EVOLVEMENT OF SPATIAL PATTERN OF ECOMOMY AT COUNTY LEVEL IN FUJIAN PROVINCE

This article uses the ESDA as analysis tools,discusses the evolvement of spatial pattern of economy at county level in Fujian province since the 1990s.The results shows that:①At the overall spatial economic framework,the county economy of Fujian province shows a strong trend of spatial natural correlation.The similar areas cluster in space,but this trend dropped in 2009.The spatial pattern of hotspot fluctuated to a certain extent.②The spatial pattern of economic growth also shows a strong trend of spatial natural correlation.Although hotspot areas switching quickly,they have obvious locus,high value cluster migrates to inland with circular structures,and low value cluster migrates to coastal.③According to the space-time mechanism,the difference of economy is reduced at the whole,the random of the spatial differential pattern keeps decreasing and it tends to be more continuous and self-organized.The homogeneousness of economic development in the east-west direction is typical for its relatively small spatial difference.As to the northeast-southwest direction,the spatial difference is great.④The driving force of the spatial pattern of economy in Fujian province can be divided into two parts: historical reasons and regional economic policy.
