Analysis On The Pattern Of Regional Economic Space Polarization And Coordinated Dvelopment In Henan Province

As a member of"the rise of the central region"strategy, Henan Province has more population and lower level of economy than other cities. With the economic opening and globalization, the elements of Henan Province, such as telants,technology,information,etc, get a huge development. As a result of differences of natural resources, transportation, base installation and so on, between the 18 cities, the economic developments are not balanced. The polarization centers gradually formed. But with the economic continually developed, the regional economic asymmetry is intensified. The gaps will be increased ulteriorly between the polarization cities and others,meanwhile between the citis and the the villages. It is bound to obstruct the coordinated and sustainable development of regional economy in Henan Province. It is the focal point for Henan Province to resolve the problem in the period of"TWELVE FIVE".Through summarizding the interrelated research home and abroad carefully, we analysed the regional polarization in Henan Province 1994-2008 based on the Gini Coefficient, polarization index(Wolfson Index and Tsui - wang Index). At the same time, we made use of the software of ARCGIS to analyze it spatially.So make it more intuitive expression comes out with the form of image. Then we calculated the economic contacts between cities in Henan Province by use of the gravity model, divided the degree of the economic related strength. And we measured the mayor cities'geo-economic relations between the other cities with reference to Euclidean distance calculation method.Continually we matched the strength of economic contacts with the relationship of competition and cooperation, analyzed the surroundings and direction of the economic development for the mayor cities. Finally we came up with some suggeestion about the regional harmonious development. The possible innovative point in this paper was that we made calculating the space polarization and counting related economic strength and geo-economy linked closely to research the regional sustainable development.Through qualitative and quantitative research, we obtained these results: the economic levels of Henan Province 1994-2008 do not have too big gaps. But from the development strategy and trend of it in recent years, it is easy to see that regional gap will increase. In 2008 Henan has basically formed five polarization center cities: Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Hebi, Shangqiu, Zhumadian. In the future economic development, Zhengzhou should start more extensive cooperation with Jiaozuo, Xuchang, Jiyuan, etc. Luoyang should strengthen economic cooperation with Pingdingshan. Hebi should enhance economic contacts and cooperation with Zhengzhou, concrete analysis stronger contact areas in economy with Puyang and strengthen these contacts. Shangqiu should avoid the vicious competition with Kaifeng and Zhoukou. Meanwhile, it should enhance economic ties with Zhengzhou. Zhumadian should pay more attention to economic exchanges with Zhengzhou. At the same time, it should expand economic cooperation with Xinyang, and excavations complementary places between the two cities.
