民国时期南京特别市行政区域划界研究

Research on the Administrative Demarcation of Nanking City in Particular during the Republican Period

幅员和边界是政区的基本要素。城市型政区作为一种新型的政区类型,肇始于民国时期,是从原地域型政区中切块设置而来。在设市之初,并没有现成的法律、法规加以规范,因此市的范围到底应该划多大就成为新设之市府与原地域型政区(即其划离之母体)之间首先需要解决的问题。通过考察南京特别市行政区域边界的划定过程,展示了城市型政区幅员划定过程中的各种冲突以及在中国近代市制完善过程中所起的作用。

The area and the boundary are the two basic factors of political division. The brand-- new city--type political division which initiated in the Republican Period was originated from the for- mer regional--type division. At the very beginning, there were no existing laws to regulate the setting up of cities. Therefore, the exact area of the city remained the primary problem to be solved between the newly established city and its original regional political division. The research on the process of administrative demarcation of Nanking City in particular revealed the variety of conflicts appeared dur- ing the demarcation of city--type political division and its impact on the completion of city system in Modern China.
