The Empirical Study Of Spatial Differentiation On Development Of Provincial Cultural Industry In China

Under the current financial crisis background, the culture has the reverse adjustment function facing the economy sliding and the cultural industry has the character of counter potential, which bring opportunities for our country to innovate the cultural system mechanism, to enlarge and strengthen the cultural industry. Most provinces in China conform to the current trend of industrial upgrading, put forward the goal of developing cultural industry vigorously, many areas even rise the cultural industry to the height of the leading industry. As an emerging industry, the cultural industry has become partial provinces and regions’main point of economic growth and consumption. Meanwhile, the competition between regional cultural industries is becoming intense day by day, the non-balanced development momentum of cultural industry is also very prominent in various areas of our country. In view of this, the study of factors, which influence our country provincial cultural industry development’s spatial differentiation, can not only promote cultural industry’s leap frog and sustainable development of various provinces and regions, but also the realistic needy of displaying the role of cultural industry to promote the economic growth and combating the economic recession.This article defines the meaning and characteristics of cultural industry, analyses and discusses the driving mechanism and influencing factors of our cultural industry. The factors include demand factors, supply factors and environmental factors in three categories. It analyses the spatial differentiation status of provincial cultural industry in China through Gini’s coefficient and spatial correlation, constructs a measurement model including the factors which influence spatial differentiation of provincial cultural industry in China, and then uses the Geoda software to carry on the spatial measurement analysis. Through the empirical study, this article may obtain the following conclusion: firstly, China’s cultural industry in general presents a layout like eastern gathering regions, central transition zone, western backward areas, the spatial differentiation is obvious, and there is a positive spatial dependence in the development of culture industries between various provinces. Secondly, the spatial factors do have an important influence to our development of provincial cultural industry. Thirdly, the area total output value, the human capital, the technical level and the urbanization rate have the obvious effect to the cultural industry’s development, they are also attribute to the space differentiation of provincial cultural industry in China. Rested on the conclusions above, there are some countermeasures to promote the development of Provincial Cultural industry in China.
