Study on compression level and ideal impetus of regional urbanization:The case of Jiangsu Province

Through the analysis of related literatures at home and abroad about the measurement of urbanization level and its dynamic changes,we found that China's urbanization has entered a rapid development stage and the motive forces for the development of urbanization have changed enormously.Therefore,the scientific measurement of urbanization development level and quantitative comparative analysis of its ideal powers will be particularly important to promote the level and quantity of regional urbanization.Based on the urbanized connotation,the paper constructs the appraisal index system of the synthesis level of the regional urbanization embarking population urbanization,economic urbanization,life-style urbanization and regional landscape urbanization.With the method of entropy,the generalized analyses to the evolution of the urbanization level of Jiangsu Province from 1991 to 2005 are carried out.The result shows that the urbanization of Jiangsu Province has been enhanced continuously.At the same time,the urbanization mainly represents the fast development of the economic urbanization and the regional landscape urbanization.But the population urbanization is becoming weak to the overall contribution of the regional urbanization and lagging behind other urbanizations.Economic urbanization,life-style urbanization and regional landscape urbanization have improved constantly.Meanwhile,they are turning harmonious gradually.On this basis,the multiple linear regression models are linked to the comparative analysis of the main urbanized impetus of Jiangsu Province from 1991 to 2005.Then the result is that the market forces,the intrinsic forces,the exterior forces and the administrative forces are the main powers of the urbanization development of Jiangsu Province.And the market forces and administrative forces are the ideal powers that promote the urbanization and the economic development of Jiangsu Province.
