Study on the Path of Integration of Southeast Gui Townships into Guangdong's Great Bay Area

As one of the key strategies for China to lead the economic development in the new era, since the in-depth implementation of the reform and opening up for forty years, the Guangdong Greater Bay Area, with its diversified industrial pattern, has vigorously promoted the rapid growth of China's economy and played an indispensable role in the global competition. Its unique geographical location and all-round policy support, as well as its huge economic hinterland, have laid a solid foundation for the synergistic development of industries in the region. Of particular concern is that the town cluster of southeast Gui, consisting of Wuzhou, Yulin and Guigang, is seizing the favorable opportunity of the Pearl River-West River Economic Belt to fully tap its own regional potential, actively expand the scope of external cooperation and exchange, take the initiative to initiate beneficial docking with many developed regions such as Guangdong, do a good job of undertaking industrial relocation, and rely on the Xijiang Golden Waterway to promote the development of advantageous industries and build up a A town system with clear division of labor and mutual cooperation. This innovative theory of synergistic regional economic development provides valuable ideas for the current stage of economic transformation and upgrading in China. It is crucial for the linkage development between the two regions. Therefore, the establishment of Guangdong's Greater Bay Area opens up a broader space for the development of Guandong's southeastern town clusters, while the latter likewise needs to be actively involved in the construction of the Greater Bay Area, to meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities, and to realize the mutual benefits and win-win situation between the regions.This paper takes the main line of researching the integration of Gui-Southeast Townships into the construction of Guangdong Great Bay Area as the main line, and summarizes the content of the article research by finding relevant information, collecting literature monographs, etc. The content of the whole article is divided into five major parts for comprehensive elaboration, firstly, based on the research experience of relevant scholars, combining theoretical foundations and relevant concepts, and then, from the status quo and problems of the integration of Gui-Southeast Townships into the Guangdong Great Bay Area, the analysis of the degree of industrial synergies between the Gui-Southeast Analysis of the degree of industrial synergy between the urban agglomeration and the Guangdong region, and finally propose important paths and countermeasures for integration based on the results of the analysis.The results of the study found that:First, the degree of industrial association between different counties and cities and the Guangdong Greater Bay Area is affected by the structure of their respective three industries. Second, the development indexes of Guigang, Yulin and the whole Guangdong region show an upward trend, while Wuzhou's development index is lower in comparison, and it is found that the development indexes of Gui-Southeast can be narrowed through the vigorous development of Gui-Southeast. Thirdly, the synergies between the Gui-Southeast urban agglomeration and the Guangdong Bay Area are at a low level, and there is a serious lack of synergy for some time. Therefore, in order to integrate into the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, it is necessary to study and learn from the advanced development experiences at home and abroad, optimize the industrial structure, improve the system of accepting industrial transfer, improve the transportation facilities, accelerate the promotion of connectivity to improve the quality and increase the quantity, deepen the reform of the system and at the same time clarify the positioning to undertake the major industrial projects that are difficult to be arranged in the layout of the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, with the aim of realizing a better integration of the South-East Gui Townships into the construction of the Greater Bay Area, and to create a better environment for resource sharing and cooperation between the two regions. Create a situation of resource sharing and win-win cooperation between the two places.

Theoretical Justification for the Implementation of Special Economic Zones: The Case of Luanda-Bengo Economic Zone in Angola

Purpose: In the present study, a literature review was carried out on theories of regional development, namely: the classic ones, those with an emphasis on agglomeration factors, and new theories of regional development. It intended to provide a theoretical foundation for implementing special economic zones, contextualizing the analysis to the Luanda-Bengo Special Economic Zone. Materials and Methods: Thus, the document analysis technique was used to review relevant literature on regional development and its main supporting theories. Findings: It was possible to achieve three main results: that the existence of hubs that bring together population and capital play a central role in the location of commercial and industrial activities; that companies come together in a logic of cooperation, innovation competitiveness, and ZEELB, as a hub of industrial activity, is no exception. Finally, the factors that determine the location and spatial agglomeration of economic activities, as well as the relationships of interdependence established between the various driving and driven units, possible in a ZEE, are also present in the foundations of adopting ZEELB operations. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theories about the location and agglomeration of economic activities in geographically, customs, and legally demarcated spaces, such as ZEELB, should be used in studies for future implementations of similar projects. Exchange between academia and structuring investment planning bodies such as ZEELB, so that based on its adoption as part of the global economic development strategy, is necessary. Public policymakers should see ZEELB as an opportunity to serve as a laboratory for policies at the following levels: tax, customs, regulatory, commercial, and management

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE THEORY OF REGIONAL ECONOMICS IN CHINA

