Model And Mechanism Of Economic Transformation Of Petroleum Cities

The resources-based cities’ economic transformation is the major issue of our nationalregional economy at present, and it is the important field of research and practice of thegeography. As the part of the resources-based cities system, the petroleum cities are also facedwith a series of problems, such as the gradual depletion of recoverable oil resources, morelaid-off workers, environmental degradation, and international crude oil price fluctuations,urban spatial dispersion and lack of urban fuctionl etc. The economic transformation ofpetroleum cities is a complex theoretical and practical issue, and it is needed to study on thescientific theory and model of transformation. This study combined the geography, industrialeconomics, regional economics, sustainable development and other related theory andmethods to research the mechanism and model of the economic transformation. On account ofthe sustainable reality for the petroleum cities’ needs, with the research route oftheory-method-practice, and general-special-general,this paper made a systematic analysis ofpetroleum cities’ economic transformation mechanism, and formed a theoretical framework ofthe economic transformation opportunity.Then the paper put forward the theoretical modelsand elements of petroleum cities’ economic transformation based on the economictransformation opportunity.In order to verify the feasibility of the theory model of theeconomic transition in practical application, the paper select the typical petroleum city–Daqing city as a case study. The paper is divided into five parts:The first chapter is introduction. This is the paper preparation section. Based on thesystematical summary of the research progress that the economic transformation ofresources-based cities and patrolmen cities at home and abroad, the paper represent thetheoretical significance and the practical value, and then present the research plan andresearch route..The second chapter is the basic theoretical analysis. Based on the summary of theconcept of petroleum cities and economic transformation, the paper systematicallysummarized the basic theory of the paper.The urban development theory, industrial structuretheory, sustainable development theory, region development theory and urban space structuretheory are important theory base to guild the economic transformation of petroleum cities, andthen the paper put forward a theoretical framework of petroleum cities’ economictransformation.The third chapter is the study of economic transformation mechanism. In this section, thepaper systematically revealed the development mechanism and the evolution law of thepetroleum cities, and clarified the main responsibility body of the economic transformation, then described the effects of the petroleum cities economic transformation. This section is thetheory basis for the selection of the economic transformation opportunity and thetransformation model. of the petroleum cities.The forth chapter is the study of economic transformation model. This section is the key,difficulty and innovation of this paper. In this section, the paper described the elements ofeconomic transformation model, analyzed the constitutional elements and the internal logicrelationship, then formed the analysis framework of economic transformation opportunityfrom the four angles of resource utilization program, industrial structure evolution, spacestructure evolution and eco-environmental change., and then the paper put forward to thetheoretical model of economic transformation of petroleum cities based on the transformationopportunity.The fifth chapter is case study. In this section, the paper took the typical petroleum city–Daqing city as a case study for striving to integrate theory with practice. Based on theanalysis of overview of Daqing area, it revealed economic transformation mechanism, andevaluated the economic transformation achievement, then determined the economictransformation opportunity of Daqing city, at last the paper proposed the selection ofeconomic transformation model.
