Abstract
The main goal in this study is to explore the spatial relationship of Chinese regional development potential (DP) and resource & environment carrying capacity (REC) in 2000 and 2006 by using meta-synthesis of spatial statistical analysis and GIS technique. The results show that: The spatial distribution trend of DP and REC are overall gradient descending from coastal to inland, then to the western provinces. They all demonstrate that spatial agglomeration with global significant, namely high-DP regions aggregated in the east, low-DP regions aggregated in the west. The high-REC of central, eastern and southern China are improved and aggregated, but the low-REC aggregated in northwest. Chinese regional DP and REC are divided into five different kinds of regions based on the results of k-means clustering analysis and spatial clustering, which demonstrate that each area's DP and REC's spatial association measure is not very obviously. Compared to the high-DP region, the low-DP region is more restricted to the REC.
