英文摘要：

Urban occupational spatial structure can be viewed as the essential expression of region labor division. The occupational spatial structure of Guangzhou city is typical because it lies on the front of opening zone and, furthermore, it is one of the three largest cities in China. Based on the census data of 2000, the spatial characteristics of occupational structure in Guangzhou city was studied by taking approaches of the FACTOR ANALYSIS and CLUSTER ANALYSIS （WARD method）. The results obtained from factor analysis of 30 variables across 95 zones of nine administrative divisions in Guangzhou city show that the most important four factors are ： （1） levels of education ; （2）development of commerce and service trades ; （3）proportion of agricultural population ; （4）sex differentiation. According to the factor scores, Guangzhou city can be divided into six types of occupational areas ： Ⅰ Aggregative area of commerce and service trades, Ⅱ Aggregative area of domestic affair, Ⅲ Aggregative area of scientific research and educational undertaking, Ⅳ Industry area, Ⅴ Aggregative arca of various occupations, Ⅵ Agriculture area. The mechanism forming the spatial patterns of occupational areas mainly includes four factors ： （1） history of city development; （2）self-development of city; （3）city planning; （4）employment system and the housing system. The spatial structure of all occupational areas displays a circle pattern in which three areas, namely the tertiary industry area （ including areas 1, 2, 3 and 4） in the centre, the primary industry area （area 7） in further direction and the secondary industry area （including areas 5 and 6） between them, are distributed concentrically.
