长株潭地区行政区划调整研究

长株潭自古一体,但1951年以来成为了3个行政区.长沙市、株洲市、湘潭市各自发展,已发展成为长株潭联合大都市区.处于转型期的行政区经济严重影响长株潭联合大都市区、长株潭地区发展.消化或解除这种影响,必须调整行政区划.行政区划的调整一是保持3个市格局的小调整,二是与3个市市制有关的大调整,大调整优于小调整.大调整有3个市合并,省管县制、3个市市区合并为1个市,省管县制、缩小的3个市之上设立联合政府3种方案,第二方案最优.

Study on Administrative Division of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan District

Xiangtan and Zhuzhou have long been under the jurisdiction of Changsha since Qin Dynasty.In 1951,Changsha,Zhuzhou and Xiangtan became three administrative areas.Rapid development in recent years witnesses the rising of the Combined Metropolitan Area of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan.The traditional administrative zone economy in transition now restricts the further development and economic integration of CZT.The possible change in administrative division is proposed and discussed by the author to change such situation.Adjustment of administrative division of CZT region can be either minor adjustment,which remains the current status unchanged generally,or major one,which may bring significant change to three municipalities.Here the author prefers the major one.Following this method,three options are available.The first is to combine three municipalities into one city,the second is to adopt the system that puts county under the direct authority of province and combine the urban areas of three municipalities into one,the third is to adopt the "county under province" system while establishing a joint government above the three municipal level.The author recommend the second option.
