Study on the evolution of urban spatial response in modern service industry——A case study of 5 central cities in western China
The study of urban spatial response to changes in industrial structure is an important component of new economic geogra-phy and the coordinated development of cities and industries.This paer used the industrial spatial response index and Theil index to measure and analyze the evolution of modern service industry urban spatial response in five central cities in western China,including Chongqing,Chengdu,Nanning,Kunming,and Guiyang,from 2008 to 2022.Then,this paper used a fixed effects model to empirically test the influencing factors of modern service industry urban spatial response in the five central cities.The results showed that:①The spatial response of modern service industry in the five central cities showed an increasing trend,but the intensity and changing trend of spatial response in each city were different.There were differences in the driving force of the modern service industry among the five central cit-ies.②The Theil index of the five central cities showed a cross running trend of rising and falling,indicating that the transformation of the modern service industry structure in central cities and the changes in urban spatial form were a fluctuating adaptation,but the overall trend was becoming increasingly compatible.③Investment intensity,outward economic level,innovation level,economic development level,and government macro management policies all had a positive effect on the response of cities to the transformation of modern serv-ice industry structure.At last,the implementation of measures such as clarifying the development goals and directions of modern service industry,optimizing urban spatial layout,strengthening infrastructure construction,promoting coordinated agglomeration of population and industry,strengthening ecological environment protection,and improving policy guarantee system could promote the coordinated de-velopment of modern service industry and urban spatial optimization.
