中文摘要：

清代是中国城镇迅猛发展和巨大变革的时期,奠定当今城市格局的基础。利用GIS软件和地统计方法对清代内蒙城镇发展做量化研究。结果表明：该地区城镇空间分布由长城关外察哈尔地区向东西两侧扩散,与内蒙五路驿传具有一定空间关联;城镇增长在时间上可识别四个阶段,增长初期（1723-1735）、加速期（1736-1820）、停滞期（1821-1874）和高速期（1874-1911）,东部在内蒙与河北、辽宁、吉林三省交界处呈带状和点状集群特征,西部于土默特形成高密度核心。

Qing dynasty was the period when the town in China developed rapidly,which laid the foundation of today＇s urban landscape. Based on the research of historic cities,this article aims to rebuild the temporal- spatial distribution and development of urban settlements in Inner Mongolia region by using GIS. It was revealed that towns diffused east and west respectively from Chahar,related with the ＂ Inner Mongolia Yilu route＂. Urban growth experienced four periods including early phrase,accelerated phrase,stagnated phrase and speed phrase.The eastern town constantly extended northward with the evolution of the urban system,while the western towns clustered in the Tumochuan plains.
