中文摘要：

改革开放以来，我国大都市服务业发展迅速，并逐步成为主导产业，服务业在城市聚集、扩散导致的区位演变及空间格局引起我国学者的关注。以广州为例，在采用服务业四分法基础上，运用1990、2000年人口普查数据及1996、2001年基本单位普查数据，分析了1990年以来广州市不同类型服务业就业和基本单位的区位演变、区位特征及形成机制。研究发现，生产性服务业在老城区集聚程度下降，新中心区集聚程度上升，总体上形成“双中心”格局；分配性服务业在老城区集聚明显下降，向新中心区及外围区扩散，布局逐步均衡化，但不同部门差异明显；消费性服务业从老城区逐步向外围区扩散，中心集聚仍较高，且有随人口均衡布局特征；社会性服务业在老城区集聚减弱，在新中心和外围区集聚增强，呈团块状或局部集聚。与国外相比，广州市服务业区位特征是“多中心集聚”区位。

英文摘要：

Since the reform and opening up policy in China, the service industry becoming the leading industries in Chinese metropolitan area, research on service location arose the attention of domestic academe. The case studies on service location in metropolitan area are scarce in China. Based on the second-hand data of the 1990 and 2000 census,the 1996 and 2001 basic unit survey,using foreign service industries classification,this paper investigated the location change, characteristics and the mechanism of the different types of service in Guangzhou metropolitan area by using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. It is found that the agglomeration of producer service declined in the old-central urban district and rose in new-central district,forming ＂double- center＂location,there also exist the local-agglomeration phenomenon in central district;distributive service＇s agglomeration declined in old-central urban district and service population spread to new-central district and suburb, which appears to be regional equilibrium, but each sector has difference characteristics; consumer service were also dispersed from old-central district to suburb with the distribution of population, but the central district still has the high agglomeration degree; social service＇s agglomeration were strong declined in the old-central district and rose in new-central district and suburb ,the location of which appears to be local agglomeration. Comparing with western cities, the service location of Guangzhou is ＂multi-central agglomeration ＂
