区域公共治理合作网络实证分析--以长三角城市群为例

Empirical analysis to the collaborative network for regional public governance: taking Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration for example

随着区域一体化与公共管理实践的互动发展,区域内不同结构形式和功能类型的合作网络逐步成为解决跨界性公共问题与化解区域治理困境的重要方式。采用社会网络分析方法,选取长三角城市群2001-2012年间16个中心城市合作网络数据样本,对区域公共治理合作网络的基本演化形式、结构属性及内部特征进行了分析。研究发现,长三角城市群区域治理合作关联呈现出交叉重叠的网络化结构特征,合作网络密度逐年增大,各城市在整体网络中的中心度较为均衡,但具有中介功能的枢纽型城市还很不发达,政府、市场与社会在合作网络中协作处理区域性公共事务,多层次参与、多中心协同、多种机制并存的区域公共治理格局已初步形成。

The emergence of large quantity of regional collaborative network based on different forms and functions has become an important way of resolving cross - boundary public problems and the regional governance dilemma. By social net- work analysis, this essay presents an empirical research on col- laborative networks of 16 central cities in the urban agglomera- tion of Yangtze River Delta Area from 2001 to 2012. It analyzes the evolutionary form, structural property and inside characteris~ tic of regional governance collaborative network. The results show that regional governance cooperative linkages present the networking and overlapping characteristics, the centrality of cit- ies in network is more balanced, and the hub city nodes with the broker function still undeveloped. The regional public govern- ance pattern featured by multi - level involving, multi - center cooperating and multi - mechanism co - existing has come into being.
