长江中游城市群基本公共服务均等化现状评价与对策研究

An Evaluation and Countermeasure Study on the Current Situation of the Basic Public Services Equilibrium of the Urban Agglomerations of the Yangtze River Middle Reaches

推动基本公共服务均等化是实现长江中游城市群一体化发展的应有之义.文章基于综合评价法构建了一个包含5 个方面共13 个具体指标的基本公共服务指标体系, 采用变异系数和泰尔指数两种方法对长江中游城市群2008～2013 年的基本公共服务均等化现状进行测度分析, 得出长江中游城市群整体的基本公共服务均等化水平在此5 年间略有上升, 但在某些方面依然差异较大, 且3 个区域内部差异特别是武汉城市圈的内部差异是长江中游城市群基本公共服务非均等化的主导因素.进而结合得出的基本结论提出了政策建议.

For the integrated development of the urban agglomerations of the Yangtze River middle reaches, it is of great significance fostering the equilibrium configuration of basic public services. In this paper, using comprehensive evaluation method, we constructed an indicator system of basic public services, including 5 general indicators which are made up of 13 specific indicators. Employing both the coefficient of variance and the Theil Index, we measured and analyzed the current equilibrium configuration situation of the basic public services of the urban agglomerations of the Yangtze River middle reaches from 2008 to 2013. The results show that, although the equilibrium configuration level of the basic public services of the urban agglomerations of the Yangtze River middle reaches has been improved, the disparity in some aspects were still significant. In addition, the disparities within every city cluster/circle, especially that of Wuhan city circle, were the dominant elements of inequality. Finally,we proposed certain suggestions in reference to these conclusions.
