国家出台大批国家级区域发展战略和各地制定相应的区域规划,给中国的人文-经济地理学带来了极好的发展机遇,其中,思考中国的区域制度是一个重要的理论命题。阐述了现行区域规划在内容体系上的"短板",指出了"短板"的存在有中国区域制度的原因。通过"区域"的"政府"性质分析了区域规划中存在"短板"的必然性,进而讨论了中国"产权区域"制度下"区域"的"私人物品"特征、区域的竞争性和排他性,由此产生的区域与中央政府的博弈关系和区域外部性等问题。人文-经济地理学必须在区域制度方面深化对中国的区域规划、区域发展和区域关系等问题的认识。
A large number of state-level regional development strategies issued by the central government and corresponding regional planning formulated by the local governments, for Chinia' s humanity-economic geogra-phy, has brought great opportunities for development. Why economic region in China is different from any oth- er countries, why to develop in a high speed become a common problem among China' s economic regions, why China' s economic regions still did it in their own way although has been strongly condemned, if this eco- nomic regional system had something to do for China' s rapid development of economy, all the questions men- tioned above are worth thinking for humanity-economic geographers. Dozens of regional strategies issued by the central government and corresponding regional planning have been established in recent years, all these strategies and planning are used by government as a means of macroeconomic regulation and control, and also used by the scholars in the field of region and urban planning as a means of service for practice. This paper think that government establishing regional strategies and planning which don' t follow the rules of market economy are always failure in many case, meanwhile, it' s side effects are very obvious, such as extensive de- velopment, excessive expansion of urban construction land, resources excessive consumption, coordinated de-velopment among regions. The content system of current regional planning has a "short board" for the reason of region system. The economic region in China is a kind of "property region" in nature, the government is the subject and representative of the region, under these condition, "property region" to "regional government" and the central government is in "personal items" characteristics. As long as it is a "personal items", the property re-gion will inevitably be a selfish, competitive and exclusive, and conflict with the state's interests of public goods.
