| 摘 要： | 1 Introduction For the two past decades of economic reforms in China, the urbanization level has risen dramatically from 17.92% in 1978 to 41.8% in 2004, with the average an- nual increase in the urbanized population of 3.3%. Owing to the social and economic factors, however, the agri- culture, rural area and farmer, named “three agricul- ture-related problems” in the country, have benefited little from the rapid and unprecedented process of ur- banization (Lin and Ho, 2003). Conversely, as…

| Abstract: | Regional core cities are the growth poles for regional economic development, thus the issue about efficient urbanization pattern
has always become a hot spot among researchers and policy makers. The Spatial Economy can be employed to improve it. Nevertheless,
there actually exists an obvious gap between its theoretical models and the empirical simulation. To do so, this paper modifies
the measurement of initial geographical advantages Stelder gave, and implements the empirical analyses of urban distribution
in Zhejiang during the period of 1980–1990 by means of computer simulations in GIS environment. There are several interesting
results achieved in this process. Firstly, given the values of parameters (transport cost is τ, substitution elasticity of manufacturing sector ρ, and income share of spending on manufacture δ), initial geographical advantages have the different impacts on urban systems, namely, urban locations, numbers and sizes
over time across space. Secondly, the cities were distributed without any overlay in geographical space, which makes the patterns
of urbanization generate the largest possible economic efficiencies. Thirdly, the urban systems—the location, number and size
of cities—from the simulation of the study area are suitable for the actual social and economic situations in the real world
during the testing periods. Such results may have substantial implications for the policy how to choose the way of urbanization
in a region.
