“一带一路”高质量共建阶段的国外节点城市选择——基于网络社会理论的实证研究

The Selection of Foreign Node Cities during the High-Quality Co-Construction Stage of the “The Belt and Road” Initiative:An Empirical Study Based on the Theory of Network Society

高质量共建“一带一路”是携手推动构建人类命运共同体的重要路径,而推进“一带一路”高质量共建需要以国外重要节点城市为战略空间依托。已有文献多以国内城市为研究对象,或关注国家尺度和定性方法,较少在全局层面对“一带一路”沿线国外城市开展定量研究,可能导致针对性不强、落地性较弱。基于Manuel Castells提出的网络社会理论和分析工具,综合评估“一带一路”沿线350个国外城市的节点功能,发现具有网络化发展潜力和网络化发展水准的节点城市集中分布于西欧、东亚和东欧。基于可达性和城市网络分析结果,形成了以34个重要节点城市为核心高质量共建“一带一路”的空间组织方案。创新点在于从国外城市入手量化识别国外节点城市及其空间分布结构,可为“一带一路”高质量共建提供决策参考。

High-quality construciton of the“The Belt and Road” initiative is an important national strategy for strengthening global governance and building a community with a shared future for mankind.The layout of important node cities can have a multiplier effect on the in-depth advancement of“The Belt and Road” initiative.The literature mainly analyze the node functions of domestic cities,or take the countries as research target,whereas rarely conducted a comprehensive quantitative research on cities along“The Belt and Road” initiative in foreign countries.Based on the analysis tool of social network proposed by Castells,we evaluate the node functions of 350 foreign cities along the “The Belt and Road” and find that the important node cities mainly distributed in Western Europe,East Asia and Eastern Europe.By measuring the shortest travel time,we respectively formed the development timing and spatial strategies for key regions.The innovation lies in the quantitative identification of foreign node cities and their spatial distribution structure,which can provide decision-making reference for the high-quality co-construction of the “The Belt and Road” initiative.
