THE DEVELOPMENT OF AREAS WITH SPECIAL DIFFICULTIES IN WESTERN CHINA:COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION AND REGIONAL DIVISION
用改进的熵值法评价西部171个地级市，识别内部发展差距，将特殊困难地区划分为7个集中连片区域，并讨论开发方法。
Western China development promoted a rapid growth of regional economy,but also brought obvious contradictions: Western China is still lagging behind with significant disparities in internal development.Some areas,moreover,with seriously deep poverty,low standard public service and severe living environment,is in special difficulty.This paper evaluates 171 prefecture-level cities with improved entropy method to identify the significant disparities of Western China.According to geo-spatial coherence and consistent factor to poverty,this paper divides areas with special-difficulties into seven concentrated continuous parts.Finally,this paper discusses and puts forward some general methods to develop concentrated continuous areas with special difficulties.
