Study On Space Integration Of Development Zones In Urban Areas

Development zone is the main supporter of space structural adjustment, the main space of regional economic growth and the dense space for foreign investing. It makes great contribution for economic development of country and locality. Promoting growth of the industry grouping-together with development zone or industrial zone has become the mainstream paradigm. However, excessive disparity of industrial space causes many problems: disintegration of urban space structure, fragmentation of space resources, low effectiveness in using land resources, disorderly competition, ambiguous effect of industrial agglomeration and so on. Actually, competition exists between development zones in the same city. Realistic competition always misleads the competitors to take opposite pattern which decrease the entire effectiveness of the development zones in urban areas. The common contradiction is between industrial space and urban matrix, and other industrial space. Therefore, it has to build proper integration mechanism to decrease negative effect step by step, which is good for enhance the inherent coordination.The paper consists of five chapters. In Chapter 1, the paper introduces the research background and meanings, research status of home and abroad, research thought, structure and research methods. In Chapter 2, the paper clarifies the intension of development zone in urban areas and space integration, compares concerned concepts, and introduces the theory basis: Location theory, Industrial Agglomeration and Regional Competitive Advantage theory, Growth Pole theory and Urban Spatial Structure theory. In Chapter 3, the paper analyzes space location and structure patterns in urban areas, probes the practical difficulties and reasons of disintegration development. In Chapter 4, the paper takes Nanjing Development Zone as case to researches deeply; firstly, the paper introduces general situation, then analyzes the space location and economic effectiveness of provincial and national development zones in Nanjing; at last, probes the status of disintegration development of development of Nanjing and gives some advice for integration. In Chapter 5, the paper explains the conclusion, disadvantages and some field which needs to improve and expand.
