基于浙中城市群空间要素体系——节点、通道、流和基质的构建与识别,通过政府部门调查和典型企业的访谈、问卷调查,获取浙中城市群空间各要素相关信息,系统定量分析浙中城市群空间结构特征,探索城市群研究的方法并加以实证。研究表明,浙中城市群表现出以义乌、金华为中心,多轴线、网络化的空间发展特征,为进一步的微观定量研究和城市群优化政策的制定提供参考依据。

On the background of global integration, urban agglomeration is becoming a main direction of global spatial reconstruction and the basic unit of competition between regions and countries. Based on systematical summary of structural research on domestic and aboard urban agglomeration, this article analyzed the characteristics of four categories of structural elements (including node, channel, flow and matrix) from the perspective of spatial elements system of agglomeration. The information about the spatial elements in central Zhejiang urban agglomeration was acquired through wide-spread interviews and questionnaires of government departments and typical corporates. The article also quantitatively analyzed the characteristics of spatial structure in central Zhejiang urban agglomeration, and explored the empirical methods about the researches on urban agglomeration. The result showed that the central Zhejiang urban agglomeration’s structure appears to be networking and multi-central, which includes Yiwu and Jinhua. The core area presents a strong networking showing a certain degree of homogeneity and continuity in economic, demographic and geographic landscape. Such researches would provide foundation for further quantitative assessment and strategic decision.
