中文摘要：

加快服务业发展对于提升城市与区域在全国乃至全球经济体系中的地位具有重要作用.运用熵值法、聚类分析、相关性分析对2003,2013 年35 个区域中心城市服务业发展水平进行了综合评价;采用主成分回归分析方法探讨了区域中心城市服务业发展的主要影响因素.结果表明：① 区域中心城市服务业综合发展水平差距明显,可分为高水平、中等水平和一般水平3 种类型.② 区域中心城市服务业发展呈现明显的空间分异格局,沿海、沿江及港口城市服务业发展水平较高,东部地区与东北地区明显高于中西部地区.③ 区域中心城市服务业发展水平与城市规模等级正相关.④ 城市化水平、政府支持力度、经济发展水平对区域中心城市服务业发展影响最为显著.

英文摘要：

The study has made a comprehensive evaluation to the development of service sectors in 35 regional central cities in the year of 2003 and 2013 through entropy evaluation method, cluster analysis and correlation anal-ysis. The paper has also explored major factors that influence the development of service sectors in regional central cities through regression analysis and key part analysis. Firstly, there is an unbalanced development among service sectors in different regional central cities. Based on development of service sectors, they are divided into high, me-dium and average levels. Secondly, such service sectors have made a rapid development in coastal cities, port cities and cities along the river. It also can be seen that east and northeast areas have made a higher development than middle and western areas. Thirdly, there is a positive correlation between the development of service sectors in re-gional central cities and city scale. Finally, such factors as urbanization, government support and economic devel-opment have made significant impact on the development of service sectors in regional central cities.
