THE SPATIAL DISPARTIES OF REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE URBANIZATION LEVEL OF VICE PROVINCIAL CITY IN CHINA FROM 1997
研究了1997-2003年中国15个副省级城市的综合城镇化水平空间差异，发现东部领先中西部且差距扩大，城市群内部分为两个层级，各子系统空间差异各异。
The spatial units in this study are the 15 vice provincial cities.By AHP, the paper estimates the annual Regional Comprehensive Urbanization Level of every city in 1997-2003.At first,through comparing the Spatial Disparties of Regional Comprehensive Urbanization Level,the paper reach some conclusion. the city of east China remains ahead of the city of west-central China,and the margin is extending continuously, but the margin between west China and central China is not obvious. The form of steps degree difference from south China to north China is obvious, and the city of central China develop quickly. The margin of Urban Agglomerations is obvious too, and it can be divided to two level of structure. Secondly, through comparing the Spatial Disparties of Urbanizational sub-system and it's change, the paper has found that the martin of space concentration level of urbanization is similar to the margin of comprehensive level, and the space margin in economic progress, construction of infrastructural facilities, preserve of the ecologic and environment is obvious, but the space margin in social progress is minor. Thirdly, the spatial disparity and it's change since 1997 is analyzed from three perspectives, namely overall regional space pattern of our country, urbanization foundation, region response to globlization, region diversity of system innovation and administrative system of urban and rural and region.