FORMATION AND EVOLUTION OF THE THEORY OF REGIONAL ECONOMICS IN CHINA

The Principles of Land Use in The Morphological Dimension of Spatial Management in An Urban Area of The Province of South Sulawesi (Socio-Legal Review)

Purpose: This study aims to analyze and explain the principles of land use within the dimensions of spatial morphology in urban development patterns in South Sulawesi Province and their relevance to spatial strategy. It also aims to analyze and explain factors affecting urban development patterns in the province concerning spatial strategy. Theoretical framework: Sustainable urban land use emphasizes balancing economic growth, environmental preservation, and social equity. It includes long-term resource sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and climate-resilient communities. Effective urban planning should prioritize inclusivity, community involvement, and sustainable transportation for accessible and functional cities. Regional development theory highlights coordinated policies for sustainable economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being, including diversifying the local economy and enhancing education and healthcare access. Holistic regional development integrates economic, environmental, and social factors, laying the groundwork for responsible land use. Methods: The research was conducted in five Regency/cities in South Sulawesi: Makassar, Gowa, Pangkaje'ne and Islands, Soppeng, and Palopo, with 80 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The study employed descriptive analysis with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Findings: The findings conclude that the principles of land use in South Sulawesi are less than optimally used as guidelines for urban development despite being incorporated into the spatial planning of the Province and Regency/Cities. Practical implications: The implementation of urban development patterns is suboptimal in coordination with urban spatial plans of the Province and Districts. Legal factors, facilities, legal awareness, and the environment positively influence development patterns, while coordination has a negative impact. Originality/Value: The study recommends revising or issuing spatial planning regulations following Law No. 26 of 2007. Consistent supervision, control, and sanctioning by local governments in urban development in South Sulawesi. Enhancement of facilities for the supervision and control of spatial planning. Increasing public legal awareness through the socialization of spatial arrangement regulations. Inter-agency coordination in urban development through a One-Stop Service Office for optimal access to land use permission and spatial planning following the spatial plans of the Regency/Cities.

Territorial Brand in Regional Development: Interdisciplinary Discussions

Almost half of the world’s countries, including cities, have strategically adopted the territorial brand. This essay proposes an interdisciplinary reflection on the relationship between territorial brands and territorial and regional development theories. It discusses how the brand relates to the territory, making it a social actor mediated by a distinctive signal, the territorial brand. The intersection between the concepts of territory and brand reveals the legitimation strategies of social actors in producing a collective space delimited by power relations. Beyond the economic and tourist spheres, this context brings new debates to politics, theory, and social sciences in interdisciplinary regional development.

Regional Development Environment, Local Government’s Character Behavior, and Sustainability: Empirical Evidence from China

After the rapid economic growth through reform and opening-up over 40 years, Chinese governments are seeking transformation for high-quality and sustainable development currently. Regional economic development is related to internal and external environments as well as local government’s character behaviors. Employing Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Consciousness-Context-Behavior (CCB) theory, we construct a theoretical framework to measure the relationships between regional development environment (RDE), local government’s character behavior (LGCB), and regional sustainable capability (RSC). We collect the data of 30 provinces in mainland China from 2001 to 2020 to conduct hypothesis testing and empirical analysis. The results show that both RDE and LGCB are associated with RSC, and LGCB significantly mediates the relationship between RDE and RSC. However, the effects of different RDE elements on RSC are heterogeneous. Our study enriches regional sustainable development theory. It arouses us to better understand LGCB and attach importance to the roles of RDE and LGCB in regional sustainability. The enlightenment is important to global developing countries.

BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF LITERATURE ON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE CENTER- PERIPHERY MODEL IN EUROPE

This paper investigates the effect of spatial divisions and their demarcations on the formation of networks and the inadequacies of specific policy implementations in mitigating marginalization processes. Despite the controversies surrounding numerous theoretical premises, the center-periphery model remains widely accepted. Implications of these ideas by synthesizing critical findings from a vast array of prior literature using a comprehensive bibliometric analysis have been clarified. Innovation and a readjustment of regional policy are required to address the disparities between the center and the periphery. Regional development policies of the European Union aim to reconcile the socioeconomic chasm between prosperous and peripheral regions. The localization theory of regional development provides insights into the spatial distribution of firms, the dispersion of economic prosperity, and the potential for future growth. These insights provide valuable perspectives on regional policies and the factors that influence the geographical distribution of economic activity.

