Spatial Dissimilarity Of Economies In The Yellow River Valley

The Yellow River valley is a special region which plays an overall,strategic role in China's regional economic development. Research on the economic spatial dissimilar pattern and discipline has an important impact on the optimization of economic spatial development, and promoting sustainable economic development in the Yellow River valley, as well as regional economic coordinated development in China.The regional economic spatial dissimilarity is an important domain of regional economic research. At present, the research achievements on regional economic spatial dissimilarity are quite abundant, but extremely little touch the economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley. Most of all, the comprehensive and systematical research achievements about the economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley are especially deficient.This article focuses on the following two issues which are closely related, one is the economic spatial dissimilar situation, the other is the economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms in the Yellow River valley. In the aspect of the economic spatial dissimilar situation in the Yellow River valley, on the basis of measuring the economic spatial dissimilar extent and distinguishing the economic spatial organization patterns, this article has analyzed the economic spatial dissimilar state and process in the Yellow River valley, and then using the method which the static analysis and the dynamic analysis are unified, this article has carried on the overall appraisal to the economic spatial dissimilar situation in the Yellow River valley from 1990 to 2006. In the aspect of the economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms, in view of the fact that the present academic circle has many research angles of view to the regional economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms, the unified theoretical frame to explain regional economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms has not yet taken form, so that this article embarks on the connotation of regional economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms, takes the economic growth factor's correlation theories and the labor division theory as the rationale and has constructed the theoretical frame of analyzing the economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms in the Yellow River valley. Using this theoretical framework, this article has analyzed the factor endowments decision function mechanism, the conductive function mechanism of labor division and the circulation accumulation causality mechanism of the economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley.Through the studies on the economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley, this article has obtained the following main conclusion.The regional economic spatial dissimilarity is the state and process which regional economic space becomes divided,regional economic spatial dissimilar situation is unification of regional economic spatial dissimilar state and process. The change of regional economic spatial dissimilar state forms regional economic spatial dissimilar process. Regional economic spatial dissimilar state includes two aspects which are regional economic spatial dissimilar extent and pattern. Regional economic spatial organization pattern is the basic structure shape of regional economic spatial dissimilar pattern, and economic spatial organization category divided according to the shape, structure and characteristics.Factor endowments, labor division and agglomeration are coupling and interacting. Under this relations' control, in the aspect of regional economic spatial dissimilarity, there are 3 mechanisms, which are both distinguishing mutually and inseparable, namely factor endowments decision function mechanism, the conductive function mechanism of labor division and the circulation accumulation causality mechanism.The economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley presented the situation which intensified day by day from 1990 to 2006. At present the economic spatial pattern is obviously imbalanced. The intensification of economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley displays in the following. First, the eastern's relative status enhanced gradually, the mid-western's relative status droped gradually, the dissimilarity between the eastern and the mid-western intensified day by day. Second, in the mid-western, the relative status of Inner Mongolia and Henan enhanced gradually, the relative of the other droped gradually, the dissimilarity in the mid-western intensified day by day. At present, the economic spatial dissimilarity in the Yellow River valley has come up to a higher extent, the economic spatial pattern in the Yellow River valley is obviously imbalanced. In the valley, the eastern's economic strength is strong, the eastern's economic space has presented the multiple-core-marginal structure, and high-leveled equalized tendency, the mid-western's whole economic strength is weak, and has few economic cores and increasing axis only. In the mid-western, the economic strength of Inner Mongolia and Henan are strong, the economic strength of the other are weak.The spatial dissimilarity of factor endowments in the Yellow River valley intensified day by day from 1990 to 2006. At present the factor endowments' spatial pattern is obviously imbalanced, the factor endowments' spatial dissimilar situation tallies with the economic spatial dissimilar situation relatively. Moreover, the coupling interaction relations among factor endowments, labor division and agglomeration existed obviously in the Yellow River valley from 1990 to 2006, the economic spatial dissimilarity in Yellow River valley was controlled by factor endowments decision function mechanism, the conductive function mechanism of labor division and the circulation accumulation causality mechanism. First, the single factor endowments's spatial dissimilarity exerted different forces to the economic spatial dissimilarity, the comprehensive factor endowments's spatial dissimilarity played the decision role in the economic spatial dissimilarity. Second, between comprehensive factor endowments' space dissimilarity and economic spatial dissimilarity, the labor division level's spatial dissimilarity played a conductive role, the comprehensive factor endowments' spatial dissimilarity realized the decision function to the economic spatial dissimilarity through the labor division level's spatial dissimilarity. Third, the economic spatial dissimilar process was the process that the economic spatial dissimilar original state or the economic spatial dissimilar state which has had a qualitative change, strengthened gradually in the space, the economic spatial dissimilar process displayed the obvious circulation accumulation causality characteristics in the Yellow River valley.Compared with similar studies, the new progress which this article has obtained displays in the following. This article has designed the evaluation method which is used to evaluate the economic spatial dissimilar situation in the Yellow River valley and can be used for the assessment of regional economic spatial dissimilar situation. This article has constructed the theoretical frame of analyzing the economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms in the Yellow River valley, and carried on the beneficial attempt in the aspect of system analysis and the dynamic analysis of regional economic spatial dissimilar mechanisms. This article has reveled the economic spatial dissimilar situation and mechanisms in the Yellow River valley, and provided a valuable case for the development of regional economic spatial dissimilar theory.
