项目摘要

About 25 years have passed since a new approach to regional problems, the so-called "Chiiki-Kozo-Ron" or Regional Structure Approach, was established by some Japanese economic geographers in the early 1970s. This approach is distinguished by its dynamic analysis of regional and urban systems within the national economy from the viewpoint of the capitalist reproduction structure, and by its articulation of locational strategies of large enterprises that play a pivotal role in the changes of regional structures. Numbers of empirical studies have revealed the locational dynamics of the leading industries and the characteristics of the regional structure in each industrialized country. As for the new development of this approach, international comparison on the changes in regional structures is one of the important subjects.In this research project, we have seen that the evolution of advanced capitalism and the emergence of an informational economy have led to a significant reorganization of the economic geography of places and regions throughout the developed world. This reorganization has modified many of the core-periphery patterns of regional development associated with industrial capitalism. Yet core-periphery patterns and regional economic disparities, such as North-South divide in Britain, East-West divide in Germany, and Snowbelt vs Sunbelt in the USA, have by no means disappeared. Rather, they have been reconfigured and intensified. Core regions within developed countries have typically been centered on urban-industrial heartlands, but have recently been modified by the geography of service activities, particularly business services, and by the imprint of the new spatial divisions of labor associated with globalization, decentralization, and agglomeration.

自20世纪70年代初一些日本经济地理学家提出一种研究区域问题的新方法以来，大约已经过去了25年，即所谓的“Chiiki-Kozo-罗恩”或区域结构方法。这种方法的特点是从资本主义再生产结构的角度对国民经济中的区域和城市系统进行动态分析，并阐明在区域结构变化中起关键作用的大企业的区位战略。大量的实证研究揭示了每个工业化国家主导产业的区位动态和区域结构的特点。关于这种方法的新发展，地区结构变化的国际比较是重要课题之一。在本研究中，我们看到，发达资本主义的演变和信息经济的出现，导致发达国家的地方和地区的经济地理发生了重大重组。这种重组改变了许多与工业资本主义相关的核心-边缘区域发展模式。然而，核心-边缘模式和区域经济差异，如英国的南北分化、德国的东西分化、美国的“雪带”与“阳光带”，并没有消失。相反，它们被重新配置和强化。发达国家的核心地区通常集中在城市工业中心地带，但最近被服务活动的地理位置所改变，特别是商业服务，以及与全球化、分散化和聚集相关的新的空间劳动分工的印记。