Cities and Territorial Brand in The Metaverse: The Metaverse SEOUL Case

Cities involve units of time and space, being part of historical, social, economic, cultural, and tourist imaginary constructions. The goal is to understand how the territorial brand, based on regional development theories, is being used in the metaverse city of Seoul, South Korea. The method used was a case study associated with bibliographic and documentary research, using a protocol with four analytical categories. The main results referred to a metaverse territorial-regional brand, bringing discussions about a new geographical-virtual-immersive metaverse scale. It also addressed the use of recognition and competitiveness strategies between interactive-immersive territories. The conclusion confirms that Seoul’s metaverse territorial-regional brand is strategically divided into three situations: (1) For city marketing purposes, positioning it as the first metaverse global city; (2) in city branding to strengthen the reputation and identity of the territory; and (3) to drive the transformation of physical territory with urban revitalization projects from the metaverse environment. Moreover, it serves Metaverse Seoul as an interactive and immersive field laboratory in virtual reality.

Ecosystems and Their Digital Models as Factors of Algocognitive Culture and Transition to New Technological Order

In the paradigm of dissipative structures based on theories of economic and regional development, business networks, and the theory of algocognitive culture, the authors studied the processes of the formation of ecosystem formats for business development in the region as the core of a new technological paradigm. The research aimed to identify the relationship between current development formats in digital transformation with the basic foundations of business ecosystems and the possibility and willingness to use ESG principles and network practices to replicate cognitive forms of human brain hypernetworks. In this research, the authors used the methods of systemic and comparative analysis, grouping, and generalization including the authors’ practices of functional environmental analysis. As a result, the primary trends showed cooperative-network multi-level formats of interaction between business partners in the space of value formation, the development of the business ecosystem environment of the regional economy, and guidelines for the development of service practices. The new ecosystem formats implemented in the economy are considered as a manifestation of the patterns of dissipative structures and new realities of algocognitive culture including the formation of algorithmic thinking of a contemporary person. The compliance of the development of mass businesses in the region with the primary basic characteristics of ecosystems and their active use of basic digital technologies in business processes is shown. The authors revealed the readiness and need for the development of the economy of the region in the formats of ecosystems and a sufficient degree of development of this kind of format by various businesses of the territory. The possibility and necessity of using digital models of business ecosystems were established and the primary hypothesis of the research was confirmed, which forms the assumption about the active development of modern formats of interactions in the environment of small and medium-sized businesses and their cooperative associations. It provides a basis for the proposal and development of digital models of such interactions, which should significantly increase the effectiveness and speed of qualitative changes in the transition to a new technological way of life.

Spatial and temporal characteristics of rural livability and its influencing factors: implications for the development of rural revitalization strategy.

Building livable rural regions is a key objective of China's rural revitalization, and fostering coordinated and sustainable regional development in China necessitates investigating the geographical and temporal distribution and influencing variables of livability in China's rural areas. This paper compares the concept and connotation of rural livability based on regional economic development theory and sustainable development theory, integrates China's rural revitalization strategy, proposes an index system for evaluating rural livability in China, and conducts an empirical analysis of livable rural areas. Firstly, the level of rural livability development is measured by the entropy method; secondly, the aggregation effect of provinces is demonstrated by using the Moran I index, and finally, the spatial Durbin model is used to explore the influencing factors of rural livability and its spatial spillover effects. Findings of our study reveal that the results of the entropy method indicate that the livability of rural China is in a growing development trend in all provinces, but the livability shows some regional disparities. The Moran index reveals that there are obvious spatial autocorrelations in the livability of Chinese rural areas, and the most typical features are the "high" and "low" clusters. The spatial Durbin model suggests that the influences on the development of rural livability are diverse. Besides, other variables such as environmental pollution and per capita housing area show a negative association with rural livability, and investment in fixed assets, cultural atmosphere and medical health show a positive relationship with rural livability. Based on the study findings, it is proposed that in the rural revitalization strategy process, the formulation of monitoring system should be strengthened and intensify the promotion of coordinated inter-regional development.

Tourism in the context of contemporary theories of regional development

Tourism is a significant segment of development policy at the national level, and it is important in terms of contributing to the Gross domestic product (GDP) diversifying of economy, reducing disparities between regions, fostering development capital, and promoting regional development. Tourism greatly contributes to the sustainable development of a region and a unit of local self-government, in an environment where sometimes there are no other alternatives for achieving that goal. Theories of regional development and tourism have evolved over a similar period after the Second World War. The concept of regional development has undergone a significant transformation through various theories. The paper analyzes the main principles of the theory of endogenous regional development and the possibility of its application for tourism research as a development factor. Tourism development policy is often created by the views of these theories. The purpose of this paper is to indicate, based on the analysis of modern ideas and approaches to regional development, whether they are suitable for the study of tourism and which factors are decisive in achieving its development function. The paper points out certain elements of theories that can individually or together represent the theoretical basis for tourism development planning in regions and local government units.

