Taking Gansu Province as an study area, the article employs the technical processes and assessment to calculate the road network density based on the analysis of the social and economic development of Gansu Province using GIS technology. And the relationship of the network density with population and GDP is analyzed, it is found that there exists a stable mathematical relation and a statistics law among them. The study has the following results. 1) The density of road network in Gansu Province is outward decay along the center of Lanzhou and Jiayuguan. The distribution of network density is higher in the southeast than northwest of Gansu, and also more uniform in the southeast than northwest Gansu.2) Road network density and population density, GDP and other socio-economic factors are highly relevant, and it is obviously influenced by the level of economic development and policy construction.3) About 5.75% of county or district are in the super dependence or super favoritism situation, about 20.68% of county or district are in the strong dependence or strong favoritism situation, and 62.7% county or district are in the common dependence or common favoritism situation. Comparatively, about 8.05% of county or district are in the less dependent or weak favoritism, and 3.45% of county or district are in the weak dependent or weak favoritism situation. The dependence-favoritism index in Hexi Corridor region is higher than the eastern and south mountainous area in Gansu. This study can afford a fundamental theory for the harmony development of Gansu road network, population and economy.
