韦伯的工业区位论及其对我国区域经济研究的意义

Alfred Webber's industry theory of the location and its significance for the study of China's regional economy

本文对韦伯的工业区位论进行了分析、评价,认为他的工业区位论在相当程度上反映了市场经济条件下工业的空间分布规律,所分析的运输成本、劳动力成本、聚集因素等区位因素也是决定工业空间分布的几种最为重要的因素。因此,它既适应了我国当今区域经济发展的体制背景,所揭示的区位规律也对我国区域经济发展具有重要影响,因而这一理论对我国区域经济的研究有着重要意义。

This paper analyzes and comments on Alfred Webber抯 industry theory of the location. And it holds that his theory reflects to a larger extent the spatial distribution law of industry in market economy. Such location elements in his theory as transportation cost, labor cost and assembling factor are the most important ones to determine the industrial spatial distribution. And therefore it adapts to the background of developing China抯 regional economy. The location rule in his theory has great influence on the development of regional economy in China. So his theory still has significance for the study of regional economy in China.
