The Internal Relationship Between Harbors And The Economic Growth Pole Of The Seaports

Throughout ancient and modern history, port cities'industry development is closely related to port itself. The example that domestic port cities are mainly top developed metropolitans proves that port takes a positive role for economic development. This thesis which leverages French economist Fransois Perroux's theory of the economic growth pole summarizes port city's concept of economic growth pole in order to find out trend and character of china port city's economic growth, meanwhile find out port city's economic growth pole through analyzing correlation between port city's industries growth and Port Throughput.This thesis firstly introduces current status of domestic and international port city, the theory of economic growth pole and correlation, then proves intrinsic relationship between economic and port growth of port cites by giving some examples of Euro and China port cities, finally build mathematical analysis model to calculate their correlation, ultimately by using port throughput, industry growth, etc. indicators data of domestic four classic port cities which are Shanghai, Ningbo, Tianjin and Guangzhou, find out port city's economic growth poles are transport storage and post industry, wholesale/retail industry and finance and insurance industry. Besides analyzing behind reason that these four industries become port city's growth pole, this thesis also take Yang Shan port city as an example to gives some constructive suggestions on how to develop port cities and their economic development.The innovative idea of this thesis is to use the theory of economic growth pole to analysis correlation between port and port city and leverage correlation coefficient theory to calculate their relevance.The significance and value of this study: China which currently has about 1400 ports plans to build 164 deep water ports, vigorously develop port city economic which finally promote the development of mainland cities.The study on port cities'economic growth pole can provide more accurate reference and suggestions to develop port and port cities'industry.
