Exploring Inner Interaction of Urban Agglomeration from the Perspective of Urban Symbiosis and Ethnic Difference
Studying the characteristics and patterns of urban linkages within urban agglomerations is fundamental to understanding their evolution and achieving integrated,coordinated development.Using spatial interaction theory and symbiosis theory,this article conceptualizes urban agglomerations as organically coexisting multi-town systems.It analyzes the vitality,external functional capacity,and interaction interference among towns,measures multidirectional linkage characteristics,and identifies symbiotic linkage patterns.Focusing on the regional specificity and ethnic characteristics of the Central Yunnan urban agglomeration in Southwest China,the case study reveals the following findings:the overall urban vitality within the agglomeration is insufficient,and the distribution of external functional capacity exhibits a high-value clustering pattern around the geographical center.The degree of urban linkages is relatively weak,predominantly following a point symbiosis pattern characterized by incidental connections,with urban development largely driven by self-organizing processes.In ethnic minority autonomous regions,urban linkage foundations and strengths are weaker than those of conventional towns,highlighting the urgent need to optimize symbiotic linkages between these areas and conventional towns to advance the integrated development of the urban agglomeration.
