Study On The Measurement Of Coordinated Development Of New Urbanization In Zhejiang

Ever since China's Reform and Opening Polices was carried into execution 40 years ago,as the process of industrialization and urbanization continued to accelerate,the urban space has expanded rapidly.At the end of 2017,the urbanization rate of China's was 58.52%,surpassing the world average level.In the future,the urbanization will still be the highlight of China's development.However,during the process of urbanization,many problems such as the urban-rural dual structure,the rural hollow village problem as well as the urban diseases have present themselves,which are urgently needed to be resolved.Obviously,extensive urbanization can no longer meet the requirements of sustainable development.For this reason,the 18 th CPC National Congress proposed a concept namely “new urbanization”,which means the coordinated and mutually promoted development pattern of cities of all sizes,towns,and new rural communities,with the addition of industry,population,land,society,and rural areas,five-in-one urbanization.In 2006,Zhejiang province took the lead in the whole country to take a new road to urbanization.over the past decade,Zhejiang Province has continued to strengthen planning and guidance,adhere to reform and innovation,effectively promoting the process of new urbanization.So far Zhejiang Province has become one of the provinces with fastest urbanization and smallest gap between urban and rural development in China,in the meanwhile accumulating much useful experience for other provinces.Therefore,in this paper,Zhejiang Province and its 11 cities are selected as the research objects.This paper evaluates the level of coordinated development of urbanization in Zhejiang Province and analyzes its differences from the dual dimensions of time and space,then sums up experiences that can be used for reference and make further suggestions,which is of great significance to promote the coordinated development of new urbanization in Zhejiang Province as well as other provinces and cities.For this purpose,based on the analysis of the origin and connotation of urbanization,the comparison between new urbanization and traditional urbanization,the construction of new urbanization index system,and the development of new urbanization in Zhejiang Province,this paper defines the concepts of new urbanization,coordinated development and spatial-temporal differences,then constructs a coordinated evaluation index of new urbanization in Zhejiang Province,including four basic subsystems namely economic foundation,quality of life,social equity and ecological conservation.Besides,this paper uses improved entropy method to give weights for the indicators.Next,empirical analysis of new urbanization in Zhejiang Province is conducted in provincial and municipal two sections.First,through the ayalysis of statistical data of Zhejiang Province from 2006 to 2016,the measurement of indicators and coordinated development level are evaluated in temporal demensions.Second,through the ayalysis of statistical data of 11 cities in Zhejiang Province in three time sections,the measurement of indicators and coordinated development level are evaluated with cluster analysis method and hierarchical color analysis method in spatial demensions.Furthermore,policies that are worth spreading are proposed.The analysis results show that,in more than ten years,Zhejiang Province has entered a stable rising period from the rapid development period and the platform's storage period.Currently it has been in a well-coordinated period and the overall coordination level is relatively high,but the social equity subsystem turns out relatively backward.Among 11 cities,Hangzhou is the most outstanding city,and southwestern Zhejiang was behind once but it has developed rapidly in recent years.The overall coordination development level presents an overall upgrade pattern from Hangzhou to Ningbo,Zhoushan and other cities in northeastern Zhejiang,and further extends to the surrounding cities of Taizhou,Jinhua and Wenzhou in Southwest Zhejiang.From pyramid pattern of Hangzhou and Ningbo leading,the obvious difference and low overall level in 2006 into the olive pattern of double-core driven and the rise of the middle class in 2011,and then it turns to the diamond pattern of East-west linkage and balanced overall level in 2016.Finally,based on the empirical analysis conclusions,relevant recommendations for policymakers are proposed to promote the development of new urbanization in Zhejiang Province.
