Abstract

The regional coordinated development is an inevitable requirement for China to maintain high-quality and sustainable development and build a prosperous,strong,democratic,culturally advanced,harmonious and beautiful socialist modernization power. It is also an important direction of China's regional economy development in the new era. Based on this,the paper uses China's provincial population and GDP data from 1978 to 2018 to study the evolution trend of population and economy gravity centers,and their influence mechanism in four regions. The results show that: 1) There are significant differences in population and economy gravity centers among the four regions. On the whole,the population gravity centers moved to the southwest of the eastern region,the northeast of the central region,the northwest of the western region and the southwest of the northeastern region. The economy gravity centers moved to the southwest of the eastern region,the movement direction continued to change in the central region,and moved back and forth to the southwest and northeast of the western and northeastern regions. 2) The influence coefficients of socio-economic factors on population density in different regions were relatively small,while the influences of industrialization level and traffic convenience on population density were relatively large. 3) The industrialization level and market prosperity had the relatively large influence coefficients on economy growth in different regions,while urbanization and transportation convenience had the relatively small influences on economy growth. The economy growth should follow the periodic law of multi-factor cumulative effect.
