| Abstract: | The industrial transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing cities is of great significance to regional high-quality development. Based on 3885 POI data of high-tech industries in Foshan City, the spatial pattern and influencing factors were analyzed by Kernel Density Estimation, spatial autocorrelation coefficient, multiple linear regression. The results showed that: (1) From 2010 to 2017, the high-tech industries in Foshan City presented the spatial pattern of "main-core area" + "sub-core area" + "surrounding dispersion", and the aggregation areas at all levels contracted to varying degrees, showing the characteristics of high viscosity and strong aggregation degree. (2) The high-tech industries in Foshan City were in the stage of continuous gathering, but there were spatial differences in the high-tech enterprises gathering between towns (streets). The gathering level of Nanhai District and Shunde District was higher than the overall level of Foshan City and keep growing, and they had formed their own core H-H clusters. (3) In terms of influencing factors: policy support had the highest relevance, industrial agglomeration was the foundation, location environment had low relevance, universities and talent resources cannot be ignored. © 2023 Editorial Department of World Regional Studies |
