Research On The Spatial Pattern Of Population And Economy In Urumqi City

Urumqi occupies an extremely important position in the pattern of urban system in China.It is the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt and also an important economic center in western China.Through the study of urban spatial evolution,the relationship between population and economic spatial pattern and urban spatial expansion in Urumqi can be clarified.The existing urban and rural planning system can be transformed into human-oriented planning concept.The study of the relationship between population and economic spatial can provide guidance for urban spatial planning in Urumqi.Based on the understanding of the theory of regional unbalanced development,the theory of regional division of labor and the theory of sustainable development,this paper takes the urban space of the main urban area of Urumqi as the research object,reviews the relevant research at home and abroad,and makes use of the statistical yearbook of Urumqi over the years and the census data of street population,with the help of literature analysis,comparative analysis,GIS spatial analysis and other methods.This paper systematically studies the historical evolution of urban space and the spatial expansion of built-up areas in Urumqi.Then it studies the spatial pattern of population and economy in different regions,explores the relationship between population and economic spatial pattern,and analyses the impact of population spatial pattern on regional economic disparities.From the aspects of natural environment,historical background,economic development and policy regulation,comprehensively analyses the formation mechanism of population and economic spatial pattern.It puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to improve the spatial pattern difference of population and economy in Urumqi.The sustainable development of population and economy in Urumqi has laid a good foundation.The main conclusions of the thesis are as follows.(1)Influenced by topography,landform,resources and environment,Urumqi extends along the Urumqi River to the North alluvial plain,and the population and economic spatial pattern of Urumqi gradually manifests itself in the urban spatial expansion,forming the existing spatial pattern of Urumqi.(2)In the study of the evolution of population spatial distribution,the concentration degree of population in Urumqi increased slightly from 2000 to 2010,and the population gathered appropriately to the city.From 2010 to 2016,the spatial distribution of population became more and more balanced.The gap between regions was narrowing,but the distribution of populationin different regions was quite different.The population density of Xinshi District was more than four times that of Tou Tunhe District.In the study of the evolution of economic spatial distribution,the coefficients of economic variability and the index of Urumqi decreased from 2000 to 2010,the regional economic distribution of Urumqi became more and more balanced,the coefficients of variation increased from 2010 to 2016,the degree of regional economic relative difference increased,and people’s living standards still need to be further improved;the distribution of the economy in different regions is quite different,and the new urban area has experienced economic growth.The economic density of Xinshi District is more than four times of Shayibak District.(3)Research on the present situation of population spatial structure,in 2016,the phenomenon of school-age population and elderly population gathering is more obvious,but the phenomenon of labor population gathering is not significant,the spatial structure of population education shows that the highly educated population occupies the dominant commercial core space of the city,the low-educated and non-educated population occupies the marginal space of the city,and the middle-educated population occupies the transitional space between the two,Uighur and Kazakhs mainly live in the southeast of Tianshan District and Shui Mogou District,and Hui mainly live in Tou Tunhe District area bordering Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture,which is scattered in other areas.(4)From 2000 to 2016,the population agglomeration and economic agglomeration in Urumqi have a high degree of inconsistency.The population agglomeration is higher than economic agglomeration,but the gap between population and economic coherence in Urumqi is narrowing compared with 2000.(5)In the aspect of population structure factors,the population quantity,old-age dependency ratio and urbanization rate of Urumqi inhibit the expansion of regional economic disparities to a certain extent,while ethnic ratio and child dependency ratio can promote regional economic disparities,in the aspect of non-population structure factors,the greater the degree of industry deviating from regional comparative advantage and income uncertainty,the greater the regional economic disparities,and the increase of per capita human capital investment and residents’ well-being can be translated into the economic growth of the region,so as to improve the growth rate of regional economy more effectively.
