URBAN AGRICULTURAL SPATIAL DIFFERENTIATION RESEARCH
Abstract
As a big agricultural country, China is experiencing rapid urbanization, and urban agriculture plays a very important role. In this paper, we collected the basic agricultural economic data of the Changsha-Zhuzhou- Xiangtan City Circle, one of the nine urban clusters in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in south-central China with a vital role in grain production, and constructed-16 indicators to evaluate the production-economic function, cultural leisure function and ecological function using geography model and 1KM?1KM grid. Next, data changes were precisely demonstrated in space to reveal their spatial differentiation in the city cluster. The spatial correlation is significant between economic function and urban cultural leisure function, but weak in ecological function. Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province, has a higher economic but a lower cultural leisure function value than either Xiangtan or Zhuzhou, while Zhuzhou has a relatively high agro-ecological function value. This research provides useful information for urban agriculture planning, urban planning and coordinated urban development in China
