Measurement and Characterization of Spatial Network Linkages of Qianzhong Urban Agglomeration from the Perspective of"Strong Provincial Capitals"
Enhancing the spatial network linkages of Qianzhong urban agglomeration is crucial to anchoring Guizhou's"strong provincial capital"strategic resolve and action ability,and radiating and leading the high-quality development of urban and rural areas in the province.Based on the urban and rural statistical data of Qianzhong urban agglomeration in 2020 and 2021,the characteristics of its spatial network linkages are measured and analyzed through the modified Spatial Gravity Model and Social Network Analysis.The results show that the quality of urban development in the Qianzhong urban agglomeration shows an obvious five-level gradient difference;the gravitational effect of the spatial network driven by the"double cores of Guiyang and Zunyi is becoming more and more prominent;the overall spatial network linkage is characterized by the feature of"center-node";and breaking through the barriers of administrative divisions and interconnecting and sharing the regional infrastructures are the basic conditions for the enhancement of spatial network linkage of the urban agglomerations.
