SPATIAL DYNAMICS IN FRANCE UNDER THE EU INTEGRATION

本研究试图通过深入的实地考察，以区域的实际情况为重点，阐明法国国土空间的动态区域变化。为了实现这一目的，我们根据欧盟地区的相对位置选择了三个研究区域：1）第一年调查中以里尔大都市区为例的“中央核心”，2）第二年调查中以里昂大都市区为例的“中间区域”，图卢兹大都市区是“边缘地区”的一个例子在第三年的调查中，我们可以发现这三个地区的共同现象，这些地区的产业集聚是由马斯特里赫特协定后，中央商务区及其周边地区的城市更新，加强了城市的统一，但各大都市区的经济成功潜力因其地理条件而有很大差异。位于欧盟中心地带的里尔大都市区虽然因其较高的交通可达性而具有各种经济优势，但也存在着邻近的巴黎、布鲁塞尔等大城市剥夺了里尔高阶经济功能的弱点。里尔在制造业和流通业方面具有更高的潜力，而不是中心的商业功能和商业活动。里昂通过“欧洲城市”项目的实施，加强了城市管理。另一方面，图卢兹由于远离欧盟中心地带，目前还没有占据优势地位，但由于企业服务活动的增加，其对周边地区的中心地位将在不久的将来得到提高。特别是欧洲飞机制造业的迅速发展值得注意。

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.
