In the context of China’s urbanization entering the development of urban agglomerations as the main form,the spatial correlation of housing prices in the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomerations has become more and more obvious.To clarify the spatial correlation of house prices among cities is of great significance to ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster and the coordinated development of the region.Based on the statistical data of each city in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster from 2011 to 2020,this paper uses the gravity model to construct the spatial association network of house prices,uses the social network analysis method to measure and analyze the structure of the spatial association network of house prices,and finally uses QAP analysis to explore the influencing factors of the spatial association of house prices.The study found that:(1)During the study period,there existed asymmetric correlations of house prices among cities in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster,and the overall structure of the spatial correlation network of house prices was relatively stable,but the degree of correlation of house prices among cities was not high.(2)Shanghai,Nanjing,Wuxi,Suzhou,Changzhou and Hangzhou are the centers of influence in the spatial correlation network of the Yangtze River Delta cities,and Ningbo,Zhenjiang,Yangzhou,Hefei and Xuancheng are the subcenters of influence,while Fuyang,Anqing,Bengbu,Huainan and Suqian have a more obvious role in the spatial correlation network of house prices.The role of each plate in the spatial correlation network is different.(3)The greater the gap in economic development,income level,financial development and tertiary industry,the closer the cities in the same province and geographic distance,the easier it is to generate the correlation between housing prices.Based on the results of the study,corresponding suggestions are made from several aspects,such as the restructuring of the spatial correlation network of house prices in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster and policy formulation,aiming to provide reference for the government in formulating policies to ensure the stable and healthy development of the real estate market in the Yangtze River Delta city cluster and promote the coordinated development of the region.Figure[12] table[13] reference[93]... |
