The Research of the City's Development Level Based on Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis

城市发展水平是一个国家或地区经济和社会发展水平的重要标志。对不同地区的城市发展状况进行分类和排序,有利于各地区清晰地了解该地区的城市发展状况,也有利于政府制定相关的政策措施促进各地区城市发展水平的均衡性发展。本文以中国大陆31个省、自治区、直辖市的城市发展水平为研究对象,根据2012年中国统计年鉴,综合运用因子分析和聚类分析等统计学方法,对31个地区的城市发展水平进行定量化的综合评价。结论认为,中国各地区的城市发展水平并没有呈现非常明显的阶梯式分布,在城市建设的各个方面互有优劣,都有需要加强和改善的地方。
