Employment Effect of the Resource-abundant Industrial Cluster in Southwestern Region of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China——A Case of Chongzuo City

Taking Chongzuo City of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as an example, the employment effect of the resource-abundant industrial cluster in southwestern Guangxi Province is analyzed according to the data from the Chongzuo Statistical Yearbook , Guangxi Statistical Yearbook from 2003 to 2008 and the data from the relevant sections of Chongzuo City, and the four employment effects of industrial cluster--the spatial expansion effect of employment chain, optimizing effect of employment structure, the multiplier effect of employment absorption and the effect of improving the quality of labors and the degree of the intensity of employment and location quotient of employment. Results show that the employment absorption of sugar industry in Chongzuo City is stable and upward slightly, and it shows strong employment effect; the sugar industry in Chongzuo is not only competitive, but also has a great share of market in employment, so it owns strong absorption of employment. The countermeasures for improving the employment level of resource-abundant and industrial cluster in southwest of Guangxi Province are put forward, including elongating industrial chain and widening employment space; strengthening various kinds of formal and informal training to improve the employment capability of laborers; laying stress on industrial structure and optimizing the employment structure; strengthening the construction of the industrial economic zone towards ASEAN(Association of Southeast Asian Nations), and fully displaying the regional advantages of the offshore border.

Analysis of Spatial Mismatch of Tourism Development in Guangdong Province

The spatial mismatch situation of tourism development in Guangdong Province is analyzed by gravity model and two-dimensional matrix based on the spatial mismatch hypothesis,and the results are visualized using Arc GIS software.This study finds that varying degrees of spatial mismatch exist between the level of tourism development,abundance of tourism resources and accessibility of tourism locations in the 21 cities in Guangdong Province.The gravity centers for tourism economy,tourism resources and tourism location are（113.55°E,23.00°N）,（113.69°E,23.21°N）and（113.74°E,22.86°N）,respectively.According to the two-dimensional combinatorial matrices,synchronous development is shown in 10 prefecture-level cities for the tourism revenue-resource abundance combination,whereas it is shown in seven prefecture-level cities for the tourism revenue-tourism location combination.Guangzhou and Shenzhen are synchronous-double high zones for both combinations,while Foshan,Qingyuan,Yangjiang,Zhongshan and Jieyang are deviating-negative mismatch zones for both combinations.Furthermore,the vast majority of prefecture-level cities within the province currently present mismatching trends in tourism development.Based on the analysis results,corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are put forward taking into account the actual situation and opportunities for further tourism development in various prefecture-level cities.
