Abstract

Based on data of the fifth population census and using an United Nations method,this paper firstly reconstruted comparable time-series data on the levels of urbanization of each province in China since the third population census.Then based on the comparable time-series data,authors made a comparative analysis of urbanization speed among Chinese provinces in recent 20 years by using linear regression and correlation analysis from the view of special distribution and time series.The result showed that the urbanization speed was getting slower and slower from the East to the West in 1980s and from the South to the North in 1990s.and we also found the characteristics of synchronization and fluctuation in the process of urbanization among Chinese provinces in recent 20 years.Finally authors gave some reasons for those characteristics.