ФОРМУВАННЯ СУЧАСНОЇ ПАРАДИГМИ ПУБЛІЧНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ В УМОВАХ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ ТА ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗАЦІЇ

The article examines the functioning of mechanisms of state management of sustainable development of regions (MSU of the SRR). The purpose of the study is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the MSU of the SRR and the development of practical recommendations for their improvement in the conditions of globalization. A systematic study of the formation of the conceptual foundations of the improvement of state management mechanisms for the sustainable development of regions in the conditions of globalization was carried out. On this basis, the principles of development and operation of a complex mechanism of state administration at the regional level are systematized, which characterizes the level of the ability of the public administration system not only to function in the conditions of social transformations, but also to introduce innovative forms and methods of activity at the level of administrative-territorial units. It was established that the strategic direction of institutional changes in the system of public administration in Ukraine is the transformation of the existing model of territorial administration, the introduction of the principles of decentralization and subsidiarity, the implementation of positive foreign experience of regional administration. It is proved that the existing theories of regional development belong to the integrated scientific direction, which combines economic, social, cultural, ecological and other spheres of functioning of regions in order to form a system of ideas about the regularities of their development and functioning. Based on the methodology of the theory of regional development, it is possible to: 1) identify regional development trends; 2) develop models and mechanisms of regional development; 3) predict the results of the implementation of sectoral and local reforms; 4) develop algorithms for the implementation of system reforms based on foreign experience and the principles of «Good governance». Conceptual approaches to the adoption and implementation of regional development strategies are proposed. It was established that the state, as the bearer of national interests and constitutional guarantees, must ensure continuity in the creation and constant improvement of conceptual foundations, institutional mechanisms for the implementation of regional policy, and the implementation of specific local projects and programs. The content of the modern concept of sustainable development in the system of public management, which, while preserving the established constructive features, is determined and essentially changes in the organizational-legal, institutional and administrative-political sense is substantiated. The dichotomous relationship between the processes of regionalization, globalization, and decentralization is proven. the conceptual-categorical apparatus of the science of public administration, in particular in the part of clarifying the content of the concepts «mechanisms of public administration of sustainable development of regions», «state administration of regional development», «sustainable development of regions», developed taking into account the European experience of rationalization of regional policy.

Bringing History back into Media Systems Theory. Multiple Modernities and Institutional Legacies in Latin America

Since Hallin and Mancini's (2004) seminal work, many scholars from around the world have proposed different models of media systems for countries and regions outside the Western world. Particular challenges have arisen when conceptualizing the systems in Latin America, where shifting liberal and polarized pluralist models have been proposed, and where media traits like clientelism and collusion remain in spite of political, economic and social changes. We contend that one obstacle to the characterization of the resilience of certain structures and practices in this region is the lack of a historical perspective to account for specific processes of media modernization. Drawing on the multiple modernization paradigm, as well as on post-colonial theories, system differentiation theories of the Global South, and theories of uneven regional development, we understand Latin American modernization processes as the appropriation, adaptation, or rejection of certain elements of Western institutions, ideals and values. In media systems, this might produce: (a) centralization of power, (b) a struggle between elites, (c) state-driven differentiation, and (d) regional or local subsystems. Our historical perspective aims to explain the prevalence of several media structures, and show how institutional legacies yield core media traits, in order to pave the way for further model inference.

Operating Mechanism of University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education and Its Contribution to Regional Economy

China has already ushered in a new economic development stage and its main driving force for the high-quality economic development has gradually shifted to innovation and entrepreneurship and high-level innovative talents. Existing research has ignored to some extent the discussion on regional differences and underdeveloped areas. To this end, this paper studies the operating mechanism of university innovation and entrepreneurship education and its contribution to regional economy. First, based on the theories of human capital and regional economic development, a labor output elasticity estimation model was constructed for regional human resources, to measure the contribution rate of the innovation and entrepreneurship education in regional universities to regional economic development. Considering the complex relationship between university innovation and entrepreneurship education and regional economic development and fluctuations, a suitable VAR model was constructed based on the economic theory to analyze and empirically study the relationship between the two. Finally, the calculation results of the contribution rates of the university innovation and entrepreneurship education in the region and various sub-regions were provided based on the experiment, which verified the effectiveness of the calculation method and analysis model.

