Abstract
In order to analyze the difference of the level of new-type and traditional urbanization of Shandong province, 20 indexes were selected involving economic, society and environment, etc, and principal component analysis was applied to calculate the score of the new-type urbanization levels of the 108 cities in Shandong in 2008 and 2013, and GIS was applied to analyze the spatial distribution of the levels. The results show that the cities whose new-type urbanization level is higher than that of traditional urbanization are located at the east of Shandong peninsula urban agglomeration, and the cities whose new-type urbanization level is lower than that of traditional urbanization are located at the north-west and south-west of the province in both 2008 and 2012.
