区域城市化水平的综合测度研究——以江苏省为例

COMPREHENSIVE MEASUREMENT OF DISTRICT′S URBANIZATION LEVEL ——A Case Study of Jiangsu Province

城市化是社会、经济、文化等多种因素综合发展的过程 ,是一个多维概念 ,而目前城市化水平常用的单一评价指标只能从某个方面反映一个地区的城市化水平 ,不能全面、科学地反映城市化的丰富内涵。以江苏省 1 3个地级市为例 ,通过经济、空间、人口以及生活方式、生活质量等体现城市化内涵的四个方面构造城市化水平评价指标体系 ,应用多指标综合评价方法对 1 3市的城市化水平进行综合评价研究。结果表明 ,江苏省城市化水平大致分为 5个层次 ,南京、无锡和苏州城市化水平最高 ,常州和镇江居第二层次 ,扬州、南通和泰州属第三层次 ,徐州、盐城和连云港列第四层次 ,淮安和宿迁最低 ,城市化水平区域差异明显 ,从南向北 ,城市化水平呈梯度下降趋势 ;从东向西 。

Urbanization is an integrated social, economic and cultural development process. At present, single appraisal indicator which is frequently used to characterize the urbanization level only can partly show the urbanization development level from some aspects, but not reflect the connotation of urbanization. With the case study of thirteen municipalities in Jiangsu Province, an indicator system for evaluating urbanization level was put forward to mirror the district's distinction of Jiangsu's urbanization level more genuinely, including four aspects, such as economic, spatial, population, living mode and living quality. The result shows that the urbanization of Jiangsu Province is divided into five levels,which are ranked from high to low, Nanjing,Wuxi and Suzhou; Changzhou and Zhenjiang; Yangzhou, Nantong and Taizhou; Xuzhou,Yancheng, Lianyungang; Huai'an and Suqian. The district's distinction of urbanization level is evident with the urbanization level descending from south to north and a decline tendency of urbanization level also founded to some extent from east to west.
