Spatial Agglomeration Level Measurement and Evaluation of Manufacturing in Fujian Province

This paper applies location quotation,Gini-coefficient and co-agglomeration index to measure and evaluate the spatial agglomeration level of manufacturing in Fujian Province.The conclusion shows that there has been characteristic industry agglomeration in each city in Fujian Province.The periphery cities have higher manufacturing agglomeration level than the center cities.The manufacturing agglomeration and co-agglomeration don't always maintain consistency.There are distinct spatial agglomeration levels in resource-intensive and labor-intensive industries.The agglomeration effect is more obvious than diffusion effect in petrochemical industry.This paper analyzes the formation mechanism of manufacturing agglomeration which is based on natural resource endowment,collaboration,economies of scale and government-leading.
