Abstract:

Based on the large-sample database of the second economic unit census in Beijing, employing the methods of Factor Analysis and Cluster Analysis, the paper studies the characteristics, model, process and mechanism of territorial structure of producer services in Beijing metropolitan area. The results show that (1) there are seven different territorial districts in Beijing metropolitan area. (2) The central area of the city is a mixed zone of various types of producer services with poor homogeneity. The inner margin of suburban areas has stronger homogeneity, and four regional types are identified. In the outer margin of suburban areas and the exurb, except for individual independent heterogeneous points, there are mostly scattered areas with traditional state-owned producer services. (3) Territorial structure in the transition period is the outcome of the dual strength from the government and markets, and the dynamic process is an interaction between organization and spontaneity. From the microcosmic view, the enterprises' location choice is a key factor shaping the territorial structure of producer services. Seven factors can affect the location choice of the producer service enterprises fundamentally. From the macroscopic view, four external forces play a guiding and regulatory role in forming and changing the territorial structures of producers services. Finally it is found that there is much uniqueness compared with the western theory, and western location theory was applied to a certain extent. However, the theory should be appropriately amended in specific location decisions for different industries because of the influence from the governmental forces.
