Analysis on Spatial Differentiation of Economy in Fen River Valley Based on GIS
With counties of Fen River valley as the study area,selecting GDP per capita during 1994-2013,based on GIS spatial analysis meth-od,economic spatial differentiation in recent 20 years were analyzed from perspectives of absolute difference,relative difference,spatial differentia-tion characteristics.The results showed that:the phenomenon of polarization is obvious in economic development of counties in Fen River valley;as the core of the region,the radiation and driving function of Taiyuan to neighboring county has been weakened gradually;the speed of economic development in middle part of Fen River valley is faster,depend on its endowment of resources and specific geographic position,the economic growth is apparent and become the new high value accumulation area;the south part of Fen River valley is short of core city,as the most popula-tion concentrated city in this area,the economic growth of Linfen is relatively slow,and lack the radiation and driving function to neighboring are-a,and can not play the role of core city in this area.
