中文摘要：

从城市功能定位的角度,对城市功能、区域和定位三个概念的内涵进行深刻剖析,认为城市功能具有复合性、等级性、动态性、内部复杂性和空间具体性等特征;区域与城市腹地范围有所区别,不仅仅是一个空间范围,而是具有丰富的内涵。在城市功能定位过程中,要注意现状区域与定位区域两个时间层面定位。城市功能定位是在对城市自身优劣势、区位条件、外部环境等深入分析的基础上,通过确定城市在区域当中的区位,使城市在区域中占据一个独特的位置,获得更大城市竞争力的过程。在此基础上,从城市功能定位与职能分类的区别,城市规模与城市功能定位的关系和选取定位方法应注意的问题等方面进行论述,深刻理解城市功能定位的基本内涵。最后提出城市功能定位的基本原则,设计城市功能定位的技术路线,以供城市功能定位工作参考。

英文摘要：

From the perspective of city function orientation, this paper analyzes the concepts of city function, region and orientation. It argues that city functions have the features of complexity, hierarchy, dynamics, inner complication, and can be materially embodied. The region differs from the city hinterland, which is not only a spatial concept but also has pro- found meanings. In orienting the city functions, attentions should be paid to the difference of current region and oriented region. The process of orientation is to occupy a special position in the region to gain stronger competitiveness based on the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages, location, and external environments of the city. Then it states the difference of city function orientation and function classification, the relationship of city scale and function orientation, and the orientation methods as well. At last, it presents the basic principles and technical routes of the city function orientation.
