Study On The Urbanization In The West China

Urbanization is an important symbol of a country or an area's social and economic development, and a necessary history phase in a society's progress and on human's way to civilization. As an important part of China's urbanization, the West's urbanization not only drops far behind China's average but also behind the West's own social and economic development. It also restricts China's whole development and goes against the socialism harmonious and the comfortably-off society construction. The research sorts out the West's urbanization evolvement based on its basic condition, development history, current situation and strategic conception; and puts up that the promotion of the West's urbanization must set foot on reality, develop its advantage and stress its characteristics by analyzing its strong and weak points, also points out its opportunity and challenge.First, the research gives an all-round analyze to the West in lights of its natural condition, economic development and humane environment. The research points out that the West's natural condition has some advantages, such as abundant resource and distinguishing tourism resource. But it also has some disadvantages, namely complex landform, worsening entironment etc. And its society and economy development is comparatively lagging; the economy development between different parts within the West itself is not even. Besides it's anfractuosity humane environment also contributes to the lag of the West's urbanization process. All this facts suggests the urbanization should be pushed forward by envisaging the reality, basing upon its realistic condition and adjusting measures to the local conditions.Looking back the West's urbanization in history, the research comes to its characteristics. Firstly, clear features in different phases. In feudalism society, administration centers, having obvious political functions, in all levels developed. In latter days, the development hovered. After the foundation new China, affected by the nation's policy change in different period, the West's urbanization fluctuated, forward and backward now and then. After the reform and opening up, it came to a healthy development, especially has being pushed forward greatly by the implementation of the development of the West policy. Secondly, prominent government's leading role steers the West's development direction and speed.Further, the research carries out an analyze to the West's realistic development conditions. First, it sums up major problems existing in the West's development. Second, it analyzes many factors restricting the development, mostly the policy and system obstacle and geography space diseconomy, besides dissatisfactory entironment, slow and uneven economy development and low populace quality. At last, it studies some favorable factors, namely our nation's policy support, preferential policy, comparative profit drive, informationization, information technology development and system innovation etc.The research discusses the government's role orientation, conduct select and system innovation in the West's urbanization. The government plays an extremely important role in the development resulting from the West's dominant superior to inferior administration mode. It also tells about the government's conduct selection focus, for example, to frame the urbanization strategy, to make city development program, to improve public service and so on. Besides, it also puts up that the government should tax on resource exploration timely, establish and perfect the regional zoology compensation mechanism; to boost the West's harmonious and sustainable development by the means of system innovation.The paper has explored a Western-characterized way of urbanization, which is accompanied by the following suggestions: To bring the resource advantage of the western china into full play; to build resource-rich towns on the concept of sustainable development; to combine the Eco-Emimigration with urbanization and lead a Eco-urbanization road in the areas with weak eco environment; to develop a concentrated belt basing on the artery traffic; To set up and promote towns with border trade and garrison as their mainstay; to make progress in developing Western China featured tourism towns and cities rely on the unique tourism resource; different areas should adjust measures to local conditions, choose a suitable mode of urbanization and speed non-agricultural system of the local people and industry.At last, the research puts up an idea on the build-up of urban system in the western China and development strategy for future urbanization. This paper illustrates the targets and key points of urbanization of the west part: To set up a scale structure through which every level of town and city can be evenly and reasonably distributed and a function structure with clear function division together with space structure having solid layout. This paper also brings forward an general thought which stands out the features of the west part and the road of diversified urbanization as well as achieving the extensive development in regional areas; it points out that a certain principle should be followed namely zoological protection, planning the urban and rural areas as a whole, stressing on extension expansion and intension improvement equally, adjusting the process urbanization to the economy development and giving attention to the regional diversity and sustainable development; and sets the following targets, that is, to basically realize the urbanization till the middle period of this century and fully improve the quality of urban life through putting the development of the big and middle cities as the center and following the road of all levels of towns and cities developing harmoniously; It summarizes the special situation of the west part of China, and points out the related stuff should be cautious in developing the small towns and cities, therefore it suggests that the towns with good conditions should be chosen as the development targets.
