Analysis of the influence of the"pole-axis system"theory and the"T-shaped"spatial structure
In 1984,Professor Lu Dadao first proposed the"pole-axis system"theory and the"T-shaped"spatial structure of China's territorial development and economic layout at the National Economic Geography and Land Planning Symposium.As a model of regional"optimal structure and optimal development",the theory has become one of the milestone research results in the development of human and economic geography in China after continuous improvement and deepening.By reviewing the development process of the"pole-axis system"theory and the"T-shaped"spatial structure,this paper reviews the quantitative characteristics,institutional distribution,published journals,research topics,and hot topic evolution of relevant research literature,and clarifies the characteristics and trends of research in relevant fields in the past 40 years.The findings are as follows:(1)The theory of"pole-axis system"and the"T-shaped"spatial structure have been receiving continuous attention from the academic community,with the number of studies showing a significant correlation with the release of national policies.(2)Key research institutions,such as the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences,Nanjing Normal University,and Central China Normal University,serve as prominent representatives in this field.These institutions collectively cover all regions of China,which may be closely tied to empirical studies of the theories in various areas.(3)The research articles have been published in multidisciplinary journals,exerting a notable influence primarily in the fields of geography and economics.(4)The research themes,research areas and methods of the"pole-axis system"theory have been continuously expanded and enriched in the three stages of development.Then,based on policy analysis and representative evaluation,the research expounds the extensive application and profound influence of the"pole-axis system"theory and the"T-shaped"spatial structure in the fields of territorial spatial planning,regional development strategy and multi-scale regional planning.Furthermore,this paper probes into its application value in the fields of territorial spatial planning with multiple-plan coordination,regional coordinated development,new urbanization and urban-rural integrated development,as well as allocation of new quality productive forces and other major productive forces in the new era.
