In this paper we explore the improved M function of geographic concentration that adds the parameter of the number of firms according to the definition of geographic concentration of industries. The spatial distribution of the main manufacturing industries of Lanzhou urban area is evaluated based on it. The results of the evaluation imply that the spatial distribution of the main manufacturing industries is more concentrated than that of others in Lanzhou and it can absorb lots of labor forces. But the incidence, competition ability and density of the distribution of enterprises are different for each single sector, and enterprises with different production features are located closely. And three main problems are discovered. Finally, three countermeasures are put forward: locating the industrial enterprises in urban areas in a proper way through planning and policies; adjusting the industrial structure of the inner city; strengthening the local rearrangement of the existing industrial concentration areas.展开更多

The analysis indicates that average industrial concentration has increased during the 1990s. Studies show that scale economies and industry policies are important determinants for industries geographical concentration; factor endowments and the location of foreign direct investment are also found to have a positive effect on concentration.展开更多

By applying these methods, total tourism agglomeration, agglomeration of tourism factors and regional agglomeration differences were studied. The results showed that the overall agglomeration increases as time flows, and the eastern part is the most agglomerated, the west takes the second, with the middle ranking the least. The large-scale agglomeration regions are Sanya and Haikou. The influencing factors of Hainan tourism spatial agglomeration were concluded as tourism resource endowment, industrial attributes, geographic conditions, governmental policies and the overall economic development level, etc. In addition, the paper proposed tourism spatial agglomeration modes of Hainan Province at various spatial scales.展开更多
