Reconstruction of industrial location in view of industrial agglomeration

Abstract

The Industrial Agglomeration Theory has been evolving all the time. The study on the industrial location has become the focus of the massive theoretical location problems about agglomeration since the 1970s. The authors here analyze the evolution and the characteristics of the Industrial Agglomeration Theory and study its effect on the reconstruction of industrial location. The study suggests that the new idea of reconstruction of industrial location is to cultivate regional innovative system. On this basis, the authors analyze two cases of old industrial bases on their construction-Tiexi Industrial District in Shenyang City and Changchun Industrial Economic Development Zone. Finally, the authors put forward some suggestions that should be regarded, which include: 1) to combine industrial location reconstruction and enterprises' inner reform; 2) to speed up adjustment of resources and opening to the world; 3) to combine government mechanism with the market mechanism properly.

Spatial-temporal pattern evolution of manufacturing geographical agglomeration and influencing factors of old industrial base: A case of Jilin Province, China

“…In recent years, scholars have done many empirical researches in terms of manufacturing agglomeration patterns, location evolution, and the influence mechanism, including the research of the relationship between industrial structure, enterprise development and urban spatial expansion (Yang et al, 2004;Fan et al, 2009;Liu and Li, 2009;Qi et al, 2010); the analysis of different types of spatial pattern and the manufacturing location change from the view of capital, scale and element density (Meng and Shi, 2003;Wen, 2004;Zhang and He, 2007;Wu and Ning, 2010); the research of the relationship between manufacturing development and urban space reconstruction in micro view (Lu and Chen, 2009;Rijkers et al, 2010;Yuan et al, 2012a), the manufacturing agglomeration effects on production (Zhu and Ding, 2006;Zhang et al, 2012) or provincial scale manufacturing location evolutions (Qiu et al, 2013); and the discussion about the influence mechanism of industrial location change (Qi et al, 2006;Ng and Tuan, 2006;Chu and Liang, 2007;Ge, 2008). Due to the limited data access, there is less study on provincial manufacturing agglomeration features (Pan et al, 2011), but it is more significant to carry out the provincial level research considering administration and regional coordination.…”

To identify Zanjan food and beverage clusters

“…Once this approach to cluster development is faced with the demand in a wide range of sectors, it is necessary to spread an intervention mechanism for preparing a flexible custom program development with good practice. Also, Zhu and Ding [9] suggested the new idea of reconstruction of industrial location as to cultivate regional innovative system.…”
