经济地理学视角下长三角区域一体化研究进展

Research Progress of Regional Integration of Yangtze River Delta from the Perspective of Economic Geography

区域一体化通过推动区域间资源共享与经济合作能够有效促进区域发展,长三角区域一体化作为国家发展战略已成为经济地理学界关注的重要议题。文章利用知识图谱可视化技术对经济地理学领域长三角区域的学术研究现状进行分析,并基于系统文献阅读探索区域一体化议题的研究进展。研究表明,经济地理学界关于长三角区域一体化研究的学术规模、学科开拓性和学术共同体建设有待提升;相关研究已形成产业协作与空间组织、城市分工与区域发展、区域交通网络、区域协同管治和区域高质量一体化发展五个方面,发现了长三角区域协同的网络化、圈层化、多中心、沿交通线路发展的格局,以及邻近性、集聚效应、溢出效应、政府博弈在一体化中的作用;研究重点从格局刻画转向机制和对策探究,研究认知也从强调区域分工合作到区域协同、区域一体化不断升级,但囿于测度数据及方法的有限性,区域一体化研究仍处于待发展的探索争鸣期。

Regional integration can effectively promote regional development by promoting inter-regional resource sharing and economic coordination. As national development strategy, Yangtze River Delta integration has become an important issue of concern in the field of economic geography. With the help of the knowledge map visualization technology to analyze the academic research status of the Yangtze River Delta region, this study explores the research progress of regional integration in economic geography based on systematic literature reading. The results show that: 1)Academic research about the regional integration of Yangtze River Delta needs further attention,more academic creativity and closer academic community. 2) Research on regional integration of the Yangtze River Delta concentrates on five aspects: industrial cooperation and spatial organization, urban division and regional development, regional transportation network and integrated high-quality development,and has formed the pattern of multi-center,layered and transportationoriented network. Proximity, agglomeration effect, spillover effect and the influence mechanism of government game in integration act as essential impact factors in the integration process. 3) Research focus on regional integration of the Yangtze River Delta has shifted from pattern description to mechanism and countermeasures exploration, and research cognition has been constantly upgraded from emphasizing regional division of labor and cooperation, to regional coordination and to regional integration. However, due to the limitation of measurement data and methods, new interpretation of regional integration still needs further exploration and debate.
