Abstract

The change in the industrial land is of great significance to the sustainable development of cities. However, scholars have done relatively little research on this subject, especially on the urban industrial land expansion process and its influencing factors. This article selects Shunde, a typical Chinese industrial city of the Guangdong province, using remote sensing interpretation to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of industrial land expansion from 1995 to 2017 and applies the multiple regression model to analyze the influencing factors. The main conclusions are as follows: the industrial land in Shunde has experienced the development trend of “slow expansion-rapid expansion-slow expansion,” and the “fragmentation” of the industrial land space is still prominent. Decentralization, marketization, capital, and labor force have passed the significance test of the model, which are important factors influencing the expansion of the industrial land in Shunde. Among them, decentralization is the primary factor, while marketization has the greatest impact on industrial land expansion in Shunde. The influence of globalization and technical progress is not significant.

Highlights

After the Second World War, the developed countries represented by the United Kingdom and the United States experienced the process of deindustrialization successively, and the output value of the service industry accounted for more than two-thirds of gross domestic product (GDP) [1]. e process of deindustrialization has caused the great loss of the industrial land in cities
Understanding the urban industrial land expansion process and its influencing factors is very important to the sustainable development of cities [12]. ere is still a knowledge gap in China’s policy of urban industrial land use change and the influencing factors with other countries [7]
Deindustrialization mainly refers to the gradual decline of the advanced manufacturing industry, which used to be the basis of the economic prosperity of industrialized developed countries. It includes the continuous decline of the employment share and output share of manufacturing [17, 18]

Summary

Introduction

After the Second World War, the developed countries represented by the United Kingdom and the United States experienced the process of deindustrialization successively, and the output value of the service industry accounted for more than two-thirds of GDP [1]. e process of deindustrialization has caused the great loss of the industrial land in cities. Gilmore pointed out that the literature on the sustainable urban form focused on the residential and commercial mixed-use development without considering the industrial land [6]. Understanding the urban industrial land expansion process and its influencing factors is very important to the sustainable development of cities [12]. Ere is still a knowledge gap in China’s policy of urban industrial land use change and the influencing factors with other countries [7]. Is paper selects the Shunde district in Foshan, a powerful industrial city in Guangdong province, China, and uses the data of GF-1, Landsat TM/ ETM, and HJ-1A to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution process of industrial land expansion from 1995 to 2017 by manual visual interpretation. We present and discuss our results and arrive at some conclusions
