区位变迁与扬州经济发展的历史考察

Historical Survey of Locational Change and Economic Development in Yangzhou

区位对于区域经济的兴衰有着重大影响,有时甚至是决定性的影响,它能够加速或延缓区域经济的发展。从历史发展的角度来看,区位条件是动态的,环境的变化会引起区位的变迁,进而导致区域经济的兴衰。历史上扬州三次繁荣又几番沉沦,与其区位变迁息息相关。交通便利、政治稳定、经济区的形成等是扬州繁荣的基础,反之则走向衰落。

The location has a significant influence on the rise and fall of the regional economy, sometimes even the decisive influence. It can accelerate or delay the development of regional economy. Seen from the historical development, the locational condition is dynamic and the change of environment can even cause the regional changes, thus resulting in the up and downs of the regional economy. In the history, Yangzhou had changed from prosperity to degradation for three times, which was closely related to its loca- tional changes. In a word, the prosperity of Yangzhou should be based on the condition of convenient transportation, stable politics and formation of economic zones, etc.
