Abstract:

This paper, by means of Theil index method and factor analysis, applies single index and synthetic indexes to analyze the evolution and characters of urbanization level difference (ULD) among cities in Shandong province, and concludes that the ULD among cities in Shandong province diminishes and so do the ULD in east, middle and west Shandong, but the regional ULD expands. The ULD displays in general an internal difference in middle Shandong. The Comprehensive ULD is reflected in three aspects, modernization level, building density and environmental quality, and exists an east-west gradient difference regionally.

Key words:

摘要：

本文运用单一指标和复合指标两种测评方法，结合锡尔指数和因子分析法，对山东省地级市城市化水平差异的演变轨迹和现状特征进行了测评和分析，结果发现：2000年以来山东省地级市人口城市化水平总差异不断缩小，鲁东、鲁中与鲁西3大地区之间的差异也不断减小，但对区域总差异的贡献呈不断扩大趋势，且人口城市化水平的差异主要表现为鲁中地区内部的差异。山东省地级市城市化水平综合差异主要表现在城市现代化水平、建成区密度和环境质量3个方面，在空间上主要表现为东西梯度差异。
