大型工矿企业是煤炭资源型地区工业化推动城镇化发展的核心要素。研究大型工矿企业区位选择对城镇体系空间结构的影响，是解释煤炭资源型地区城镇体系空间演变特殊机制的重要视角。本项目综合区位论与城镇化空间结构理论，以山西省为例，选取山西省7大煤炭企业集团，分析大型工矿企业各环节区位选择对城镇体系空间结构影响的过程与格局，揭示由此形成的“城-矿”空间关系；进一步，解释大型工矿企业各环节区位指向影响城镇体系空间结构的作用机理；在此基础上，针对大型工矿企业区位指向与城镇体系空间组织演变的新背景和新趋势，提出煤炭资源型地区“城-矿”空间优化的调控措施。总体来看，本研究在理论上，探讨工矿区位与城镇区位的空间耦合关系；解释大型工矿企业区位选择对城镇体系空间结构演变的作用机理；在实践上，针对国家重大发展战略“山西省国家资源型经济转型综合配套改革试验区”实施的现实需求，提供地理学人地关系研究领域的科学支撑。

The large-sized mineral industry is the core element in the process of urbanization promoted by industrialization in coal-based areas. The study will integrate theories on location and urbanization spatial structure，and take the case of 7 large-sized coal enterprises in Shanxi Province to analyses the process and pattern that the impact of the large-sized mineral enterprises location change on spatial structure of urban system in coal-based areas, then reveal the "urban –mineral industry " spatial relationships at first. Furthermore, it will explain the impacted mechanism of the large-sized mineral enterprises location change on spatial structure of urban system. Finally, on the bases of analysis on the trend of spatial development of large-sized mineral enterprises, it will propose the spatial structure optimization measures on urban system in coal-based regional areas. In the whole, the study can explain the coupling relationship between locations of urban and mineral industry, while it can explain the spatial mechanism in the view of viewpoint of the location changes of large-sized mineral enterprises in theory. On the other hand, it provide scientific basis in geography human-environment system for the practice that the state significant strategy of Shanxi Resource-based Economy Comprehensive Reform Pilot Area.
