Abstract

Research background: Previous studies on the economic and social development of urban agglomerations mostly focus on a single primacy comparative analysis and efficiency evaluation. Spatial structure differentiation is an important feature of urban agglomeration. The lack of economic and social analysis on the spatial structure makes it impossible to determine the development positioning of each city in the urban agglomeration, which affects the sustainable economic devel-opment ability of these areas. Purpose of the article: The objective of the article is to analyze the spatial development law and experience of urban agglomeration, this study explores the practice of economic and population spatial structure of city areas in China. For this purpose, CPUA and its central city Zhengzhou was taken as an example, the spatial gradient structure of example was analyzed. Methods: Using economic and population data of 32 cities in this region, growth pole theory, and pole-axis theory, the economic and population spatial structure of urban agglomeration, the spatial gradient structure of central cities in urban agglomerations were analyzed with the method of cluster about radiation index. Findings & value added: (1) In the process of the formation of CPUA, the geo-graphical spatial pattern plays a decisive role in economic and social development. This is an experience from developing countries. (2) CPUA presents a gradient development pattern with Zhengzhou as the center, and economic and social development gradually radiates to the metropolitan area, the core development area, and the character development demonstration area. (3) The economic and social gradients of Zhengzhou, the central city, present the hierarchy rules and characteristics which are driven by the Beijing-Guangzhou-Railway axis and the Longhai-Railway axis. (4) The central city of Zhengzhou still presents insufficient primacy in regional development, which shows that Zhengzhou accounts for 6% of the population of the Central Plains Economic Zone and 14% of GDP, and insufficient agglomeration. Different countries at different stages of economic development have different urban agglomeration development models. The conclusions from China provide new decision-making ideas and methods for spatial structure research and development strategy analysis of urban agglomerations.

基于空间梯度和聚类的中国城市群社会经济空间结构分析

研究背景:以往对城市群经济社会发展的研究多集中在单一首位比较分析和效率评价上。空间结构分异是城市群的一个重要特征。由于缺乏对空间结构的经济社会分析，无法确定城市群中各城市的发展定位，影响了城市群经济的可持续发展能力。文章目的:本文旨在分析城市群的空间发展规律和经验，探索中国城市区域经济和人口空间结构的实践。为此，以中央商务区及其中心城市郑州为例，对其空间梯度结构进行了分析。方法:利用该地区32个城市的经济和人口数据，运用增长极理论和极轴理论，运用辐射指数聚类方法，对城市群经济和人口空间结构、城市群中心城市空间梯度结构进行分析。结果与增加值:(1)在CPUA形成过程中，地理空间格局对经济社会发展起决定性作用。这是发展中国家的经验。②中央商务区呈现以郑州为中心的梯度发展格局，经济社会发展逐步向都市圈、核心发展区、特色发展示范区辐射。③中心城市郑州的经济社会梯度呈现出以京广铁路和陇海铁路为驱动的等级规律和特征。④郑州中心城市在区域发展中的主导地位仍然不足，郑州人口占中原经济区人口的6%，GDP占中原经济区GDP的14%，集聚性不足。不同的国家在不同的经济发展阶段有不同的城市群发展模式。中国的研究结论为城市群空间结构研究和发展战略分析提供了新的决策思路和方法。

期刊介绍： The Oeconomia Copernicana is an academic quarterly journal aimed at academicians, economic policymakers, and students studying finance, accounting, management, and economics. It publishes academic articles on contemporary issues in economics, finance, banking, accounting, and management from various research perspectives. The journal's mission is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research that contributes to the development of these disciplines and has practical relevance. The journal encourages the use of various research methods, including falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of theories, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication, and a combination of qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, and meta-analytic approaches. While the journal prioritizes comprehensive manuscripts that include methodological-based theoretical and empirical research with implications for policymaking, it also welcomes submissions focused solely on theory or methodology.
