Spatial-Temporal Dynamical Variation of Structure for the County-Level City in Blue and Yellow Economic Zones in China

Abstract

The variation of city structures play important role in many factors of city system and spatial structure of city system has been one of the most popular topics. However, the current research does not reflect the spatial-temporal variation of cities as population, area and economical factors change and the empirical data of cities in the above researches were mainly for provincial or municipal cities. Few focus on the spatial-temporal variation of county-level cities’ structure. In this paper, the spatial-temporal characteristics based on data of population, area, economical factor of county-level cities was studied and a model between the economical state and spatial indexes was presented.
