A Spatial Analysis of Regional Higher Education's Development Strength

本文运用熵值法,对1998和2007年各省域的高等教育发展实力进行了综合评价,发现我国高等教育的发展格局逐步由沿海与内陆、南部与北部的区域发展不平衡转换为东、中、西三大地区之间不平衡。同时运用基尼系数和加权变异系数等方法,对各省域的高等教育发展实力差异进行了定量分析。

This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation, index system of the strength of regional higher education development from the aspects of gross scale, equal amounts level and structural efficiency. And by using entropy method to evaluate comprehensively the higher education＇s development strength of every province from 1998 to 2007, this paper discovers that the spatial development pattern of higher education in our country gradually moves from the imbalance of regional development between the coastal and inland, the southern and northern regions to the imbalance among the three regions, that is, the eastern, central and western regions. Besides, with the methods of goridie coefficient, weighted variation coefficient and the analysis based on the difference of higher education＇s development strength in every province, this paper concludes that the difference mainly shows in the gross scale.
