解放初期江南的县域城镇化水平——以浙北20县1953年人口普查“乡镇”级资料为中心

Urbanization Level on County Scale in Regions South of the Yangtze River after the Founding of PRC:With the Data from the 1953 Demographic Census on 20 counties in Northern Zhejiang Province

市镇是江南地区城镇化水平研究的重要考察对象。解放初期江南市镇的"政区实体化"使得我们必须考察乡镇区划中"镇"的非农业人口情况,以确定其是否为城镇,并重视大量湮没于县以下行政区划的市镇是否有符合城镇标准的情况。1953年江南浙北地区20县共有500人以上城镇78个,城镇人口420697人,城镇化水平9.94%;2000人以上城镇54个,城镇人口388680人,城镇化水平9.18%。若将杭州、嘉兴、湖州三个城市的人口计入,则浙北地区的城镇化水平分别达到21.95%与21.31%。由此得出当时当地最接近于真实情况的城镇化水平。

In 1953, 20 counties in Northern Zhejiang Province have 78 towns with a population over 500, their total population was 420,697, and the urbanization level was 9.94 percent. 54 towns have a population over 2,000, their total population was 388,680, and the urbanization level was 9.18 percent. If Hangzhou, Jiaxing and Huzhou were included, then the urbanization level of these regions would be 21.95 percent and 21.31 percent.
