民间组织的省域分布研究

The Provincial Distribution of Civil Organizations in China

利用2007年省级层次的经验数据,本文对中国民间组织的省域分布及其影响因素进行了探索性的量化研究。研究发现,无论是民间组织的总体规模,还是社会团体、民办非企业单位和基金会的规模,它们的省域分布都表现出高度的不均衡性,民间组织主要集中在少数省份。民间组织的省域分布很大程度上受制于地区经济发展水平,经济发展水平越高的省份,民间组织越发达;人口数量、城市化水平和市场化程度对特定类型民间组织的省域分布也有一定的影响。

Using province-level data in 2007, this paper explores quantitatively the provincial distribution of civil organizations and its effect factors in China. The result show that there are evidently unbalance distributions of civil organizations among provinces whether by overall or by different types. These unbalance distributions largely result from the levelof regional economic development. The higher GDP of one province, the larger the size of civil organizations is. Population size, urbanization, and marketization also have somewhat contributions to the provincial distribution of specific types of civil organizations.
