Abstract

In order to study the spatial pattern of the urbanization level and economic development and their relationships in Shandong peninsula urban agglomeration, principal component analysis (PCA) were used to calculate the comprehensive development level of urbanization and economic development, and GIS were used to analyze their spatial pattern. The research results showed that the urbanization and economic development levels have high correlation in Shandong peninsula urban agglomeration; the urbanization levels of all cities in Shandong peninsula urban agglomerations will continue to improve, but the urbanization speed is becoming slow. We get two enlightenments from the results: The current advance of urbanization in some areas of Shandong peninsula urban agglomeration phenomenon is worth of attention and vigilance; and the cause of the low level of urbanization is a relatively low level of economic development.
