The Spatial Effect of Administrative Division on Land-Use Intensity

Land-use intensity (LUI) is one of the most direct manifestations regional land use efficiency. The study cross-administrative LUI in urban agglomerations great importance for sustainable development land, new urbanization, and territorial spatial planning. In this study, agglomeration middle reaches Yangtze River China was used as case area to explore spillover effect through administrative division, underlying driving mechanism, interactions or constraints LUI. First, measured using index proportion construction total region. Second, adjacency relationship county-level units identified on basis queen-type criterion under division system. Thereafter, weight matrix modeling constructed. Last, a model “Spatial matrix” devised examine influencing factors potential units. Results revealed that level different were quite different, gap among widened from 2010 2017. fixed asset investment per (FAIL), gross domestic product capital (PGDP), tertiary sector (PTS) are County-level not only had significant increasing interaction based cooperation, but also an influence restraint mutually which caused by competition. remarkable. future, should be considered promote reasonable optimal layout realize allocation resources.
