Study on the Relationship between the City and the Rivers in the County Administrative Center of Shaanxi Province

Abstract

城市的形成、发展和演变与河流水系有着密不可分的关系。河流是影响和制约城市空间结构的重要因素。通过对陕西省的河流与县级行政中心城区资料的考察后发现：河流左岸的城区多于右岸，干支交汇处也易形成城市。这一结论与地理学中河流的流水作用——凸岸堆积，凹岸侵蚀——密切相关。 The formation, development and evolution of the city have a close relationship with the river sys-tem. River is an important factor to affect and restrict the urban spatial structure. Through the study of data that rivers and county administrative center in Shaanxi Province we can find: The city in left bank is more than the right bank, also interchange of main rivers and branch rivers are easy to form city. Those conclusions are bound up with fluvial action of river in geography—  convex bank accumulation and concave bank accumulation.
