SPATIAL DYNAMICS IN FRANCE UNDER THE EU INTEGRATION

本研究试图通过密集的田野调查实践，以实际的区域情况为中心，厘清法国国家土地空间的动态区域变化。为了达到这一目的，我们根据欧盟地区的相对位置选择了三个研究区域：1)里尔大都市区在第一年的调查中作为“中心核心”的例子，2)里昂大都市区在第二年的调查中作为“中间区域”的例子，3)图卢兹大都市区在第三年的调查中作为“边缘区域”的例子。我们可以发现，在这三个选定的区域中，通过马斯特里赫特协议后加强统一的CBD和周边地区的城市更新，促进了产业集聚的共同现象。但是，各都市圈的经济成功潜力因地理条件的不同而有很大差异。里尔大都市区位于欧盟的中心地带，由于交通通达性较高，因此具有各种经济优势，但里尔也存在着巴黎、布鲁塞尔等邻近大城市剥夺了里尔高阶经济功能的弱点。里尔在制造和流通方面的潜力比中心商业功能和商业活动更大。里昂通过“欧洲城市”项目的实践加强了城市管理，该项目在法国得到了高度评价。另一方面，图卢兹由于距离欧盟中心地带较远，尚未占据优势地位，但在不久的将来，由于企业服务活动的增加，图卢兹对周边地区的中心性将进一步提高。尤其值得注意的是欧洲飞机工业的迅速发展。

This study attempted to clarify the dynamic regional changes in the national land space in France through the practice of intensive fieldwork, by focusing on the actual regional situation. To attain this purpose, we selected three study areas based upon the relative locations in the EU region : 1) the Lille metropolitan area as an example of "central core" in the first year survey, 2) the Lyon metropolitan area as an example of "intermediate region" in the second year survey, and 3) the Toulouse metropolitan area as an example of "marginal region" in the third year survey.We could find the common phenomena in these three selected areas where the industrial agglomeration has been promoted by the urban renewal of the CBD and surroundings after Maastricht agreement that strengthened the unification.However, the economically succeeded potentials in each metropolitan area are quite different by their geographical conditions. Though the Lille metropolitan area which is located in the heartland in the EU has various economic advantages because of the higher transport accessibility, this city has the weakness that nearby big cities such as Paris and Brussels deprived Lille of high-order economic functions. Lille possesses the higher potential in the manufacturing and circulation rather than the central business function and commercial activity. Lyon has enhanced the urban management through the practice of "Euro City" project This project has been highly evaluated in France. On the other hand, Toulouse has not occupied the advantageous position because of the distant location from the EU heartland, but the centrality to the surrounding areas will be progressed due to the increasing enterprise-service activities in near future. Especially the rapid industrial development of airplane production in Europe is noteworthy.
