Regional industrial transfer in the Jingjinji urban agglomeration, China: An analysis based on a new 'transferring area-undertaking area-dynamic process' model

摘要

A new concept model of "transferring area-undertaking area-dynamic process" is proposed to promote coordinated industrial development and the optimal utilization of regional resources. This model includes three parts: the identification of the industrial transfer trend in the transferring area through a competitive advantage analysis, a comprehensive evaluation of the undertaking ability in the undertaking area, and the detection of the spatial dynamics of industries to measure the implementation of regional industrial transfer and the matching situation between the acceptance ability of the undertaking area and transferred industries. Taking the Jingjinji urban agglomeration in China as a case study, the analysis reveals that in Beijing, industrial transfer was an inevitable tendency because most traditional industries lacked competitiveness. The comprehensive ability and single factor advantage of undertaking industrial transfer differed regionally in Tianjin-Hebei; generally, the undertaking ability of the central-south plains was higher than that of the northwest mountains area. From the perspective of industrial land supply, the land for each industrial sector had shrunk in Beijing, while the expansion was concentrated in plain areas in Tianjin-Hebei with a pattern of "big agglomeration-small dispersion", thereby implying that the industries in the transferring area were apparently transferred to the undertaking area. However, some core areas of the south central plain with significant comprehensive and single undertaking ability did not provide corresponding land, which indicated that there was a mismatch between the acceptance ability in the undertaking area and the transferred industries to some extent, and the industrial land supply generated a disordered industrial spatial structure. This research further recommends that a new mechanism of "market regulation-government promotion-enterprise domination-other connection" should be introduced to ensure the operation of the industry transfer with planning, quality, and differences to realize the mutual supplement with each area's advantages and the optimal allocation and utilization of regional resources.
