Abstract

With the construction and development of the Silk Road Economic Belt, it is of great significance to analyze the land urbanization level of cities along the route. This paper established a new evaluation system, consisting of 11 indexes from 6 aspects, to measure the land urbanization level of 71 core cities in the Silk Road Economic Belt in 2014.The Principal component analysis (PCA) method was used to determine weight of indexes and get calculation results. In the course of these studies, it is visually apparent that spatial differentiation phenomena and unbalanced development exist both in provincial scale and urban scale. To promote sustainable development of Silk Road Economic Belt, enhancing the top design, improving the evaluation system, strengthening the cooperation and handling the relationship between exploitation and protection of resources are considered effective methods.
