The Spatial And Temporal Pattern Evolution And Spatial Matching Of Population And Economy In Shandong Province

The relationship between population and economy was the core issue of regional sustainable development.The spatial distribution of population and economy was consistent with regional balanced development;and it didn't match with regional imbalanced development.Moderate mismatches could promote the flow of regional factors,and enhance the efficiency of regional economic development,but the over high degree of mismatch would have a negative impact on regional sustainable development.Shandong Province was one of the major provinces of population and economy in China.Studying about the spatial distribution of population and economy and the correspondence;analyzing the factors affecting the spatial relation;and putting forward the corresponding countermeasures and suggestions aimed at providing decision-making reference for the government,to guide development plans of population and economy.It was important for regional coordinated and sustainable development.Taking 17 cities as the targets,the paper studied the spatial distribution of resident population or economy in Shandong Province by comparing with other populations or economically large provinces.And it researched the evolution of those during 2000-2015 from the aspects of growth rate,density,geographical concentration.Comparing the distribution of population and economy,it made the basic judgment on the spatial matching relationship between population and economy.Then the space mismatch index(SMI)of population and economy was constructed to analyze the regional situation and time trend of the spatial distribution of population and economy in Shandong.It was discussed the factors of the relationship of spatial distribution of population and economy in Shandong,and put forward suggestions to improve the relationship of spatial distribution between population and economy.Based on the above studies,the following conclusions were obtained.The permanent residents of Shandong Province was less balanced than that of Guangdong,Henan and Sichuan Provinces.The population with rapid population growth was mainly distributed along the axis of Jiaoji,such as Qingdao and Jinan cities.The population distribution pattern which the southwest was denser than the northeast was still unchanged,and the population mainly gathered to Jinan,Zaozhuang,Qingdao and Zibo cities.The regional relative degree of economic differences in Shandong Province was relatively smaller than those in,Guangdong,Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces,but the regional difference in per capita economic development level was more obvious.The regional economic growth rate had generally slowed down since 2000,and the pattern of the regional economic of Shandong had no change.The economy was located alongthe Jiaoji-Qingrong and the eastern coastal areas,and the regional economy didn't occur by leaps and bounds.So,the relationship of spatial distribution of population and economic in Shandong Province didn't match with each other.According to the size of Spatial Mismatch Index,17 cities were divided into economically advancing areas,relatively matching area and economically lagging areas.The scope of economically advancing areas were unchanged,scattered in some parts of the peninsula hilly area,the Yellow River Delta and center of Shandong Province.The scope of economically lagging areas were reduced,mainly scattered in parts of the northwest and south of Shandong Province.There were some areas to upgrade to a relatively matching area from a economically lagging area,such as Binzhou,Jining and Tai'an cities.And relatively matching areas were mixed between the first two regions.From the time series point of view,both the various types of areas or Shandong Province,the resident population and economic space didn't match the degree of reduction.The spatial mismatch of population and economy in Shandong Province was affected by many factors.There were natural and historical factors,population mobility system barriers,urbanization level,industrial structure,market mechanism,regional development strategies and government supports.Therefore,in order to promote the matched distribution of population and economy in Shandong Province,the following strategies could be considered: breaking the barriers of population flow and promoting the rational flow of the population,promoting the process of new urbanization and implementing urban service works,perfecting the market mechanism and effectively allocating regional factors of production,rationalizing industrial gradient transfermation and optimizing industrial structure and layout,and giving full play to the role of governments and implement of regional bias policies moderately.
