Research On The Industry Structure Adjusting In Resources-based Cities In The Middle Of Liaoning Province

Resource-based cities are the ones that rise or develop because of exploration of resource, and resources industries and resource-related industries occupy an important position in the structure on local economy. The industry structure of resource-based cities often depends on resource strongly so they will face plight when they develop to a certain stage. Northeast China is the most typical region for resources-based cities and the transformation of resource-based cities becomes the focus of revitalizing the old industrial bases in northeast. This paper chooses Anshan, Fushun and Benxi as study objects to study adjustment of industrial structure in resource-based cities.From the theory and principles in adjustment of industrial structure, resource-based cities in the middle of Liaoning province should vigorously develop modern agriculture and modern service industries. Domestic and foreign scholars have done a lot of research on resource-based cities, and there are many cases that resources-based cities have adjusted industry structure successfully. For example, Houston in United States, Ruhr area in German, Lorraine in France, etc. This paper analyzes transition cases of resource-based cities in domestic and foreign countries comprehensively, and then chooses modes of adjustment in three resource-based cities combining their own characteristics. Coal as the leading resource in Fushun has been exhausted, and this paper uses Locational Quotient to choose advanced industries and then uses Regional Comparative Advantage to choose its new dominant industry. Anshan still has abundant resources of iron, and this paper uses Industry Comprehensive Evaluation Method to forecast continuous industries. The coal industry in Benxi has ceased to exist and entire city economy is steel-shoring. Benxi should exploit their comparative advantages in resource and Geography to develop continuous industries.This paper comes to the following conclusions: Fushun should support the industry which is developing and growing well as new dominant industry; Anshan and Benxi on the one hand should lengthen the resource production chain, and on the other hand they should actively support new competitive industries; and then this paper puts forward measures to adjustment of industry based on Regional economic integration.
