Analysis Of The Urban-rural Equalized Development In Shandong Province Under The Background Of The New Urbanization

With the speeding up of urbanization process and the adjustment of economic structurestrategic transformation, new urbanization rose to national development strategy, Thus,Promoting the urban-rural equalized development has become the biggest task of the currenturban-rural relations. On the basis of the new urbanization refers to the urbanization, with theguidance of the scientific concept of development, Construction of intensive conservation,green low-carbon process, ecological harmony, urban and rural integration process of newtown. Urban-rural equalized development means to be in the process of achieving theirrespective development, realize the urban-rural coordinated development, urban-ruralcomplementary development. To achieve the urban-rural equalized development in ShandongProvince under the background of the new urbanization, we must base on present situation ofurbanization in Shandong province. This paper selects the four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang,Fujian, Guangdong as comparative objects, the four provinces are comparable to Shandongprovince in terms of social development of Shandong province, the national economy status,and natural resources endowment, etc. This paper analyzes the characteristics of theurbanization and present situation and existing problems of the urban-rural equalizeddevelopment in the new urbanization, and then analyze the influence factors of urban-ruralequalized development; Suggestions put forward to promote the urban-rural equalizeddevelopment in Shandong Province. The full text is divided into six sections:The first part is the introduction. The introduction mainly includes the paper selectedtopic background, research significance, the domestic and foreign related research and thepresent situation, the research train of thought and main research methods, on the wholesummary of this article main content and research direction.The second part is the concept of the intension and the theoretical basis of the new typeof urbanization and urban-rural equalized development. It mainly elaborated the basicconcept and connotation of the new urbanization and urban-rural equalized development, as well as supporting the balanced development of urban and rural areas, Including urban-ruralintegration theory, theory of lewis’ dual economy structure, central town embeddeddevelopment theory of narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas, economicregion movement theory and population migration theory, etc.The third part is the analysis of the situation for the urban-rural equalized development inthe process of urbanization in Shandong Province. This part mostly analyzes the evolutionaltrend of Shandong Province urbanization, and summarizes the characteristics of urbanizationof Shandong province on the basis of comparison with that of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian andGuangdong，it has the following characteristics:the overall level urbanization is low, regionalurbanization development is unbalanced, urbanization is on a small scale, the development ofsmall towns is slow, urbanization lagging behind industrialization, etc.; and then it analyzesthe urban-rural equalized development during urbanization process. This part establishes theindex system by using the urban and rural development data of Shandong Province during theperiod of1984-2013, and then calculates the degree of urban-rural equalized development inShandong Province by the entropy weight method. In the end, it analyzes of thecharacteristics and problems for urban-rural equalized development in Shandong Province.The degree of urban-rural equalized development in Shandong Province during the period of1984-2013presents the following characteristics as first fall fast, steady development to slowrecovery; also faces the urbanization and industrialization development unbalanced; ruraleconomic development level is relatively backward; urban social resource allocation; theurban and rural dual system lead to the urban-rural equalized development is unbalanced.Finally, this part analyzes the regional differences and the typical patterns of the urban-ruralequalized development of17cities in Shandong Province in2013.The fourth part is the analysis of driving factors to urban-rural equalized development inShandong Province. Firstly, it analyzes the main factors of the urban-rural equalizeddevelopment, which includes the status of regional economic development, the promotingrole of industrialization, and the transfer of rural’s surplus labor to cities as well as the policyfactors. Secondly, it analyzes the relevance between urban-rural equalized development,urbanization, and industrialization by the method of Gray Correlation Analysis, so that we canfind out the inner mechanism of conjunctional development between them, Through the empirical analysis, we find that the industrialization has bigger impact on urban-ruralequalized development than urbanization.The fifth part is the strategic option for the urban-rural equalized development in theprocess of urbanization of Shandong Province. Based on the present situation of theurban-rural equalized development in Shandong Province, this paper puts forwardcountermeasure and advice which can promote this process, including enhancing urbanizationquality, consummating basic public service, increasing financial investment to rural, relying onurban to boost rural by land policies,promoting the industrial structure transformation, developing the cultural industry and so on.Finally, this paper points out a summary of three recognitions. Firstly, the process ofurbanization in Shandong Province has entered the middle stage of urbanization development,however, compared with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, there is a big gap inurbanization level. Secondly, the urban-rural equalized development, which still has manyproblems, is the key to the process of urbanization. The third, joint efforts and furthercountermeasures should be made to promote the urban-rural equalized development inShandong Province.
