ADMINISTRATION SYSTEN CHANGES AND POPULATION URBANIZATION IN GUANGDONG Li Ling 1997, 17 (4):  334-340.  Abstract ( )   PDF (747KB) ( )   Save The administration syStem of Guangdong has ben changed for three times since 1980's toadapt to the situation of "reform and opening" to the outside world.The changes are also on basisof the raise of urban construction level and the increase of Population because of the economic development.The guiding idea for administration system changes are to transfer more administrative power to local governments so as to mobilize their enthusiasm for economic development,andto set up core cities to bring along the development of the Peripheral regions.There are some problems in the process of administration system changes,for example,thestandards for setting new city and town administration are not controlled strictly,some cities haveplanned too large urban areas and some have worked out unrealistic overall urban planning.Those problems result in the inflated statistics of urban Population and affect adversely the rational use of the regional land resources.The transfer of the administration of county into that of city would be continued.In next ponod some some towns may be also changed into city administration.The author considers that theurban area of a city must be reasonably determined.In developed areas the hierarchy of administration should be simplified.

ON SPATIAL DEVELOPING RULE OF URBAN LAND PRICE AND ITS DRIVING FACTORS Wang Mao-chun 1997, 17 (4):  347-353.  Abstract ( )   PDF (394KB) ( )   Save An urban land price is a reflection of the land's synthetical location.Although urban lands'prices show not continuous,they remain to be considered continuous because the areas of massifsare much less than that of an urban district-they just form the surface of urban land price.A gentle section on the surface (its gradient angle a≤ 15°)is Called land price terrace.A steep sectionon the surface (its gradient angle a≥30° is called land price slep.land price terrace can be divided into two types: concave and convex.They would becomelarger or smaller as time goes on.And land price steep would always be translated towards lowerland price area.Consequently,the middle and the lower perts of a land price sleep normally increase more quickly.Although increasing in land price is mainly driven by land profits and urbanplanning,it finally reflects the situation of the funds put into urban constructions and the time ofresponse to the situation in land price.The edges of central urban district and the jointS between urban and suburban ares are considered as those where their lands' prices increase the most rapidlyin the city.The land price of other sections of the city could be judged according to local concreteconditions.
