Spatial Characteristics of Population Distribution and Its Evolution Tendency in Shanxi Province

Using the index of spatial autocorrelation,population structure,population center of gravity,and other research methods,and some theory guilds taking out 97 administrative region in province as the research unit,and using 1990-2000 as the research range,selecting population and population density as the research object,the characteristics of population spatial distribution in province and its space-time evolution trend were described,and then got the following conclusions: The population spatial distribution in was the pattern ofmiddle high-north and south low characteristics. In Shanxi Province population density spatial distribution was spatial correlation,the population agglomeration was stronger,and integration trend was slightly weakened over time. The imbalance of the spatial distribution of population was more obvious and it had a rising trend. The center gravity of population moved to northeast,whose movement speed was accelerated.
