Study On The Integration Of Regional Economic Development And Transportation System Of Shaanxi Province

Transport industry is the basic industry of national economy, and plays indispensable role in it. Transportation is to connect the production, distribution, exchange, consumption and impact of social ties, the key factor in economic development. With the development of human civilization and progress of science and technology, transportation has also transformed from the original transport to the modern transport. In modern society and economy, the effect of transportation is increasing. Compared with Western countries, the development of China's modernization of transport started late. Despite the rapid development, the modern transportation system has begun to take shape. But from the social-economic development and modernization requirements, there is still a gap. Exploring the modern transportation system, which can adapt to the current requirements of social and economic development, has important theoretical and practical significance.With the deepening of international division of labor and strengthening of economic globalization; regional integration has become an irreversible trend and fashion of world economic development. Most countries in the world have chosen it as the inevitable measurement to promote regional economic development and enhance regional competitiveness. Hence the "Eleventh Five-year Plan", our country has promoted regional integration as a major regional economic development strategy. In the new wave of reform of 21st century, regional integration will play a very important role. As a subsystem of regional economic system, there exists a close relationship between transport and regional economic. Both of them promote each other, but also restrict the other. Regional transportation integration has become the object basis and inevitable requirement of regional integration.Shaanxi Province locates in the gateway of Northwest China, and is the hub and bridge to connect Northwest, Central and Eastern regions. Advantageous geographic conditions for Shaanxi province has made it become the core region and front zone of the Western Development Strategy. Shaanxi shoulders dual functions of undertake and radiation in the strategy. has released. The plan has not only provided a rare opportunity for the development of Shaanxi province, but also given Shaanxi the historic mission, which is to be the leader in the development of western regional integration. Shaanxi requires for the development of regional economic integration, aligned with integrated transport system as the basis and support. At present, the integration of economy and transport of Shaanxi province are still in the early stage. There are still many problems in theory and practice need to be researched and explored constantly in depth.The thesis took the development status of regional economy and transportation of China and Shaanxi province as the background, the Transport Economics and Regional Economics as the theoretical platform, exploring for the transportation system, which adapt to the requirements of the development of regional economy as research main line, constructing the regional integrated transportation system based on the regional economic integration as the target, the main research work to do as following:First, the review theories of the Transport and Regional Economics, the evaluation on gradient theory, radiation theory, regional integration theory, metropolitan theory and location theory. Through integration the above theories, combing with the research question, presented the new understandings on the development of transport and regional economy that regional economic integration is the main objective of regional economic development, metropolitan economy is the main carrier and basic model to achieve regional economic integration, the construction of regional transportation system should not only consider the external factor as the impact of regional economy, but also the endogenous factor as the role of location condition. Second, made more in-depth analysis on the theory of regional integration and urban circle, the relationship between transportation and regional economic development, the meaning, characteristics, content and motivation of regional integration transport system, and also introduced the typical integration transport system of domestic and international metropolitan as the beneficial reference for the construction of regional integration transport system of Shaanxi province. Third, On the basis of qualitative analysis, the thesis took Shaanxi province as empirical object, and used Correlation Analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Grey Prediction to made quantitative analysis on the correlation, comprehensive evaluation and fitness of regional economy and transport system, as well as the development forecast of them. Forth, based on the above research, the thesis discussed on the structure and layer of regional economic integration of Shaanxi province, and then put forward the views and suggestions on the framework and implements measures of the compatible regional integration transportation system.The thesis made four innovations as following:first, through the perspective of regional economic development and location choice to study the transportation problems. Second, proposed basic mode of the regional integration transportation system based on regional economic integration. Third, using mathematical models to made quantitative analysis on the correlation, fitness of regional economy and transport system, as well as the development prediction of them. Forth, proposed the basic model of regional economic integration of Shaanxi province, and the regional integration transportation system based on it.
