And the paper adopted quantitative methods, selected some strategic projects fitting in with the development of Hebei Province. In this process,...
During the past decades, many facts had proved that the urban agglomerations had become an important force in regional development. Theoretical research has indicated that close economic links of cities among urban agglomeration is the essential characteristics of urban agglomeration. The quantitative analysis of economy linkage is the basis to define the range of urban agglomeration. Based on urban...
