Abstract

The theoretically spatial distributions of urban capital density of Market Economic Pattern, Command Economic Pattern, and (Chinese) Transforming Economic Pattern from command economy to market economy have been studied and compared. Then, using building cubage rate index, the demonstration of Lanzhou from its districts and different uses of buildings has been done by applying the data based on the high precision satellite image and methods of massive fieldwork lasting more than six months and of GIS technology and maths statistics lasting about 18 months. The conclusions below have been summarized. Firstly, the urban capital density of Market Economic Pattern goes down spatially from their centers to peripheries but one of Command Economic Pattern is balancing or descending slowly or even ascending. However, the trend of urban capital density of (Chinese) Transforming Economic Pattern from command economy to market economy is in the midst of them. Secondly, the urban spatial use of command economy in China presents commerce-residence-industry-agriculture from center to periphery that is greatly different from market economy. Whereas the same pattern still occurs in the period of Chinese Transforming Economic Pattern. Thirdly, the phenomena that high and lower building cubage rates coexist at small space scale widely in Lanzhou are related with difficult changes of land use and lower operation of market economy mechanism and so on. Finally, the trend of spatial distribution pattern of residential and commercial building cubage rates is now close to that of market economy owing to high marketing behavior of both residential building and commercial building where cubage rates are higher than the others.
