中国县域城镇化研究:历程、议题及趋势展望OACHSSCD

County-level urbanization is an essential component of the new-type urbanization with Chinese characteristics.Adopting the bibliometric tool CiteSpace combined with traditional literature research methods,this paper conducts a knowledge mapping analysis on the evolutionary process,core research topics and future trends of studies on China's county-level urbanization from 1985 to the present.The results show that research on China's county-level urbanization presents phased characteristics along with policy adjustments.The research remained in the initial stage before 2001,entered the exploratory stage from 2002 to 2012,and experienced fluctuated attention between 2013 and 2019 amid the accelerated population agglomeration in large cities.Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,counties have become vital spatial carriers for promoting China's new-type urbanization,and relevant research has entered an all-round active development stage.Current research topics mainly cover the connotation and measurement of county-level urbanization,the spatio-temporal pattern and evolution of population and land urbanization at the county level,influencing factors and dynamic mechanisms of county-level urbanization,as well as development models and promotion strategies of county-level urbanization.Facing the new requirements for the high-quality development of China's new-type urbanization,future research should further delve into the basic theoretical systems of county-level urbanization,coordinated development of county-level urbanization,diversified models and categorized promotion strategies of county-level urbanization,urban-rural integrated development at the county level,and the impact of emerging technologies on county-level urbanization.
