| Study on the characteristics of spatial-temporal evolution of functional structure in Xi’anMetropolitan Area |

| Abstract: |
| With the advancement of regional economic integration, metropolitan areas centered on
megacities have emerged as pivotal drivers for comprehensive socio-economic development and crucial
spatial organizational forms in China’s highly urbanized regions. As the economic hub with the most
favorable development conditions and strongest economic-population carrying capacity in Northwest China,
the Xi’an Metropolitan Circle plays a strategic role in promoting socialist modernization and establishing
new development paradigms. The consolidation of its core status has progressively enhanced Xi'an City’s
influence over adjacent districts and counties (Xianyang, Weinan, Tongchuan) in economic and
demographic domains, intensifying interconnectedness among various regional elements. Distinct from
eastern metropolitan circles like the Yangtze River Delta, the Xi’an Metropolitan Circle exhibits localized
developmental characteristics typical of western China. Given the critical impact of functional structures on
spatial distribution and regional coordinated development, coupled with its unique research subject
attributes, investigating the spatiotemporal evolution of its functional structure holds significant academic
value for fostering regional synergy. This study employs statistical data from the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh
National Population Censuses, integrating a three-dimensional analytical framework encompassing
“functional scale, functional intensity, and functional structure evolution” to examine the functional
characteristics of the Xi’an Metropolitan Circle over the past three decades. Key findings include: 1)
functional scale: The hierarchical structure transitions from spindle-shaped to pyramid-shaped; 2) functional
intensity: core-periphery differentiation influenced by policy shifts highlights the dominance of core areas
and reflects policy embeddedness in evolutionary processes; 3) spatial configuration: an evolutionary
trajectory from “monocentric strong agglomeration” to a “monocentric-circular-radiation zone” spatial
pattern; 4) industrial structure: an emerging division system exhibits a spatial layout characterized by
“secondary industries in peripheral zones and tertiary industries in core areas,” demonstrating hierarchical
spatial differentiation of “lower-external and higher-internal” industrial tiers. Based on these findings, a
tripartite “Space-Industry-Governance” strategy system is proposed: 1)spatial optimization: strengthen
functional complementarity between core and peripheral areas, leverage the core’s catalytic role in
constructing a polycentric pattern, and promote balanced development through functional decentralization
and relocation. 2) industrial restructuring: advance localized industrial chain development, optimize vertical
integration systems, and enhance industrial park clustering while aligning with existing spatial distribution
features. 3) governance innovation: refine cross-regional coordination mechanisms through fiscal policies
and digital technologies, focusing on “boundary-breaking integration” and “symbiotic development” to
narrow regional disparities and optimize governance frameworks. This research contributes theoretical and
practical insights in three dimensions 1)methodologically, it extends metropolitan functional analysis
through multidimensional integration; 2)empirically, it reveals the unique evolutionary logic of western
Chinese metropolitan areas under dual market-governmental drivers; 3)practically, it provides policy
references for optimizing functional structures and achieving cross-regional coordination in developing
economies. The outcomes offer actionable guidance for advancing high-quality development in China’s
western regions and refining metropolitan spatial governance paradigms. |
