采用市辖区统计数据、GIS空间分级方法以及重心移动模型,对1985—2010年中国城市人口、经济与用地的空间格局及重心演变轨迹进行了分析,结果表明:与中国的区域发展战略及城市发展方针相适应,2000年之前中国总体形成了东部沿海地区及特大城市周边地区集群式布局与东中西非均衡发展的城市空间格局,2000年之后中国东中西部城市集群的现象更加明显,但全国层面逐渐形成了较高水平的相对均衡发展空间格局;中国城市人口、经济与用地规模的重心历年均位于苏鲁豫皖交界附近,“由北向南”移动的特征最为明显,东西向的移动距离较小且移动方向不尽一致,不仅反映了区域与城市发展政策对中国城市空间格局的影响,也反映了东中西部地区城市发展的空间效率。
Based on statistical data of municipal districts, spatial classification method by GIS and gravity center movement model, the spatial patterns of China's urban population, urban economy and urban construction land in 1985 -2010 were analyzed. The evolution tracks of their gravity centers were described. Results show that: ( 1 ) Due to the varation of regional development strategies and urban development guidelines in 1985 -2000, China's cities were mainly concentrated in eastern coastal areas and around megacities, and unevenly distributed among eastern, central and western areas. After 2000, urban agglomerations in eastern, central and western areas of China grew fast. However, the spatial pattern of China's cities became balanced relatively. (2) The gravity centers of China's urban population, urban economy and urban construction land in 1985 -2010 were all located in the junction of Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Anhui Province. They moved from north to south obviously. However, the distance moved between east and west is small and the direction is fluetuant, it reflected not only the impacts of regional and urban development policies on the spatial patterns of China's cities, but also the spatial efficiency of urban development among eastern, central and western areas in China.