Industrial growth versus agricultural growth in eight post-communist countries

Several theories of regional economic development and structural economic transformation have emphasized the important role of agricultural development in industrialization and vice versa. In the view of Benjamin Franklin, the agricultural and nonagricultural sectors are competitive, whereas in Alexander Hamilton's opinion the two sectors are complementary. Does agricultural growth support or compete with industrial growth? To address this question, we examine the causal relationship between the sectoral output in agriculture and manufacturing in eight post-communist countries. The bootstrap panel Granger causality approach is utilized to detect the direction of causality. The findings show that the growth complementarity hypothesis is confirmed in five out of eight countries under review. Policy implications are discussed.

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF REGIONAL FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS AMPLIFICATION

Topicality. The article explores the issue of determining the direction in which the region should develop its foreign economic relations, how to rebuild a regional economic system in order to realize their resources and opportunities for growth in the globalized international economy in the most effective way. Theoretical and conceptual foundations of the regional foreign economic relations development, analysed in this article, determine a role of commodity exports, imports of modern technologies, investment (including foreign capital), innovation, institutional environment and entrepreneurship for regional development. Among other issues addressed in this article, special attention was paid to analysis of changes in regional development paradigms.Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to study theoretical and conceptual foundations of regional development through by means of regional foreign economic relations amplification. In addition, the objectives of the current study include: highlighting changes of scientific views on paradigms of regional development in terms of areas of amplification of regional foreign economic relations, identification of the main contradictions and temporal context of the proposed theories and concepts of regional development, addition to the main trends in the theoretical and conceptual basis of regional development in recent years.Research results. The article considers a formation of theories and concepts of regional development, which provide for the intensification of regional foreign economic relations. The analysis of theoretical and conceptual bases of regional foreign economic relations amplification testifies the transformation of paradigms of regional development according to a context of times in which there were changes of scientific views on the reasons and consequences of regional growth. The article examines the evolutionary transformation of regional economic development paradigms through the following theories: spatial location theory, theory of international (interregional) trade, Keynesian theories (export base theory and input-output model), neoclassical theories of regional economic development, concepts of economic rationalism, comparative, competitive and common advantages, theories of globalization, sustainable development, regional self-help and endogenous development, a new growth theory. Based on the analysis of the regional development theoretical foundations, the article establishes that the main theories and concepts of regional foreign economic relations mostly focused on consideration of such incentives as: capital investment, technological innovation, foreign trade, agglomeration effect (economies of scale), as well as a level of institution development.Conclusion. The article states that there is no single generally accepted theory for providing scientific approaches to a complementary amplification of regional foreign economic relations. Certain theories and concepts, which form theoretical foundations for the regional foreign economic relations amplification, have relatively practical application only in specific cases. Thus, by means of an application of the postulates of the theory of international and interregional trade, the optimal structure of the external trade turnover of the region and the parameters of determining the commodity positions for import substitution are determined; neoclassical theory of spatial equilibrium serves as a theoretical basis for choosing investment attraction’ direction in prioritized regional production and infrastructure facilities; new regional growth theories (including, of endogenous regional development concept) serve as a theoretical background for choosing tools for foreign economic activity intensification in order to ensure regional development. At the same time, achieving regional growth, in the modern sense, is not possible without considering principles of sustainable development and self-sufficiency of a territory, therefore, an amplification of foreign economic relations in the region, even in a globalized world, should be based mainly on endogenous factors, while strengthening its development with an innovation and investment components from the external environment.

The Border Development in Biski Beach Tourism in Riau Province

Pasir Limau Kapas Subdistrict is located in Rokan Hilir Regency, which has interesting tourist destinations but needs to be developed. In particular, Biski Beach tourism, which is visited by many local people and those from outside the area, but in reality, it is still far from what is expected, even though the potential for natural tourism objects is very feasible. A solution is sought. This is an interesting issue to be discussed. Pasir Limau Kapas Subdistrict [Palika], Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province, is an underdeveloped, isolated, and outermost area. This position makes welfare an important and major issue. Important and main issues related to welfare include minimal and slow infrastructure development and ambiguous development policies [the average policy issued overlaps and does not support each other related to development in border areas]. Based on various important issues, this study aims first to explain how the development of the border area (Case Study: Biski Beach Tourism Object, Pasir Limau Kapas District, Rokan Hilir Regency). The research approach used is qualitative with a descriptive analysis method. Primary and secondary data were gathered through document reviews, interviews with informants chosen using the purposive sampling technique, and observations and literature reviews.After collecting the data, it was analyzed by means of the Interactive Analysis Model. The theory used in this research is the Theory of Regional Development according to Riyadi (2000). There are three indicators of the success of regional development that can be seen. The first is productivity, the second is efficiency, and the last is community participation, which can ensure the continuity of the implementation of a program in an area. Based on these indicators, it is known that the development of the border area is not optimal.
