地区发展水平衡量指标体系设计及实例分析

选定地区发展水平衡量指标，测度区域社会，经济，文化发展水平或发育程度是一项有重要的工作，本文试图为量度我国西部地区发展水平提供一套昼完整的指标体系，并对一个具体实例进行衡量和计算，由此说明地区的区内发展程度的差异，划分区域发展的不同类型。

AN INDEX SYSTEM FOR MEASURING REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT LEVEL

It is a meaningful task to choose indexes to measure the socio-economic development degree of a nation or a region. In this paper the authors try to build a complete index system to measure the development degree of the western part of China. It is considered that the concept of development should contain three basic intensions, namely, existence, self-esteem and freedom.Based on the comprehension of the concept, a set of indexes as well as their algorith is put forward, which is divided into three layers to measure the development level, wherey the first layer is group indexes, the second is main part indexes, and the third is overall index. The relationship between layer indexes is linear, and principal component and cluster analysis is used as concrete algorithm. Yunnan Province is taken as an example to be analyzed with the index system. According to comprehensive indexes and regional conditions, three types of regions with different development levels are defined. They are 1) Kunming-Yuxi region which is more developed, 2) The outer-ring around Kunming-Yuxi region which is influenced by the latter,and 3) Marginal region which is less developed. It is proved that the index system is serviceable and rational.
