Spatial Differentiation of Rurality and Analysis of Its Driving Factors in Zhejiang Province
研究了2003年和2012年浙江省乡村性的空间分布及其变化，发现乡村性呈高值集聚且热点区集中在云和地区，产业结构、政府投资和行政区划调整是主要驱动因素。
This thesis selected rurality as the research perspective to assess the comprehensive level of urbanization and economic in Zhejiang Province in 2003 and 2012. Based on the entropy and spatial autocorrelation method, this paper estimated rurality and its spatial distribution sharply. Furthermore, the authors try to analyze the causation of spatial differentiation of rurality from market force, intrinsic force, exterior force and administrative force aspects, and the conclusions as follows:(1)the situation of rurality in Zhejiang Province, mainly develops stable, which shows declining from Lishui and Quzhou city to Hangzhou- Jiaxing- Huzhou and Ningbo- Shaoxing plain;(2)the spatial distribution of rurality keeps high-cluster, and the cluster model of high level rurality area seems more evident.Compare with 2003, the spatial distribution of rurality has the tendency to heighten on clustering. The pattern of rurality spatial distribution is stable in both 2003 and 2012. The hot spot rurality area circles with Yunhe region as the center, where is the valley of urbanization in Zhejiang; Meanwhile the cold spot rurality area mainly distributes ring in Hangzhou Bay, where has high level of economic and urbanizatio;(3)the development of industrial structure especially marine industry, investment and adjustment of administrative division from government, agricultural mechanization and international trade were the primary factors of rurality and its space structure variation from 2003 to 2012.
